Zipp 900 Clincher Disc Wheel

Take your best proven design, build prototypes, return to the wind tunnel, test, try and test again. The design team at Zipp has worked for two years to bring you the best combination of aerodynamics and riding comfort.

We were able to build on our very fast clincher disc, knowledge gained from the 808 and 1080 and combine the learnings to create the first wheel every to show positive drag in a wind tunnel. At 15 degrees of yaw our sub9 disc showed a -80g drag reading. This design was creating lift rather than making drag. The patented bulge rim shape maintains laminar airflow longer than all other industry shapes reducing wind resistance and decreasing the energy needed to attain and maintain the speeds you desire.

Inserting our new Carbon Bridge™ technology increases the impact resistance, while the deeper side walls absorb and dampen road vibrations, creating a very comfortable ride and a disc wheel that handles well when cornering. At a mere 1000g (tubular) this disc is light stiff and shaped for performance.

Our M2CM co-molding technology ensures the strongest bonding between carbon and aluminum, increasing riding comfort due to VCLC technology that allows for sidewall flex. Road vibration is reduced by 11% and high frequency vibrations are significantly dampened.

This clincher disc is aerodynamically optimized for tires between 19 and 23mm wide.
