Product Description
Zipp Service Course SL 400mm Seatpost | 24.5mm | 20mm Offset | In Matte Black
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.

Since the introduction of our line of Service Course SL components we’ve had amazing success with our pro level athletes in all disciplines.
While the successes have been proving, we have also drawn from their feedback. We not only learned how and why athletes make their equipment choices, but how our manufacturing methods and materials affect product performance.
With new knowledge as well as new engineering, we are proud to introduce our completely redesigned Service Course SL seatpost with a carbon tube and aluminium head for better shock absorption and weight savings.
