SL80 Race Carbon Handlebar

ZippSL80 Race Carbon Handlebar

A high-end handlebar should connect you to your bike seamlessly, merging ergonomic comfort with aerodynamic efficiency. The Zipp SL 80 Race does just that as a premium aero-road carbon bar explicitly designed for use with the SRAM RED AXS groupset. The bar features an overhang to cover the brake hose where it exits the hood. This shelf creates a platform that mates with the brake lever, providing an ideal perch for your hands while riding on the hoods. The drop shape has been refined to give the rider easy access to the brake lever while riding in the drops. The SL 80 Race also has defined locators marked on the drop and the bar top for easy placement of SRAM Wireless Blips. The bar top has a wing shape for improved aerodynamic efficiency, while also including key innovations for you to comfortably ride on the bar tops. Ideal for long climbs or for those who love to grab the tops and go, the bar top has a slight downsweep, so your hands don’t sit flat. The top sections of previous aero-road bars typically were not taped, leaving uncomfortable and potentially slippery carbon to hold in the tops position. However, the SL 80 Race includes an easily applied heat-shrink grip that hides hoses and blips and a no-slip surface to hold.
