Engineered for riders who demand both stiffness and weight savings, the Zipp SL Speed stem combines aerospace-grade unidirectional carbon with race-proven hardware.

  • Secure clamping: Aluminum faceplate with titanium Torx T25 bolts ensures precise torque (6° +/- adjustability)
  • Clean integration: 31.8mm bar clamp fits modern handlebars without bulky adapters
  • Proven aerodynamics: Low 41mm stack height maintains clean airflow over the headtube
