The Zipp Lenker SL 80 Race is a high-performance drop handlebar designed for demanding road cyclists who value control, comfort, and aerodynamic efficiency. With its compact reach and drop, it allows smooth transitions between hand positions, making it ideal for racing, fast group rides, and long training days. The bar’s shape is engineered to offer a natural wrist angle on the hoods and in the drops, helping reduce fatigue while maintaining a powerful, stable position on the bike. This makes it a great choice for riders who spend many hours in the saddle and want consistent handling in all conditions.
Built from lightweight, stiff materials typical of Zipp’s premium components, the Lenker SL 80 Race delivers precise steering response without feeling harsh. The tops are usually slightly flattened or ergonomically shaped to improve comfort when climbing or cruising, while the compact drop encourages confident use of the lower position for sprinting and descending. Internal or semi-internal cable routing options are commonly supported, helping create a clean, modern cockpit. Whether you are upgrading a race bike or refining your fit, this handlebar offers a refined blend of performance, ergonomics, and sleek aesthetics that complements any high-end road setup.
