Tested in Kona and proven at the Tour de France, the new VukaR2C aero shifter is a milestone in our efforts to develop cockpit components that combine high-performance aerodynamics with superior ergonomics.

Once you position the lever at the natural angle for your hand position, the VukaR2C’s return-to-center actuation resets the lever to its original angle after every shift, keeping you as low and as comfortable as possible.

Weighing just 180 grams per pair, the VukaR2C is also the first plug-in shifter designed with an aerodynamic profile that saves up to 6 seconds over 40km compared to a standard lever.

The VukaR2C is a plug-in shifter compatible with Shimano/SRAM 10 speed only. The VukaR2C fits most aero bar extensions, but is optimized for use with a new version of Zipp’s VukaShift extensions, which will be available in mid- February 2010.

Weight: 180g
Mechanism: Return to Center (R2C)

Guidelines For Cutting The Extensions

The extensions are marked on the underside in 1cm increments with half centimeter increments shown with smaller lines. A minimum of 3cm of extension must be inserted into the VukaBullet body to avoid damaging the extensions. This means that a minimum of 6 marks (3 large and 3 small) must be inserted into the bar after the bars are cut to length.

If more than 4cm of extension need to be removed, we recommend removing in 2-3cm increments to avoid overcutting of the extensions.

The extension should be wrapped in masking tape at the point where it will be cut and cut with a composite or FRP specific hacksaw blade. The masking tape will help ensure that the cut is clean and no jagged fibers lift off of the part.

Warning – do NOT cut anything from the front end of these Shifters.
