The Zipp SL 80 Race is a carbon drop handlebar for road riding, with an 80 mm reach and a 125 mm drop that puts the rider low and forward. The 80 in the name refers to that reach figure rather than a drop shape. A wing profile across the tops flattens the leading edge to cut frontal area and give a steadier hand position on climbs.
The drops carry 5 degrees of flare and 8 degrees of outsweep, which widens the drops relative to the hoods and opens the wrists when riding low. Cables and hoses route internally, and the tops are marked with locators for SRAM Wireless Blips. Zipp clamps the bar at 31.8 mm and states that it is not intended for gravel use.
