Zipp - Speed Weaponry | Wheels

101
- Incorporating all that we've learned in 21 years of working with carbon fiber, the 101 is the first aluminum wheelset to utilize Zipp's cutting-edge aero technologies.
  101 Clincher
202
- The first climbing wheelset developed in the wind tunnel, the 202 practically floats up the toughest ascents, but it's tough enough and stiff enough for cobbles and crits.
  202 Tubular
303
- Perhaps the most versatile wheelset in our line, the light and aero 303 is well suited to hilly road races and smaller riders looking for control in windy events.

404

Never count out the 404. Our most popular wheel has carried cyclists and triathletes to victory from the Alps to Kona, and the 2009 version is faster than ever before.

808
- The 808 is a proven winner in triathlons and time trials, and an up-and-comer in road racing worldwide. The 2009 model sports a faster, stiffer rim shape.

Sub-9
- As the world's first wheel capable of generating forward lift, the Sub-9 is a giant leap forward in the science of cycling aerodynamics. Believe the hype.

Super-9
- Intended for time trials, track racing, and the occasional Tour de France prologue, the Super-9 is stiffer than our 900 disc and matches the Sub-9's remarkable ability to generate forward lift

Hubs
- Every bit of Zipp's considerable expertise is brought to bear in our 88/188 hubs, making them the ultimate choice for lightness, stiffness, and durability.

Rims

Every one of our rims is developed in the wind tunnel and tested to the limit. They're the world's fastest, and they're the heart and soul of what we do at Zipp.

ALTERNATE VIEWS

900 Clincher

Rather than post-bonding a rim around a flat or lenticular disc, we've incorporated our patented toroidal rim shape and used our proprietary M2CM technology to increase strength while reducing drag around the interface of aluminum and carbon. For long course triathletes, the bulged cross-section offers a comfortable vertical compliance that can reduce fatigue during long stretches in the saddle.

Using the PowerTap version of the 900 clincher, Jordan Rapp posted the fastest bike split at Wildflower and a win at Ironman Canada in 2009.

With the ease of clinchers and optimal aerodynamics for tires up to 23mm, the 900 Clincher is the perfect choice on less-than-perfect road surfaces.

with Powertap	1369g

Aero Width	24.85mm
Max Tire Pressure	125psi

ABLC™ (Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control)

Advanced Boundary Layer Control (ABLC) refers to the patented and instantly recognizable dimpled pattern found on most of our rims. ABLC smoothes airflow across the rim's surface and is tailored to every model from the 202 to the Sub9 disc. 2009 sees the third-generation of ABLC, with up to 4 times more dimples than before. Read More

VCLC™ (Visco-Elastic Constrained Layer Control)

Visco-Elastic Constrained Layer Control (VCLC) uses a vibration-absorbing material sandwiched between layers of rigid carbon laminate in the rim. When the wheel receives an impact from the road, much of the shock is absorbed by the VCLC system, delivering a 10% reduction in vibration. Read More

M2CM™ (Multi-Material Co-Molding)

Multi-Material Co-Molding (M2CM)ensures that Zipp clincher rims are the world's strongest. The process permanently fuses a sub-200 gram aluminum hoop to a carbon structure with the same dimpling as our tubular rims and our patented toroidal bulge, which acts as a leaf spring to reinforce the aluminum during impacts. The spokes lace directly to the carbon body for a fully structural rim that blends the ride feel of carbon with the braking performance of aluminum. Read More

88/188 Hub Technology

Every aspect of our 88 and 188 hubs sets a new benchmark. The standard steel bearings are the roundest in the industry. The 17mm axle is the stiffest of any road hub we've tested. The wire EDM-cut hub internals are the most precise. The SHIFT spoke hole technolgoy is the most durable. When it comes to precision and performance, there's really no comparison. Read More
