WHERE SOLUTIONS COME FROM Good product design is about identifying problems and solving them. In our new, expanded facility in Indianapolis, Zipp® engineers have more room than ever to come up with innovative solutions like the exclusive machining technique for the 101’s curved aero braking surfaces, or the new heat-resistant resin technology in our Carbon Clinchers. | The new building also ensures that engineering, design, testing, and manufacturing will stay under one roof as we continue to grow. Doing everything in-house isn’t easy or cheap. But there’s no better way to shorten product development cycles, maintain stringent quality control, and stay focused on creating the world’s fastest wheels and components.

The width of the Firecrest profile helps air flow smoothly and evenly around the rim at all points around the wheel.
The wind tunnel is where we develop new products and evaluate fresh ideas. A single trip can involve more than 40 prototypes and over 100 tests at every wind angle a rider might encounter.
Updating the previous 808 Tubular with the new Firecrest shape can save 5 watts at racing speeds.
TESTING ASK BETTER QUESTIONS, GET BETTER ANSWERS. The technology in Zipp® wheels wouldn’t be possible without the technology in the Zipp test lab.

It can simulate long, technical descents in wet, dry, hot, and cold weather conditions, and even measures the vibrations that a rider would feel through the shift levers and frame. 8
Using more dirt, sand, soot, water, and oil than you’ll ever encounter on the road, we’re developing and testing new ways to protect the bearings and cassette body internals of Zipp hubs without adding friction.
WHEELS
FASTER THAN THE SUM OF THEIR PARTS The fastest riders make the most of their strength by studying the course and scripting every effort ahead of time. The fastest wheels turn technology into performance by designing every component to work in unison. | At ZippŽ, we believe that systems work best when individual parts are developed in the context of the whole. This philosophy leads to features like rims designed to protect your tires and hubs with spoke holes drilled at varying angles depending on rim depth. Combining all those details results in wheels that are perfectly matched to the bikes you ride, the courses you confront, and the goals you’ll achieve.

101
SHAPE IS EVERYTHING. The 101 is a legitimate high-performance wheelset. Its wind-tunnel-developed, 30mm-deep rim shape is faster than many deeper V-shaped rims and can save up to 42 seconds over 40km compared to the industry’s benchmark aluminum wheelset. | The centerpiece 350

ALWAYS THINK AHEAD. Truly great climbers need more than a spectacular power-to-weight ratio. They have to be aware of every pedal stroke between the start line and the base of the final ascent. By conserving energy on the flats, descending with confidence, and making the most of every acceleration, great climbers can eliminate the merely good – as Andy Schleck and Alberto Contador did on the Col de la Madeleine. | And so it is with wheels. That’s why the ultralight Zipp® 202 also provides advanced aerodynamics, stable handling, and efficient power transfer. | Even at 1095 grams, the 202 is stiff enough to respond instantly when the attacks come. Its 32mm-deep, fully toroidal rim profile with ABLC™ dimples can match the aero performance of heavier, less nimble V-shaped rims up to 50mm-deep. Stock 202s have even finished twice in the top four at Paris-Roubaix. | Like all great climbers, the 202 knows that the race to the summit starts long before the climb itself.

1080 UNADULTERATED AERODYNAMICS Shallower wheels like the 202 and 303 have proven that optimizing the shape of the rim can yield greater aerodynamic gains than simply increasing its depth. But what happens when you combine a sophisticated rim shape with an ultra-deep 108mm profile? You get the phenomenal aero performance of the Zipp® 1080. | When aerodynamics matter above all else, athletes like 70.3 star Terenzo Bozzone and world time trial champion Fabian Cancellara pair the 1080 front wheel with a Sub-9 or Super-9 disc. But if you need the versatility of a spoked wheel in back, the rear 1080 is actually more aero than many discs. And, thanks to its toroidal profile and ABLC™ dimples, the 1080 is so stable in crosswinds that smaller riders like Linsey Corbin and Carlos Sastre can ride it with confidence. At 793g for the front tubular and 906g for the rear, the 1080 is light and quick enough that even hilly and technical courses will succumb to its all-out aero assault.

