Light weight, comfort, and strength: the new Zipp SL-70 Ergo is the ultimate handlebar for long days in the saddle.
The SL-70 Ergo combines the flat bar top shape of the beloved Contour SL bar with numerous modern features sought after by riders and pro bike fitters. The SL-70 Ergo sports a 70mm reach and 128 drop. The short 70mm reach has been a popular choice in recent years, as it allows bike fitters flexibility in achieving a comfortable position without sacrificing steering control.
The drop utilizes a variable radius, allowing for multiple hand positions and deeper movement into the drop. As a result, reach to the brake lever is shorter. A 3° backsweep on the flat tops keeps the wrist in a comfortable position, essential for long days on pavement or gravel, while the 10° ramp angle provides a smooth transition to modern shifter hoods. Brake and shifter housing is elegantly hidden along the underside of the bar.

I bought these Zipp bars to replace some alloy bars that came on my bike. The Zipps have a comfortable bend, and ample flat space on top for comfort and a bit of aero gain. Most importantly to me, they manage to cut down on road buzz while still being plenty stiff. I�m not a racer, but I don�t like feeling any flex in my bars, and these do a great job of adding both performance and comfort. I caught a good sale, and at ~$260 I�d be hard pressed to find a better combination of performance and value.
This handlebar was an upgrade to the standard handlebar on my new BMC ALR One. It was 5oz lighter and gives a more comfortable ride. In addition, I like the ergo shape of it with a bit of "aero" thrown in on the top of the bar. The top of the bar is a flat aero shape and is also swept back a bit for comfort. This is my first experience with carbon bars and they seem very strong too. So far so good!
Put these on my Hakka MX to replace a set of alloy bars. You could probably argue about the benefits of carbon (vibration damping I guess? and shaved a few grams), but they are hands down a far more comfortable bar than my previous. In every position these feel great. The tops are incredibly well designed for my hands. The reach and drop are exactly what I was looking for. Wish I would have bought these a long time ago.
