Our Zipps are legit!

Caution: This past few years we have seen a proliferation of illegit' Zipp wheels sold in the U.S. to unsuspecting customers. As these wheels were coded with Zipp's mark as "not fit for resale" they were unserviceable and not covered under warranty. Be assured, ALL of our Zipp wheels are 100% direct from Zipp U.S.A. and certified "A" quality, completely covered by Zipp's warranty.

Included: All our Zipp wheels include top quality Zipp quick release skewers. Wheels with carbon braking surfaces also include a full set of Zipp cork brake pads.

Tour de France ~

Team CSC used ZIPP carbon wheels throughout the Tour de France on every stage under every condition of terrain and weather from the flat sprinters stages to the highest mountains and the time trials. With a mix of 303, 404, 808, and 909's the team had the ability to choose the type of wheel best suited to the day and the individual needs to each rider.

Zipp Exclusives ~

***Firecrest - Introduced in mid-2010 on the 404 wheels and added to the 808 wheels in 2011, wind tunnel tested Firecrest rims maintain their full width all the way from the tire to the spoke bed. This new design reduces turbulence at the wheel's leading edge. Additionally, with the center of pressure now moved closer to the steering axis the handling of the wheel is also noticeably improved.   Firecrest Video

VcLc - (visco-elastic constrained layer control), and exclusive to Zipp VcLc technology reduces road vibration and muscle fatigue up to 10% so you can ride faster and longer.

M2CM - Unlike other makes, Zipp aluminum rims are not merely bonded to their carbon bases. Zipp rims go through an exclusive co-molding process that actually joins the aluminum and carbon into a single unified composite. M2CM produces remarkable wheels that are verifiably more durable than ever.

Zipp Pro hubs - Made in the USA, the 202gr rear and 84gr front hubs are truly state-of-the-art. Using a custom Swiss-type watch lathe from Citizen, the hub shell and axle are precision machined from proprietary heat treated 7075 aluminum. Advances in bearing technology allow a 20% decrease in weight while bearing contact area is increased 50% over previous models. The bearings are manufactured in ultra-precision matched sets to a tolerance of less than 10 millionths of an inch in size and sphericity. Each bearing set is fitted with a custom Teflon thermoplastic self-lubricating retainer that significantly reduces friction over steel or brass retainers used in other cartridge type bearings.

Zipp Quick Releases Skewers ~    Now included with each Zipp wheelset!

These are ultra light and strong skewers that really work! Available with stainless steel shafts at 84 grams per pair or titanium shafts at just 62 grams per pair! The levers and nuts are polished black on the stainless set and titanium gray on the Ti set. Logos are laser-etched. Length of rear is 130mm to fit all road wheels; it's not long enough for most mountain bike wheels. For additional sets:  Skewers

Zipp 808 Firecrest Extra Deep-V ~

New all-carbon "Firecrest" rim shape for decreased turbulence and increased steering control

Now fully carbon in both the clincher and tubular versions!!! By removing the outer aluminum band the clincher wheels compete very favorably with the tubular version in both weight and ride. The tubulars are still a bit lighter, smoother, and more comfortable, but the difference has been narrowed very significantly!

The extra deep 808 wheelset is at least 24 seconds faster for a 40K level route than any other non-disc wheelset on the planet other than the 1080s! Faster, lighter, and more controllable than any 3-spoke wheelset ever made, the 808s are a devastatingly fast set of wheels for time trial or triathlon regardless of wind conditions! Its new Firecrest rim shape and Zipp-exclusive dimple surface make it nearly invisible to the wind. Color is 2012 black on black. Size is 700c.

If you are serious about your racing, you must check out the Zipp 404 wheelsets. Not only are these very light overall, they are especially light in the outer rim section where weight matters most. And, they are among the most aerodynamic wheelsets ever tested. We've had 404 wheels out on the race circuit for over 10 years and they've proven themselves tough and dependable. For road racing, criteriums, and triathlons, definitely consider these beautiful wheels. Available with Campagnolo (9-10-11 speed) or Shimano (8-9-10 speed) compatible cassette bodies.

New for 2012!

Zipp 303 Firecrest Mid -V ~      Best all-purpose Zipp wheelset and in stock now!

Now fully carbon in both the clincher and tubular versions! By removing the outer aluminum band the clincher wheels compete very favorably with the tubular version in both weight and ride. The tubulars are still a bit lighter, smoother, and more comfortable, but the difference has been narrowed very significantly!

For 2012, Zipp has extended the advanced shaping of their hugely successful 808 and 404 Firecrest wheels to their most all-purpose wheelset, the 303. These new wheels are actually faster than their deeper dish 404 Toroidal cousins, yet lighter, more stable, and even more secure in crosswinds. This is a serious do-it-all wheelset light enough to be an asset on climbs, fast enough to cheat the wind, and durable enough for everyday training. Both the clincher and tubular versions are all-carbon, meaning none of the added rotating weight of aluminum on the outside edges. ABLC dimpling ensures the fastest aerodynamics available today in a medium profile rim. Available with Campagnolo (9-10-11 speed) or Shimano (8-9-10 speed) compatible cassette bodies. Color is 2012 black on black. Weight is 1198 grams per pair in tubular ($2299.99) and 1498 grams per pair in clincher ($2699.99) ....  Add to CART

Zipp 101 ~

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.

The 101 is built by hand in Speedway, Indiana, with the same components as Zipp's top-of-the-line carbon wheelsets. 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. Weight is 1527 grams per wheelset. Available in 700c clincher only with Campagnolo (9-10-11 speed) or Shimano (8-9-10 speed) compatible cassette bodies. Color is 2012 Falcon gray .... $1299.99 pair    Add to CART

 

Zipp Disc Wheels ~

Zipp Super-9 Disc ~     995 grams!

The Super-9 is an extra stiff version of the revolutionary Sub-9. It's 15% stiffer than a Sub-9 and a whopping 40% stiffer than the 900 disc. The tire bed is a couple millimeters wider than a Sub-9 so it nicely fits 21-23mm tires. Like the Sub-9, the Super-9 actually generates forward lift as it rotates. Weight is a mere 995 grams! Accepts 700c tubular (glue-on) tires only.  With Campagnolo or Shimano cassette body ....  $2069.99   Add to CART

 

Zipp Sub-9 Disc ~

Just 998 grams!

Using the most difficult wind tunnel testing protocol, the Sub-9 disc shattered every drag record in cycling with a negative-80 gram drag reading at 15o. Instead of creating drag, this wheel actually generates lift relative to the wind direction, just like an America's Cup boat tacking into the wind! The result is blistering speed without sacrificing stiffness or durability. Even better, you actually get more comfort and road control because the wind-teaming toroidal bulge also functions like a leaf spring to soak up bumps and other road imperfections. The Sub-9 disc improves impact resistance by 25% over the already legendary Zipp 900 disc. Available in 700c road tubular only. Select Campagnolo or Shimano cassette body to match your drivetrain .... $2069.99    Add to CART   

 

Zipp 900 and 840 Disc ~

Zipp discs are a marvel of technology. Manufactured completely flat and only 19mm in total cross section for the smallest frontal section out there. The carbon skins are cured over a honeycomb core to guarantee maximum airflow over the disc surface and greatly cut air turbulence around the vital drivetrain area. The brand new and patented ABLC technology, with 4900 dimples per disc, reduces drag to the lowest level ever.

The Zipp 900 disc fits 700c tires and is available in tubular (glue-on) or clincher versions. The 650c (26") version, called an 840, is available in tubular only.
