We like the looks of big, round, sweeping drops, but the current state of hoods (read: long) mean that those glorious round bars aren't always practical anymore. The relatively shorter reach on Zipp's Service Course SL-70 Ergo Handlebar accommodates today's longer hoods without forcing you onto a short stem. Compared to the standard model, the tops are also slightly flattened, so you have a more comfortable perch while you're just cruising and have the luxury of staying out of the drops. When you do have to get serious, Zipp's variable radius drop creates several points of contact, ensuring a confident grip that doesn't sacrifice comfort.
