Zipp SL Handlebar
Details
Zipp brings new meaning to the word light with their SL Handlebar. Coming in at an outstanding 170 grams for the 42cm version, it sets the "bar" even higher for carbon fiber handlebars. Plus, it's amazingly stiff too, making it the ideal tool for throwing down blistering attacks on the most brutal of climbs and sprinting hard for the finish line.
Clamp diameter: 31.8mm
Weight: 170 grams (42cm)
Reach: 90mm (Ergo); 87.5mm (Traditional); 84.5mm (Short-Shallow)
Drop: 150mm (Ergo); 130mm (Traditional); 128mm (Short-Shallow)
Which Reach and Drop you prefer depends on your hand size, arm length and riding style. If you like what you're riding, simply match it as closely as possible. In general, deeper drops and longer reaches are appropriate for riders with long arms and large hands while narrow drops and short reaches fit smaller riders. Handlebar Width is related to shoulder width. Riders usually prefer a handlebar width equal to the measurement between their shoulder blades, or slightly wider if they climb a lot or ride fast and hard.
