Product Description

Zipp Handlebar Drop Service Course SL 70 XPLR A2 in Matte Black with Gloss Logos

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 Handlebar Drop Service Course SL 70 XPLR A2 in Matte Black with Gloss Logos

This is Zipp’s innovative all-road handlebar, the Service Course SL 70 XPLR. The bar’s moniker, XPLR, exemplifies the desire to explore the world with an expanded definition of cycling on a drop bar bicycle… from paved roads onto gravel, mud, dirt, and even single track. The Service Course SL 70 XPLR help you go faster by placing your body, starting with your hands, in an optimal “comfort zone” position for hours of rough riding over mixed terrain. Today’s riders demand a few things out of their cockpit, whether they are doing a two-hour training ride from home or a 200-mile gravel adventure: comfort, control, and the ability to carry what they need. We met these needs by creating a bar with shallow and wide drops, specifically focusing on two crucial metrics—outsweep and flare. Outsweep is created by rotating the drop below the brake perch outward. Flare is created by rotating the entire drop above the brake perch outward.
