Description

Size Chart

The Zipp tubular disc is simply the lightest, most aerodynamically efficient wheel of its kind. The tubular disc was the original product built by Zipp way back in 1988 and it was at that time the lightest and fastest disc wheel available. Since that time it has been re-invented numerous times, each iteration getting lighter, faster and more aerodynamic. The latest round of technical innovations have taken a further 90g out of a wheel that is already one of the lightest and fastest in the business.

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.

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.
Carbon Bridge�
Carbon Bridge uses a Kevlar� thread in a co-axial helix stitch to bind sheets of carbon to each other in our tubular rims. Because Kevlar is 350% more impact resistant than carbon, it can disperse shock more evenly throughout the carbon laminate, making for a rim that is practically bulletproof. In particular, Carbon Bridge reduces the vulnerability of the rim's tire bed, the area most susceptible to damage from impact.

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.

At just over 950g for a cassette hubbed disc, the days of being concerned about weight are long since over. This disc is generally lighter than most aluminum rimmed "climbing" wheels and the low perimeter mass means that it accelerates very rapidly and maintains speed with ease. The Zipp hub system allows any disc to be either Shimano or Campagnolo compatible, either of them can be converted with a track axle kit for competition on the velodrome. The ultimate in adaptability.

Consider, a frontal area of only 19mm, patent pending ABLC dimpled surface technology combined with light weight and unsurpassed lateral stiffness result in a wheel that is without equal.
