Zipp water bottles
These are Specialized® Purist bottles with WaterGate tops for easy non-spill drinking. Large screw-cap design is leak-free and large enough for ice cubes or powder drink mix. Three stylish new choices:

• The yellow bottle has a retro design that takes you back to where Zipp got its start: the disc. 22 oz.
• The clear gray bottle features the Zipp and oval “Z” logos. 22 or 26 oz. sizes.
• The red Firecrest® bottle touts Zipp’s revolutionary line of wheels. 22 oz.

MSRP: $11

Carbon fiber bottle cages
Every bottle needs a secure-yet-light place to call home. This 21 gram full-carbon cage fits standard bottles. Available in black (carbon), white, red, or silver.
MSRP: $60

Butyl Road Inner Tube, Integrated Valve Extenders and Tangente Valve Wrench Set

• The Zipp® Tangente butyl road inner tube with a removable core is designed to improve rotational stability by decreasing rotational mass at the valve body.

• The Tangente Valve Extender Wrench Set required for installation along with a handy wrench set.

MSRP: $10 for tube, $9 each for extender, $7 for wrench set

Tangente Tubular and Clincher Tires

Bar tape

• Zipp’s Service Course handlebar tape gives your bike’s cockpit a fresh look and added flair. The red, black or white padded tape comes with two rolls with oval “Z” bar-end plugs. The tape is embossed with "Service Course." MSRP: $22
