Details
Comfort, ergonomics, stiffness and aerodynamics are the essential elements of Zipp's amazing Contour SL Handlebar, and every millimeter of this feathery-light 190-gram carbon bar is designed for complete control, all-day comfort and an awesome ride. The airfoil top cheats the wind for free speed, elegantly hides the cables and fits your hands perfectly. Ditto for the oval hook portions and the angled-outward drops that provide superior comfort and ergonomics. And, the SL is plenty stiff to win the sprint after you've been in the break all day. Plus, it feels great mile after mile thanks to Zipp's vibration-damping VCLC technology.
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.