SUB-9 THE BREAKTHROUGH Our engineers always obsess over minimizing drag. But in testing a prototype disc with an aero shape similar to our bulged toroidal rims, we found ourselves seeking a new goal: maximizing propulsion. In the most common range of wind angles you’ll face on the road, the Sub-9 can actually generate forward lift when paired with the 21mm Zipp® Tangente tire. It was the first wheel to achieve this feat of aerodynamic alchemy and has since been matched only by our own Super-9. | The Sub-9’s distinctive profile controls airflow at the wheel’s leading and trailing edges, and provides a smoother, more comfortable ride than any flat-sided disc. For long-course triathletes, that means fresher legs at T2 and faster runs. At the 2010 Challenge Roth, the Sub-9 helped Rasmus Henning set the fifthfastest iron-distance time ever recorded. | Of course, aero isn’t about distance. The Sub-9 has also conquered shorter events, including multiple Ironman® 70.3 world championships and Stage 1 of the 2009 Tour de France®. It’s just that fast.

SUPER-9 THE SHORT-RANGE ROCKET The Super-9 disc borrows from the perimeter shape that makes the Sub-9 so fast it can actually generate forward lift. But in place of the Sub-9’s toroidal bulge, the Super-9 stays flat from its widest point all the way to the hub. As a result, the Super-9 is much stiffer and more responsive than the Sub-9, but just as aerodynamic. | In practical terms, this makes the Super-9 ideal for time trials, track events, and other races won on full-throttle power. Not surprisingly, it’s become a favorite of Team Saxo Bank and Fabian Cancellara. Along with the prologue and final TT of the 2010 Tour, Fabian’s results on the Super-9 include winning the 2009 world championships by nearly 2 seconds per kilometer. | And though we generally recommend the more compliant Sub-9 for long-course triathlons, Marino Vanhoenacker did ride a 4:18:30 bike split with the Super-9 at Ironman® Austria on his way to the fourth-fastest Iron-distance performance of all time. Maybe the world’s fastest wheel is more versatile than we think. Available in Tubular, PowerTap ® , ZEDTECH ® , Track.

TANGENTE TIRES Your tires reach the highest airspeeds of any part of your bike. But when it comes to aerodynamics, the shape that helps a tire roll smoothly and handle reliably is less than ideal. So athletes like Chris McCormack turn to the wind-tunnel-developed Zipp® Tangente. | Just as they do on Zipp rims, ABLC™ dimples on the Tangente tire produce smoother airflow around the wheel as a whole. As a result, the 21mm Tangente tubular can save up to 9 seconds over 40km compared to a traditional file tread pattern. | Aerodynamics aside, the 290tpi casing and durable rubber compound that we co-developed with Vittoria® give the Tangente a supple ride quality with low rolling resistance and high cornering grip in all conditions.
ZIPP TUBES Balanced wheels ride better. That’s why we created Zipp tubes with an exclusive aluminum valve and extension system that can reduce imbalance by up to 11 grams. With light carbon rims at high speeds, that’s a noticeable improvement in ride quality. Supple without being flat-prone, our .5mm-thick latex tubes weigh 64g each. For 19-25mm tires. Standard valve length fits Zipp 101.
VALVE EXTENSIONS Optional valve extensions for Zipp tubes shift the valve core to the end of the extension. Extensions are sized and labeled for specific Zipp rim depths. Each pack includes three extensions and two installation wrenches. Single extensions are also available.
AERO SKEWERS Our new aero skewers reduce drag by about the same amount as taking 2 spokes out of your front wheel. At 84g per pair with stainless steel shafts – included with all Zipp wheels – or 62g with titanium, they’re lighter than ever but just as secure. Details include hollowedout levers to reduce weight, durable brass washers, and an aero-profile nut on the ti version.

