2009 Zipp Zedtech Front Wheel
2009 Zipp ZedTech Front Wheels:
ZedTech wheels are the pinnacle of perfection. The pinnacle of speed, the beauty of hand-craftsmanship. The apex of carbon composite materials built 100% in Speedway, Indiana. The customization is endless, the quality is breathtaking. The ride experience is legendary. ZedTech wheels. The best performance wheels on the market without a question.
Every single ZedTech wheel is hand-crafted and are made to order. Dimpled hubs, which save 4-9 seconds over a 40km time-trial are extremely hard to manufacture, but ZedTech is measured by its performance. No corners have been cut. The ceramic bearings are Silicon Nitride, which are the world's most precise, smoothest, and durable bearing on the market. You'll feel it from the moment you get on a wheelset the buttery smooth, lightweight ride of a ZedTech wheelset. An experience that words can't do justice.
You can choose to stiffen the laminate to make the most powerful wheel for sprinting. Or you can choose to develop the lightest possible wheelset and even choose lighter ZedTech decals if that's your fancy. For Zipp it's all about the highest performing wheels that at day's end are uniquely yours.
ZedTech Options:
ZedTech Nipple Color: (FREE)
Your ZedTech wheel can be true by adjusting the nipples, which changes the spoke tension. You have the power to select a multitude of different colors. Choose from Black, Gold, Red, Silver, or Smoke.
ZedTech Hub Cap Color: (FREE)
Your ZedTech wheel comes with dimpled Zipp 88/188 hubs. The hub caps can chosen to be one of the following colors: Blue, Gold, Pink, Red, Silver, or Smoke. The picture in the inset shows the different colors.
ZedTech Hub Nut Color: (FREE)
Your ZedTech wheel comes with dimpled Zipp 88/188 hubs. The hub nut can chosen to be one of the following colors: Blue, Gold, Pink, Red, Silver, or Smoke. The picture in the inset shows the different colors.
ZedTech Decals: ($Variable)
There are a slew of different decal colors to choose from. You can choose from any of the standard ZedTech colors, which are Light Blue, Royal Blue, Pink, Red, Gold, or White. However you can create your own custom decals with any colors you want. Do you want your "Z" in Zipp light green but the "i" blue? No problem. The choices are truly endless. Custom decals are an additional $160 and also can be purchased in reflective or lightweight form for $220. If you elect to select custom decals, we'll contact upon placing the order to make sure we have the color specifications you want!
Ceramic Bearings: ($334)
All ceramic bearings are not equal. If we were to take all of the ceramic bearings on the market today outside of ZedTech's you would find they aren't nearly as smooth as Zipp's standard stainless steel bearings! Why is this? It's because all bearings aren't equal, just as all diamonds aren't equal! Zipp uses the highest quality ceramic bearings that you can buy. What does this mean? Your wheels will ride considerably smoother, which means you'll be more comfortable riding on your ZedTech wheels. In addition to the substantial mechanical drag savings.
There are two ceramic bearings in the front ZedTech wheel.
ZedTech Rim Laminate: ($Variable)
ZedTech wheels can be crafted to be the lightest, stiffest, or the best all around performance rim. You have three optionsStandard (Free): the standard ZedTech rim is manufactured to be the best all around high performance rim.
SS or Super-strong ($125): this ZedTech rim laminate creates the strongest and stiffest rim possible. If you are a larger rider (200+lbs.) or love to sprint this is a great choice to eliminate any unwanted flex.
SL or Super-light ($125): the lightest ZedTech rim laminate sheds all the possible weight from the rim without sacrificing structural integrity.
Included: Embroidered ZedTech double wheelbag for free with a purchase of ZedTech wheelset
Free Shipping for all continental United States orders
Optimized rim shape and dimpling
Titanium Zipp skewers
Dimpled hubs
Additional ZedTech Features:
Speed Shop 2 (202): Designed and built inside the wind tunnel in order to make a premiere, lightweight, stiff climbing wheel. For 2009, Zipp spec'd the 202 with the all-new 88/188 hubset and moved to external spoke nipples for easier service with no aero penalty. As always, Zipp's VCLC and Carbon Bridge technologies that ensure that the 202's ride is comfortable, smooth, and rock-solid. Excellent choice for mountainous events or when the number one priority is weight! Just hold on to your hats when you start to descend as the 32mm rim is going to catapult off the front!
Speed Shop 3 (303): Are you a lightweight rider that gets blown around in every cross wind or wants to have an extremely stable, yet aerodynamic wheelset? The Zipp 303 is an excellent choice in the rear when the 58mm Zipp 404 rim is a little too much to have! The Zipp 303 wheel preserves nearly all the aerodynamic advantages gained from Zipp’s deeper rims, while maintaining a super low weight. In fact it is still only 101 grams heavier than the Zipp 202! Precision handling, superior stiffness, and a 44mm rim that will have you riding in confidence in even the most technical and windy conditions.
Speed Shop 4 (404): Without a question the most popular wheel in the triathlon and cycling world. To put it simply, if you were sent on a round-the-world mission to win as many events as possible and could only bring one wheelset, this would be it. That was before Zipp took the 404 back to the wind tunnel to make it even better! Using the knowledge gained from the Sub-9 and 1080, Zipp redesigned the rim shape resulting in a 3 watt savings (9 seconds) over a 40km TT! In addition with Zipp's new 88/188 hubs the 404 spoke count has been reduced, thus improving aerodynamics and saving weight.
Speed Shop 8 (808): The Zipp 808 is faster than a tri-spoke and with 28% less side-force for better handling in the crosswinds. Hundreds of hours in and out of the wind tunnel devoted to develop the Zipp 808’s 82mm rim and optimize the position of the ovoid rim cross-section. For this year the 808 features a newly redesigned rim which is even faster, saving 9 seconds over a 40km TT! In addition with Zipp's new 88/188 hubs the 404 spoke count has been reduced, thus improving aerodynamics and saving weight. A perfect complement to a Zipp Speed Shop 4 (Zipp 404) as your front wheel, which turns into an extremely versatile and well respected wheelset, previously called the Zipp 606!
Speed Shop 10 (1080): Isn’t the Zipp 808 fast enough? Do you demand more speed and want the technology to back the aerodynamic advantage of an optimized deeper rim profile? The Zipp 1080 was developed for the athlete who craved the ultimate speed-demon when it comes to your choice of wheels. 108mm of patented torodial rim and ABLC dimple technology that tames the wind with its shape that no other ultra-deep rim maker can touch! If you’re a big block V8 kind of a rider who looks forward to slipping through the wind, this is your weapon. Seconds matter, speed matters, and size does matter.

Additional ZedTech Features:
- Zipp’s Patented ABLC (Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control) bulged rims provide optimum aerodynamics for the chosen rim depth.
- VCLC (Visco-Elastic Constrained Layer Control) kills vibration, increases stiffness and responsiveness
- ICT (Inversion Composite Technology) improves the stiffness and strength of the Zipp wheel through continuous banding of unbroken radial fibers.
- M2CM (Multi-Material Co-Molding) provides the means to unify two dissimilar materials and is key in designing the best performing clincher rims.
- Carbon Bridge technology improves stiffness and impact resistance while reducing the weight!
- Zipp Sapim oval spokes optimized to prevent compromising aerodynamics!
- Zipp 88/188 hubs, which are more durable, stronger, and aerodynamic than any hub on the market. Click here to watch a video about the redesigned Zipp hubs!
