Zipp Service Course Handlebar Black Review

This recent handlebar upgrade from Zipp is a complete letdown for any cycling enthusiast in Sports and Outdoors. Despite its sleek black appearance, the handlebar grip feels uncomfortable and awkwardly shaped making it tough to hold onto during long rides.The only positive aspect is the noticeable stability, but it`s not enough to compensate for the overall discomfort. Save your money AND opt for other brands in the market..

I bought these flat zip bars to convert my mountain bike to gravel riding. For this purpose it is ideal. The 6061 aluminum ensures a pleasantly smooth ride on gravel roads and hilly trails. It's a bit rough on steep, rocky descents, but much faster in all other situations, so the compromise is worth it for me. The oval part of the top fits very well in the hand. At $56, it's not a bad price, and it's on par with Richie bars.
