A minimalist bar for climbers and smaller riders, the Zipp® SL Bar is the result of more than four years of research and development and more than 40 revisions to the carbon layer structure. It weighs just 170g (Short & Shallow Drop, 44cm), but it's stiff enough to grunt over the steepest and smooth enough for all-day comfort thanks to Zipp's VCLC™ vibration-damping technology included in all of our bars. Features such as dual cable routing grooves and a gradual taper from 31.8mm at the clamp to 24.2mm at the bends contribute to the SL's classic look.
Our goal was to design the lightest drop bar while still passing EFBe lab's top performance racing standard. We were able to do it with the SL.