HUBS
A FASTER FOUNDATION Every Zipp® hub is manufactured locally in Indiana and reflects our unwavering commitment to performance. For rolling efficiency, our standard Swiss steel bearings are smoother than many ceramic “upgrades,” and the silicon nitride ceramic bearings included with every ZEDTECH® build are the most precise available in the industry. For lightweight, durable hub shells, we partnered with the world’s leading aluminum supplier to develop a proprietary alloy with nearly twice the strength-to-weight ratio of typically used 6061 aluminum. For reliable engagement, Zipp hub internals are produced using an electrical discharge machining technique that can cut 50% harder materials at tolerances 20 times greater than traditional machining and heat-treating. | We’ve gone to these lengths because we see the quality and precision of our hubs as the foundation on which we build the world’s fastest wheels. 32

The message is clear: better fit means better performance. | By analyzing data from the world’s most advanced fit systems, Zipp® has designed our aero bars, drop bars, and stems to help cyclists and triathletes unlock new levels of both speed and comfort on the bike. | In addition to intricate composite layups, premium materials, and superior aerodynamics, our unwavering commitment to technology and performance has been applied to the science of fit. With Zipp cockpit components, you’ll be comfortable with your results.

will find their match with the otherworldly strength-to-weight ratio of Zipp’s toughest carbon bar.
CONTOUR SL Designed for all-day performance and comfort, the Contour SL provides advanced ergonomic designs like a flattened airfoil top section and ovalized drops that fit the natural shape of your hands. Like the SLC2, the Contour SL packs all its features into just 190 grams.
SL Despite an astonishingly low weight of 170g, the SL cuts no corners. It’s available in a full range of proven shapes and sizes. It has a decidedly solid feel on the road. And it’s the lightest bar to have passed the toughest strength and fatigue standards of the independent EFBe test lab.
VUKASPRINT The new VukaSprint features a drop bar-specific version of the VukaBull’s aero top section. In the most common range of bar angles, the VukaSprint can save up to 3 watts compared to a traditional round bar. The sculpted profile with internal cable routing also provides comfortable hand positioning and gives the 210g bar a stiff, responsive road feel.
46
The Zipp SL, SLC2, and Contour SL are available in the Short and Shallow and Traditional Bend drop shapes, in sizes 40, 42, 44, 46cm (measured outside to outside). The VukaSprint is available in both drop shapes and sizes 42, and 44cm (measured outside to outside).

ROCK-SOLID. FEATHER-LIGHT. We’ve designed the SLSPEED and SL145 full-carbon stems to complement the distinctive aesthetics and precise fit of our bars. And as with all Zipp® products, every detail has been engineered to optimize performance, strength, and durability.
SLSPEED Fashioned from a mere 102 grams of unidirectional carbon and titanium hardware, the SLSpeed proves that a superlight stem doesn’t have to make compromises. Details like rearward-facing bolts threading into the ti faceplate and a single self-aligning bolt at the steerer clamp save weight without sacrificing stiffness and reliability. The SLSpeed stem has a ±6° angle 31.8 bar clamp diameter, and is available in sizes 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130. Quoted weights are for 100mm length.
48
SL145 One look at the stout body of the SL145 makes it clear that our engineers designed it to be the stiffest, strongest carbon stem available – as confirmed by the independent EFBe test lab in Germany. The latest updates include a unidirectional carbon finish and 10 grams of weight reduction. Now at just 135g, the SL145 features titanium bolts and an anodized aluminum faceplate. The SL145 stem has a ¹12° angle 31.8 bar clamp diameter, and is available in sizes 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130. Quoted weights are for 100mm length.
VUKABULL Thanks to feedback from leading fitters, the completely redesigned VukaBull full-carbon base bar is now available with zero or 40mm drop. We’ve also widened the clamp area to provide an extra 20mm of adjustment for clip-on bars and angled the grips up by 5° for better ergonomics when climbing and sprinting. But even as it meets more fit needs, the latest VukaBull is faster than ever. The new wing profile reduces drag, stiffens the bar, and complies with the UCI 3:1 rule. Internal brake cable routing completes the package. 200g (42cm measured outside to outside)

