Product Details

Overview & Technology

Zipp Service Course handlebar tape (Product #670207, MPN 00.1915.126.010) ships as two 1.9 meter rolls with the distinctive oval Z bar-end plugs. Designed for road drop bars, the tape balances low weight with dependable cushioning and a textured surface for consistent grip in varied conditions. The construction uses a closed-cell synthetic foam core with a durable micro-surface outer layer that resists sweat and road grime while offering predictable tack. This combination provides vibration damping on longer rides without adding bulk, making it ideal for riders who want comfort and control without sacrificing bar feel.

Key Features & Benefits

What stands out: • Two 1.9 m rolls — enough tape to wrap both sides of a standard road drop bar with plenty for overlap. • Oval Z bar-end plugs — secure finish and tidy cockpit integration with Zipp-branded plugs included. • Grippy synthetic surface — reliable traction in dry and damp conditions while staying easy to clean. • Lightweight closed-cell core — vibration damping for long rides, with minimal bulk for aero positioning. The tape’s finish wipes clean with a damp cloth and holds up to regular use, while the understated look complements any build. Available in Black, Red and White so you can match your bike or accent kit colorways.

Fit, Installation & Compatibility

Each roll measures 1.9 metres — long enough for most compact and standard drop bars when wrapped with normal overlap. The tape is compatible with all conventional drop-bar setups, brake/shift hood styles and bar-end accessories. It's identified by SRAM model ID: AC-SC-TAPE-A1. Installation is straightforward: start at the bar ends, overlap 10–20% depending on desired padding, secure near the stem with finishing tape, and push the included oval Z plugs into the bar ends for a neat finish. The low-profile thickness suits riders who use hoods, drops and aero positions without excessive hand height change.

Who It's For

The Zipp Service Course tape is aimed at road cyclists who want a dependable, budget-friendly tape that looks clean and performs day in and day out. It's a great match for club riders, commuters, and racers who prefer moderate cushioning and a grippy feel without heavy padding. If you ride a lot of miles and want a lightweight, low-bulk tape that still reduces road buzz, Service Course is a sensible, stylish choice. For riders seeking maximal plushness or specialized materials (leather, cork or super-tacky gels), consider other tapes; but for balanced performance and value, this is an excellent option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this tape fit my drop bars?

Yes — each roll is 1.9 m long and is suitable for most standard and compact road drop bars when wrapped with typical overlap. Very large-diameter bars or unusual wrap styles may use more tape, but the two-roll set is designed for the vast majority of road setups.

How do I clean and maintain the tape?

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap for routine cleaning. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive scrubbing which can degrade the outer surface. Replace the tape when it shows signs of permanent compression, tearing, or loss of grip.

What tools or materials do I need to install it?

You'll need scissors (or a sharp blade) to cut the tape and finishing tape to secure the wrap near the stem. Start at the bar ends, overlap consistently, and press the included oval Z bar-end plugs into the handlebars to finish. No special tools are required.

How cushioned is the Service Course tape?

The tape offers moderate cushioning — enough vibration damping for long rides without creating a bulky bar profile. Riders who want maximum plushness should consider thicker gel or multi-density tapes, but Service Course is optimized for a balance of comfort, control and low weight.

Does the tape come in other colors?

Yes — this model is available in Black, Red and White. Choose a color to match your bike or add a subtle accent to your cockpit.

Is the SRAM model ID important?

The SRAM model ID (AC-SC-TAPE-A1) helps identify the exact tape when ordering replacements or searching parts catalogs. It ensures you get the correct Zipp Service Course specification and accessories.

Buying Guide

When choosing handlebar tape, consider three factors: thickness (cushioning), surface texture (grip) and durability. Thinner tapes like the Zipp Service Course give better bar feel and lower stack height, while thicker or gel tapes increase comfort for rough roads. Think about your riding style — racers and riders who use hoods and drops often prefer lower-profile tape, while endurance riders may opt for more padding. Also match the tape color and material to your bike and maintenance habits. Synthetic tapes are easy to clean and hold up well in wet conditions, making them a good all-round choice. If you frequently ride in rain or prioritize longevity, choose a tape with a durable micro-surface and replace it when compression or wear reduces grip.
