Zipp’s Service Course SL-80 bars keep the drops close and within reach and, because they’re angled outwards by 4 degrees, your wrists remain in a strong, natural position. This lets you get low and aero without compromising comfort or control. The transition from the tops to the brake hoods is flat, providing a comfortable platform for your hands. so you can ride comfortably, even in a more upright position without having to awkwardly torque your wrists. The Service Course SL-80 Handlebar is stiff and light for uncompromising strength and climbing prowess, weighing only 60g more than Zipp's comparable carbon bars. The short 80mm reach makes the drops more accessible without needing a shorter stem, which can make the bike twitchy. The drop is also a moderate 125mm, so you don't have to be a circus performer to use them comfortably, and the rounded top of the bars