VUKAAERO POSITIONED FOR SPEED Unlocking truly fast times is impossible without a bike setup that balances aerodynamics, power output, and comfort. Just ask Jordan Rapp, who’s renowned among pro triathletes for his scientific approach to training, eqiuipment, and positioning. | The VukaAero is the only integrated aerobar with Zipp’s® patented compression sleeve system that allows four axes of adjustment to the extensions: fore/aft, vertical, rotational, and angular. Each extension is secured with a single, rearward-facing bolt that doubles as the exit point for internal cable routing. Like the VukaClip, the VukaAero allows 42 pad positions at 3 different heights. The hand grips with integrated full-carbon brake levers have been designed to mimic the position, shape, and texture of standard brake hoods. Even at 860g, the VukaAero easily passes the same European strength and durability standards required for drop bars. | The VukaAero will help you find that elusive perfect position while keeping its own drag and weight to a minimum. Because fit and performance are really one and the same. Available in 42cm (measured outside to outside) with your choice of Chicane, Straight, Ski-tip, or VukaShift extensions. VukaR2C sold separately.

CRANKS
VUMACHRONO FLYING BELOW THE RADAR Even the most detail-driven triathletes and time trialists can overlook their crankset as a potential aero upgrade. But compared to the usual squared-off arms and machined edges, the VumaChrono can save more than 25 seconds over 40km. That’s almost as much as switching from a pair of 303s to 1080s. Compared to any other aero crank, the VumaChrono is at least 9 seconds faster. | With its monocoque dome, 58mm-wide arms, and 30mm aluminum spindle, the VumaChrono is by far the stiffest crankset we’ve ever evaluated. It’s also the only one designed to give riders the option of a single or double chainring setup. Still, the complete system weighs just 860g (172.5mm, 53/39), including the ceramic bearing bottom bracket. | Not surprisingly, the aero, stiff, light, and configurable VumaChrono is quickly becoming a popular choice among our pro athletes like multiple Ironman® winner Michael Lovato – not to mention some big names that we don’t sponsor.
54
Available in six lengths from 167.5-180mm with 53/39, 54/42, or 55/42 chainrings. Compatible with English, Italian, and BB30 bottom bracket standards.
ACCESSORIES
LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT. The full extent of our engineering expertise is applied to every product that carries the Zipp® name, from Carbon Clinchers to the tiny wrenches included with the new valve extensions for Zipp tubes. The wrenches ensure a perfect seal at the original valve stem, which lets the valve core move out to the end of the extension. | When it comes to design and manufacturing to meet the most exacting standards, that’s just one example of the many you’ll find at zipp.com/accessories.
The die-cast aluminum Zipp Speed Twist CO2 inflator is roughly half the size of a standard “mini” inflator, but it’s full-featured and disc-compatible. Users can control the rate of inflation and save partially spent cartridges. Kit includes inflator head, two recyclable 16g cartridges, and a cold-proof, noise-reducing cover.
56
Zipp carbon bottle cages are designed to grip bottles with total security and fit the sleek looks of modern bikes with the world’s fastest wheels. All this at a weight of just 21 grams.
Embossed with the Zipp logo, the synthetic cork used in Zipp Handlebar Tape provides grip, comfort, and good looks. Stylish carbon fiber end plugs are included. Your choice of red, white, or black.
The checkered flag motif carries the Indy-bred spirit of the world’s fastest wheels. 21 or 24 oz with wide-mouth screw top. Made in USA.
Valve extensions for Zipp tubes are designed for leak- and hassle-free inflation, including pre-installed O-rings. Extensions are sized to fit specific Zipp rim depths and are labeled accordingly. Each pack includes three extensions and two installation wrenches. Single extensions are also available.
Sizing Zipp clincher rims near the maximum diameter allowed by ISO standards guarantees a secure fit with the tire. Ultra-thin Zipp Rim Tape snaps on quickly and allows easier tire changes than traditional cloth tape. 700c or 650c. Two rim tapes per box.
Thermally conductive Carbon/Carbon Brake Blocks maintain low temperatures with aluminum or carbon braking surfaces. Tangente High Performance Cork Brake Pads use a corkpolymer composite for superior performance on carbon surfaces only. Available for SRAM®, Shimano®, or Campagnolo®.
Zipp carbon headset spacers are precision-ground to ensure perfectly parallel edges. So your headset stays in adjustment through every twist, turn, and bump in the road. Available in 4, 8, 12, and 30mm heights for 1-1/8” steerer tubes.
