Product Description
ZIPP Drop SL 70 Ergonomic Top A2 Handlebars Carbon/Matte Black All Sizes
Zipp is an American company that is best known for designing, manufacturing, and marketing carbon-composite bicycle wheels for road cycling, triathlons, track racing, and mountain biking.
The company's product range also includes handlebars, stems, seat posts, tires, inner tubes, handlebar tape, and bags.
In 1988, the company was founded by motorsports engineer Leigh Sargent and released its first carbon fiber disc wheel.
Zipp was acquired by bicycle component manufacturer Sram in November 2007. In October 2010, Zipp relocated from its original design and manufacturing facility in Speedway, Indiana to an expanded site in Indianapolis.
The company was first to market with dimpled discs and rims (they also own the patent), to induce boundary layer turbulence and prevent detached airflow in crosswinds.
Zipp has done pioneering research in aerodynamics, using various high tech wind tunnels, and has published advanced papers in this area.
The company was also the first to produce disc wheels, deep section rims, and cranksets using carbon fiber technology.
ZIPP Drop SL 70 Ergonomic Top A2 Handlebars Carbon/Matte Black All Sizes
Light weight, comfort, and strength: the new SL-70 Ergo is the ultimate handlebar for long days in the saddle.
The SL-70 Ergo combines the flat bar top shape of the beloved Contour SL bar with numerous modern features sought after by riders and pro bike fitters.
The SL-70 Ergo sports a 70mm reach and 128 drop.
The short 70mm reach has been a popular choice in recent years, as it allows bike fitters flexibility in achieving a comfortable position without sacrificing steering control.
The drop utilizes a variable radius, allowing for multiple hand positions and deeper movement into the drop.
As a result, reach to the brake lever is shorter.
A 3° backsweep on the flat tops keeps the wrist in a comfortable position, essential for long days on pavement or gravel, while the 10° ramp angle provides a smooth transition to modern shifter hoods.
Brake and shifter housing is elegantly hidden along the underside of the bar.
