Tough as nails and light as a feather, the SL is the result of over 4 years of research and development and more than 40 revisions of the carbon laminate structure. It weighs a mere 170g (SS drops, 42cm o-o), but it's stiff enough to grunt over the steepest grades and smooth enough for all-day comfort, thanks to Zipp's VCLC vibration-damping technology included in all our bars. Features like 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 looks.

Our goal was to design the lightest drop bar available while still passing EFBe Laboratory's top performance racing standard. We achieved it with the SL.
