For a particular reason, I've stocked some aluminum handlebars from ZIPP (a Japanese handlebar manufacturer).
The current model of ZIPP's aluminum handlebar is
called the Servizio Corso.
This shares the same meaning as
the Italian "Servizio Corsio" found on Veloflex tires and such,
and the French "Service Course" found on Michelin tubular tires.
The budget model is simply called Service Course,
the lightweight model is Service Course SL,
and there are two specifications: one with a nearly straight bar top
and an ergo version with back-sweep.
Additionally, whether non-ergo or ergo, the handlebar reach comes in
70mm and 80mm versions
(with 88mm also available for non-ergo specs only).
There's also a gravel-specific XPLR model
(probably read as "Explorer")
with 70mm reach and extremely flared drop bars.
The top-tier carbon handlebar comes in only a 70mm reach specification,
with two types of bar top shapes: an aerodynamic "Aero" shape
that can only be achieved in carbon,
and an "Ergo" with nearly the same shape as the aluminum bar ergo.
So, reading between the lines of what ZIPP is asserting,
I figured the answer was
"Ergo 70mm," and stocked the Service Course SL grade in 400mm.

↑The bar top looks like this
↑The reach and drop bar shape look like this
The suggested retail price including tax is ¥16,200.
For an aluminum bar, it's pretty pricey...
Oops, if I leave it here
it'll get caught up in the Tange hub return sale! (deadpan)
Also, a Rubino Pro tire happened to be in the shot,
but although we had it in stock at the time of photography, it's now sold out.
We're putting out the Deuter backpack and other items
from the second shipment.
Actually, the SL-70 Ergo
has also sold out in the time it took to write this post,
so if it's gone, I apologize,
but our distributor is out of stock, so special order immediate delivery isn't possible.
More importantly, this price we're showing now can never be offered again.
June 24 Update: Sold out. Thank you for your purchase.
