Zipp Handlebar Drop SL 80 Race

A high-end handlebar should optimally connect you with your bike, combining ergonomic comfort with aerodynamic efficiency. The Zipp SL 80 Race is a premium aero road bike handlebar made from carbon, specifically designed for use with the SRAM RED AXS group. The handlebar features an overhang that covers the brake line at the transition to the grip body. This ledge creates a platform that harmonizes with the brake lever and provides an ideal resting surface for your hands while riding on the grips. The shape of the drop bar has been optimized to allow better access to the brake lever in the sprint position. The SL 80 Race also offers defined markings on the drop and top bars for easy positioning of the SRAM Wireless Blips. The top bar has a wing shape for improved aerodynamic efficiency while incorporating essential innovations for a relaxed ride. The top bar is ideal for long climbs or for those who prefer riding on the top bar, as it is slightly sloped, preventing your hands from resting flat. Previous aero models typically did not have handlebar tape on the top bars, which made the carbon in that position uncomfortable and potentially slippery. In contrast, the SL 80 Race features an easy-to-attach heat-shrink grip that conceals cables and Blips while providing a non-slip surface.
