SLC2 Bar
Sprinters love it. World championships medalist Katie Compton rode it throughout the 2008-9 cyclocross season. ITU triathletes use it with aero extensions like the VukaClip. The SLC2 satisfies even the most demanding riders with a massively stiff handlebar that's clip-on compatible and weighs just 190g (SS drops, 42cm o-o). To get there, we started out by keeping more than 60% of the bar width at the same 31.8mm diameter as the clamp area. Then we strategically redesigned the carbon laminate structure, adding strength around the clamp to handle clip-on extensions and stiffness to handle sprinting loads. Despite its stout characteristics, the SLC2 cuts no corners in terms of ride quality due to Zipp's vibration absorbing VCLC technology. The only Zipp drop bar designed for clip-on extensions, the SLC2 is the perfect complement to the VukaClip with your choice of VukaExtensions.
