The Zipp Vuka Bull base bar is the ideal starting point for triathletes and time trial specialists who want a cutting-edge aerodynamic cockpit. It features multiple innovations allowing for numerous adjustments for ultimate speed. For optimal aerodynamic performance and to save watts, the Vuka Bull Carbon is based on the Zipp SL-70 Aero bar, which has a wing shape.

Its design is also based on feedback from bike fit specialists, so that athletes can maintain an optimal aerodynamic position over time. The Vuka Bull base bar is designed to be wide enough to help control the bike better in corners and climb comfortably, but narrow enough not to “slow down” when your hands are positioned on the extensions in search of speed. The clamping area is wide enough to allow a wide choice of armrest positions with the Zipp Vuka Clip.

The Vuka Bull features a reversible design that offers a high or low mount, allowing you to position your hands where you want them. This available high position allows athletes to keep the base bar as low as possible while still being able to position the armrests and extensions higher and thus where they need to be. In addition, a slightly higher hand position can help athletes climb steeper slopes. The Vuka Bull is designed with Zipp Rapid Route technology, allowing internal routing of shift and brake cables through the stem clamp area, making it compatible with modern integrated cockpit systems.
