Zipp's Service Course 70 Ergonomic Handlebar is a high-performance, precise fitting bar with a short, 70mm reach to the hoods to allow a proper fit without compromising stem length and steering control. A new variable radius drop, matching the carbon SL-70 Ergo, allows for multiple hand positions when riding in the drops. The ergonomic flat top, now with a 3 degree backsweep, ensures wrist comfort while the 10 degree ramp angle provides a perfect transition from bars to hoods.

I like to be stretched out a bit on my bike. That means a longer stem and maybe the seat pushed back a bit. This means I probably have too much weight on my hands so I'm include to ride with ergonomic handle bars and grips on my bicycles. This one sort of works, but the top isn't really very wide so I'm back resting on the hoods. The drop is pretty deep, so I don't spend too much time in the drops even when its called for. That all said, if you like a shorter cockpit that I do it will probably work for you.
I didnt want to go full on aero on the handlebars and wanted something that would make it more comfortable on the hands while climbing on the tops. This fit the bill and the drops are feel great as well.
Flat top makes it comfortable when climbing up hills. Hood positioning is good, but I would had preferred a lower ramp angle so that when transitioning to the hood is level. Otherwise, all other positioning if very good and the price was much lower than other similar bars.
