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 singletrack. The Service Course SL 70 XPLR helps 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. Zipp met these needs by creating a bar with shallow and wide drops, specifically focusing on two crucial metrics, outsweep and flare. Outsweep is created by rotating the drop below the brake perch outward. Flare is created by rotating the entire drop above the brake perch outward.Features: Material: AL7050 Aluminium Finish: Matte Use: Road, Gravel Clamp Diameter: 31.8mm Bend: Reach: 70mm; Drop: 115mm Backsweep: 3 degrees Ramp Angle: 10 degrees Outsweep: 11 degrees Weight: 260gTechnologies: Distinctive Zipp cosmetics. 70mm Reach and 115mm drop allow a comfortable hoods position and a shallow drops postion. 5° drop Flare and 11° drop outsweep creates a drops position 6cm wider than hoods.
