Zipp Vuka Clip-on aerbars

Zipp Vuka Clip with Alumina Evo Extensions | $162

Rating: ★ ★ ★ | Weight: 471g

Basics

The Vision Team Mini Clip-on bar is aimed at those wanting to add an aero position option to their road bike or for those who are competing in draft-legal racing. The simple design has changed very little in more than a decade. The latest iteration features 170mm aluminum extensions and includes enhancements to both the brackets and armrest pads for increased comfort and reduced drag.

Pros

  • Perfect choice for road bikes and hilly courses
  • Low-profile forearm rests with molded pads are surprisingly comfortable
  • ITU-legal for draft-legal races

Cons

  • Limited adjustability, especially with aero bridge installed
  • Narrow design limits ability to mount computer or hydration
  • Fixed-length extensions make these bars primarily for very specific use cases
