Zipp’s Vuka Shift AXS 90 is a complete shifting system that integrates seamlessly into aero extensions. Zipp presents them as an extremely effective solution for housing the “brain” of your time trial or triathlon bike equipped with a SRAM RED or Force eTap AXS groupset.

The cockpit of a modern triathlon or time trial bike is becoming complex. The goal for many is to simplify and integrate components to make the most of modern technology and optimize aerodynamic efficiency. The aero extensions, derailleur control, and control module are all optimally grouped on the Vuka Shift AXS 90. This approach solves a new problem in the era of electronic derailleurs. The time for system integration has come with this harmonious solution. The extensions themselves adopt the pro-proven Vuka Evo shape with a 90mm rise. The Vuka Shift AXS 90 is compatible with over 90% of integrated aero handlebars currently on the market.

Vuka Shift AXS 90 Features:
AXS shifting system integrated into the aero handlebar.
An optimized aerodynamic cockpit for simplicity and efficiency.
390 grams.
410 mm length.
This length can be shortened by 10 mm at the front and 90 mm at the rear.
Pro-proven Evo extension shape with a 90mm rise.
Integrated Garmin/Wahoo/Bryton bike computer mount.
Sold with SRAM Clics shifter levers to be inserted at the end of the extensions and SRAM Clics shifter buttons for the handlebar to shift gears at the brake levers.
No more blip box needed.
Integrated rubber grip.
Price: €850

Zipp’s Vuka Aero redefines aero handlebar standards while remaining compatible with today’s aero bikes. The current redesigned Vuka Aero uses the same technological base as the original version, a benchmark in aerodynamics. The Vuka Aero is an integrated aero handlebar that offers the best possible adjustments: it can be used with any stem to allow you to find the ideal position on your bike. The SRAM eTap AXS Blip Box integrates perfectly into the center cover. This way, it doesn’t catch the wind or obstruct the cyclist’s field of vision for a clean and efficient cockpit. The center cover flattens the middle of the handlebar to achieve its MFN-proven wing shape. The Vuka Aero features a matte carbon finish adorned with a glossy black logo.

Vuka Aero Features
Best adjustments on the market: fore/aft position, width, height, and armrest angle.
Integrated carbon aero handlebar compatible with any 31.8 diameter stem.
SRAM eTap AXS Blip box mount integrated into the center cover.
Rapid Routing port positions have been optimized to facilitate brake cable installation.
Vuka Aero includes a handlebar, an extension clamp, and an armrest clamp.

No high-performance aerodynamic cockpit is complete without a good handlebar. The Vuka Alumina, made from 6066 aluminum, offers cutting-edge aerodynamic and ergonomic features at an affordable price. The Vuka Alumina handlebar was a major challenge for Zipp engineers: to create a high-performance aluminum handlebar that was elegant, lightweight, and allowed for additional adjustments. The Vuka Alumina handlebar is elegant thanks to its easy-to-use and perfectly clean internal cable routing system. The grips have been raised by 5 degrees for a more natural wrist position during climbs and sprints. The handlebar clamping area measures 120 mm wide to allow for multiple customizable adjustments depending on the rider’s practice and morphology. The Vuka Alumina is compatible with all current drivetrain systems and all insert brake levers. It is optimized for use with the Vuka Clip but remains compatible with most clip-on aero handlebars available on the market. The Vuka Alumina weighs only 250 grams for a width of 40 cm (center-to-center) and a clamp diameter of 31.8 mm. Its black shot-peened finish adorned with glossy graphics ensures that this handlebar is as refined in aesthetics as it is in performance.

Vuka Alumina Handlebar Features:
Offers cutting-edge aerodynamic and ergonomic features.
Internal cable routing for easy and clean installation.
Compatible with all current braking and drivetrain systems.

The perfectly set up bike must offer an ideal balance between impeccable aerodynamics and a comfortable and relaxed body position while optimizing steering control. The best bike fitters constantly devise new techniques to optimize and balance these goals. Developed in collaboration with the best bike fitters, Zipp’s Vuka Carbon extensions offer all the necessary solutions to optimize your position: Vuka Carbon Evo 70 and 110 extensions. Vuka Evo extensions reduce air resistance by allowing air to flow faster over the body while allowing the arms and wrists to be in a comfortable and relaxed position. The Evo shape, with a 20mm inward return and multi-directional bend, is available in carbon, allowing for even more complex profiling and lighter product weight.

Vuka Race Carbon extensions were designed based on feedback from top specialists who have spent thousands of hours fitting machines for amateur and professional cyclists and triathletes. The Vuka Race bend allows for a more natural wrist position to optimize the cyclist’s aerodynamics in a perfect “egg” position.

Vuka Extensions Features:
Compatible with Vuka Clip, Vuka Aero, and all 22.2 systems.
Internal cable routing.
Price: €178

Zipp has developed a complete range of aluminum aero extensions to ensure the best possible position on the bike, regardless of the rider’s morphology and preferences. Vuka Alumina extensions offer three different shapes to achieve this ideal position. The Vuka Alumina Race (175 g) has a 52 mm rise. The Vuka Race bend allows for a more natural wrist position to optimize the cyclist’s aerodynamics in a perfect “egg” position. Vuka Alumina Evo 70 and 110 extensions are both available with a 70 mm rise (176 g) or a 110 mm rise (180 g). Designed to allow for improved aerodynamics by positioning the hands as close to each other and as close to the rider’s head as possible so that air flows faster over the body. The shape of the Vuka Alumina Evo was designed to make the cyclist feel like they are shaking hands with their handlebars. This was made possible by a multi-directional bend of the handlebar with a 20 mm inward return that can be adjusted to fine-tune the position to the rider’s preferences.

Vuka Alumina Extensions Features:
Offers improved aerodynamic qualities.
Internal cable routing for easy and clean installation.
Perfect fit for all cyclists, regardless of their morphology and preferences.

The Vuka Clip was designed to provide optimized position, security, and adjustment for increased speed, efficiency, and aerodynamics during triathlons or time trials. Redesigned for easier installation and adjustment, the Vuka Clip is available with an above-bar or below-bar mounting system to achieve the best possible aerodynamic position. The Vuka Clip also features redesigned and widened armrests to reduce pressure points and improve comfort. It uses the industry standard clamp diameter of 22.2 mm for optimal compatibility with Vuka Alumina and Vuka Carbon extensions, as well as most extensions available on the market. The Vuka Clip includes Vuka Alumina Evo 110 extensions, Vuka Alumina Evo 70 extensions, Vuka Alumina Race extensions, Vuka Carbon Evo 110 extensions, Vuka Carbon Evo 70 extensions, Vuka Carbon Evo 110 extensions, and Vuka Carbon Race extensions. The Vuka Clip above-bar mount now offers angled armrest shims to find the correct arm position on the handlebar.

Vuka Clip Features:
Optimized position, security, and adjustment.
Above-bar or below-bar mounting system.
Compatible with most extensions.
Price: from €26 to €260
