Zipp Service Course SL-88 Handlebar High Polished Black 44cm

Drop handlebars used to have one shape. Period. Now there are countless styles to choose from -- anatomic short reach double-bend just to name a few. The Zipp Service Course SL-88 is a traditional bend drop bar. A replacement for the Service Course SL-TB it is a strong lightweight aluminum bar. Regardless of the popularity of carbon for both weight and 'bling' factor aluminum has not lost its appeal. It provides strong sprinters with security as they grip the bars and drive the bike forward with thousands of watts. It also adds a few extra ounces to an ultralight bike that may not otherwise meet UCI weight requirements. Because aluminum remains popular among all levels of riders Zipp designs its Service Course with fit and durability that compete with similar carbon bars. The SL-88 was designed with a round section tubing featuring an 88mm reach and a 130mm drop with a round bend. The round bend allows ample room to position hands while in the drops. Additionally the round bend has only a slight 20 degree angle -- levers may be positioned in several positions to accommodate different styles of riding. There is no need to rotate your bars toward the heavens to get that perfect fit. The Zipp Service Course SL-88 Handlebars are available in 3 widths from 40cm-44cm measured center to center and each pair fits a 31. 8mm stem. They come in two colors: Polished Black a high gloss finish with white logos or Beyond Black a matte black with etched logos for a stealthy look.
