Zipp 101 Black Wheelset

CALL

The 101's centerpiece is the first fully toroidal aluminum rim, developed in the wind tunnel with a proprietary profile curve extending across the braking surfaces. With this patented design, the 30mm-deep 101 can exceed the aerodynamic performance of V-shaped rims with much deeper aero profiles. And no shallow-profile design comes close to the 101 in the wind tunnel or on the road, where the 101 can save up to 42 seconds over 40km compared to the industry's benchmark aluminum wheelset.

Creating the 101 required developing new technologies to conduct wind tunnel testing using structural prototypes with fully inflated clincher tires. This makes the resulting test data more accurate and realistic than ever before. After our engineers honed in on the fastest shape, the manufacturing process required its own set of innovations for rolling, welding, and machining the 101's precisely curved toroidal profile.

With a maximum width of 23.75mm to complement most common tire sizes, the bulged profile of the 101 smoothes airflow around the wheel more effectively than typical, narrow rim designs. The 101's wide platform also resists pinch flatting, improves lateral stiffness, and provides stable handling without tire "squirm" on rough surfaces.

Because the rim is narrower at the hook bead than in the middle, the 101 can be used safely with tires as narrow as 21mm, unlike other wide-profile clincher rims. The maximum recommended tire width for the 101 is 35mm.

The 101's rims are precision machined in Indianapolis, Indiana. The 101 is laced with 18 front and 20 rear Sapim CX-Ray spokes and Zipp's 88 and 188 hubs with Swiss steel bearings. The hubs are manufactured in Indiana using the proprietary Z310.9 alloy, and feature oversize 17mm axles and adjustable bearing preload.

The 101 weighs 1523 grams per wheelset. It is available in 700c clincher only.

Zipp 202 Wheelset

CALL

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.
Zipp spec'd the 202 with They're 88/188 hubset and external spoke nipples for easier service with no aero penalty. Zipp's VCLC and Carbon Bridge technologies ensure that the 202's ride is comfortable, smooth, and rock-solid.

Zipp 303 FireCrest Carbon Clincher Wheelset

CALL

The Zipp 303 is perhaps the most versatile wheelset in the Zipp line. The light and aero 303 is well suited to hilly road races and smaller riders looking for control in windy events. New for 2012 the 303 is available in a Fire Crest Full Carbon Clincher!

Zipp 303 Tubular Wheelset

CALL

The Zipp 303 is perhaps the most versatile wheelset in the Zipp line. The light and aero 303 is well suited to hilly road races and smaller riders looking for control in windy events.

Zipp 303 Clincher (Alloy Braking Surface)

CALL

The Zipp 303 is perhaps the most versatile wheelset in the Zipp line. The light and aero 303 is well suited to hilly road races and smaller riders looking for control in windy events.
Climbing, descending, sprinting, crosswinds, rough roads, and anything else you might encounter on a ride are no sweat for the 303 Clincher. This wheelset has it all: the convenience and braking performance of an aluminum clincher rim, the durability and comfort of M2CM and VCLC technologies, and the versatility of the 44mm rim depth. When conditions are unpredictable, the 303 Clincher wheelset is a sure thing.

Zipp 404 Tubular Wheelset

CALL

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.
The current version of the 404 is faster than ever with the third generation of our patented ABLC dimpling pattern and a fully toroidal rim shape derived from over 100 hours of wind tunnel testing. The toroidal profile also offers the benefits of added stiffness, due to a slight widening of the rim, and better braking with an angled brake track. Like all our tubular rims, the 404 is built with our Carbon Bridge technology that dramatically increases impact resistance with a Kevlar thread running perpendicular to the carbon laminate. Between those layers of carbon lies our VCLC system, which uses a shock-absorbing material to reduce vibration by 10% and keep your wheels glued to the pavement under all conditions.

Zipp 404 Clincher Wheelset

CALL

The clincher version of the 404 utilizes the same go-anywhere, win-anything 58mm rim depth of the tubular model but offers the everyday convenience of clincher tires and the reliability of an aluminum brake track. For greater strength and reliability, Zipp's M2CM technology fuses the aluminum hoop to the inner carbon section during the molding process. Still, the 404 clincher’s 1658g total weight is less than many full-carbon clinchers. Of course, none of those other wheels offer Zipp’s exclusive features like ABLC dimples, VCLC vibration-reduction technologies, and the smooth, stiff, durable 88/188 hubset.

Zipp 808 Tubular Wheelset

CALL

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.
With a fully toroidal 81mm rim profile and Zipp's exclusive ALBC dimples, the 808 is both more aerodynamic than a three-spoke and more stable in crosswinds. Whether your elbows are resting on the aero bars or banging with another sprinter, the 808 provides the speed you need to win.

Zipp 1080 Wheelset

CALL

The 1080 is the fastest non-disc in the world, yet it handles crosswinds with ease. Unleashed in a race against the clock, the 1080 knows no limits.
This new profile, which we’ve since applied to the 808 and other wheels in our line, makes the 1080 nearly 30 seconds faster over 40km than a three-spoke wheel but generates no additional side force in a crosswind. Plus, with our Carbon Bridge technology for impact resistance and external spoke nipples for serviceability, the 1080 Tubular gives you pure speed without a hint of delicacy.

Zipp 900 Rear Disc Wheel

CALL

This stalwart of Zipp's line is available in a myriad of configurations and is still the disc of choice for many of our top time trialist, track racers, and triathletes.
Although it doesn’t quite match the aero performance of the Super-9 and Sub-9, the Zipp 900 disc was still fast enough to be the choice of Cervélo TestTeam for the 2009 Tour de France and for Kristin Armstrong’s victory in the 2008 Olympic time trial. At just 936g with a cassette hub, the 900 is more than light enough for the hilliest triathlon or time trial courses. Swap the road setup for a track configuation, and the same wheel is ready for action at the highest levels of the sport. Now that's versatility.

Zipp Sub 9 Rear Disc Wheel

CALL

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.
In the center of the aero "sweet spot" – a wind angle of 12 to 18 degrees – the Zipp Sub-9 was the first wheel ever to produce forward lift. To achieve this feat, Zipp added a toroidal bulge similar to our 1080 and 808 spoked wheels around the edge of the disc to control airflow at the wheel’s leading and trailing edges. In addition to improving aero performance, the bulge’s vertical compliance keeps the Sub-9 glued to the road when cornering and yields a comfortable ride. This makes it the ideal choice for long-course triathletes to bounce out of T2 with fresh legs after a blistering bike split.

Zipp Super 9 Rear Disc Wheel

CALL

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.
