Zipp Introduces Service Course SL 70 XPLR and Service Course 70 XPLR

Zipp (United States) - Press Release: All roads point to the need for greater comfort and control.

Zipp’s answer—true to our fit-first philosophy for handlebar design—is an innovative new all-road bar available in two alloy models, the Service Course SL 70 XPLR and Service Cours70 XPLR. The bar’s moniker, XPLR, exemplifies the desire to explore the world with an expanded definition of cycling on a drop bar bicycle… from paved roads onto gravel, mud, dirt, and even single track.

The Service Course 70 XPLR and lighter Service Course SL 70 XPLR help you go faster by placing your body, starting with your hands, in an optimal “comfort zone” position for hours of rough riding over mixed terrain. Today’s riders demand a few things out of their cockpit, whether they are doing a two hour training ride from home or a 200+-mile gravel adventure: comfort, control, and the ability to carry what they need. We met these needs by creating a bar with shallow and wide drops, specifically focusing on two crucial metrics—outsweep and flare.

On a modern all-road bike a highly flared bar causes the brake hoods to be laid over toward their sides, creating ergonomic issues when riding on the brake hoods. Zipp’s design team sought to develop a new-generation all-road bar for the hoods-dominant position favored by riders today, with the drops optimized for control in high-speed gnarly situations when the hammer drops.

After extensive research and testing, our design team pinpointed a drop design with an ideal 5° flare and 11° outsweep. The bar’s drop shape features our popular 70mm reach, but the drop is a shallower 115mm. This achieves modern fit ideals for all road bikes with the drops a little higher and wider than on a pavement only setup.
