Zipp Service Course SL 70 B2 Road Handlebar Drop Compact Aero Compatible

The Zipp Handlebar Drop Service Course SL 70 B2 is engineered for cyclists who demand precision, comfort, and control in their ride. Constructed from high-grade 7050 aluminium, this handlebar delivers a robust yet lightweight solution, finished with a matte black nano blast coating that enhances durability and maintains an elegant appearance. Its compact design features a 70mm reach and 128mm drop, offering an aerodynamic position tailored for riders seeking a short reach without compromising steering responsiveness. This makes it an excellent choice within the Handlebars category for those prioritising both performance and ergonomic fit.

Designed with a flattened top and a subtle 3° backsweep, the Service Course SL 70 ensures superior hand comfort during extended rides, reducing fatigue and enhancing control. Its compatibility with clip-on aero bars adds versatility, making it suitable for time trials and triathlons where aerodynamic efficiency is paramount. Available in multiple widths ranging from 36cm to 44cm, this handlebar accommodates a broad spectrum of rider sizes and preferences, facilitating an optimal riding posture tailored to individual needs.

Featuring an updated 10° ramp angle, this handlebar caters to riders with shorter torsos and those seeking a more aggressive aerodynamic stance paired with longer stems. The precise 31.8mm clamp diameter guarantees a secure and stable fit with most stems, while Zipp’s lifetime warranty underscores the product’s reliability and quality assurance, providing peace of mind for professional and recreational cyclists alike.
