Description

Zipp SL-80 Race Drop Handlebar – Precision Meets Performance

Elevate your ride with the Zipp SL-80 Race Drop Handlebar, the ultimate choice for competitive cyclists seeking the perfect balance of ergonomic comfort, aerodynamic performance, and seamless component integration. Crafted from premium unidirectional carbon, this high-performance handlebar is purpose-built to complement the SRAM RED AXS groupset and meet the demands of modern road racing.

Ergonomic Design Meets Aerodynamic Efficiency
The SL-80 Race features an advanced aero wing-shaped top section that minimizes drag while offering a stable, comfortable hand position for long climbs and endurance efforts. A subtle downward sweep in the tops keeps your hands relaxed, improving control and reducing fatigue on extended rides.

Integrated Innovation for a Clean Cockpit
Engineered specifically for use with SRAM RED AXS, the SL-80 Race includes an overhang to discreetly cover the brake hose as it exits the hood. This creates a seamless platform between bar and lever—providing a stable perch when riding on the hoods. The handlebar also features clearly marked locators for easy placement of SRAM Wireless Blips, ensuring optimal integration without guesswork.

Optimized for Racing Performance
With an 80mm reach and a 125mm drop, the SL-80 Race provides a compact, race-ready position. A 5° drop flare and 8° outsweep enhance control and confidence when riding aggressively in the drops, while allowing for easy brake lever access without compromising aerodynamics.

Grip and Control—Right Where You Need It
Unlike many traditional aero bars, the SL-80 Race includes a heat-shrink grip system, delivering a clean aesthetic and a no-slip surface. This design conceals brake hoses and Blips while providing consistent, secure handling—especially on untaped top sections.
