Zipp SL-70 Ergo Handlebar

The 'Ergo' designation refers to the flattened top section and the 3-degree backsweep, which are designed to keep your wrists in a more natural, neutral position. This reduces strain during long rides compared to traditional round-profile bars.

Internal routing on the SL-70 Ergo is straightforward, but it does require feeding your housing through the bar before attaching your shifters. If you are comfortable with standard cable maintenance, it is manageable, though it may take a little extra patience compared to external routing.

The 70mm reach is considered 'short' by road standards, which brings the shifter hoods closer to the rider. This is ideal if you want a slightly more upright, relaxed position or if you are trying to shorten your reach without swapping out your stem.

Yes, the unidirectional carbon construction provides excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. While it is designed for all-day comfort, it is rigid enough to handle aggressive out-of-the-saddle efforts without feeling flexy.

A variable radius drop means the curve of the drop isn't a perfect circle; it tightens as it goes down. This allows you to find a comfortable hand position whether you prefer to ride high in the drops for cruising or deep in the hooks for sprinting.

This bar uses a standard 31.8mm clamp diameter, which is the industry standard for almost all modern road stems. As long as your current stem is 31.8mm, it will be compatible.
