2009 Zipp Speed Weaponry: No other manufacturer has changed the face of the cycling world as Zipp. No other manufacturer works as dilligently in function and design as Zipp. Zipp's countless hours in the wind tunnel has refined each rim shape to make it the fastest possible. Their engineers continue to push the envelope with their completely redesigned hub, which are stronger, more aerodynamic, and allow you to preload the bearings. Just take a good look at any cycling or triathlon event and you'll see that Zipp is the weapon of choice! Discs, shallow rims, deep rims, or any combination, Zipp has it! Because, in the pursuit of excellence, one size does not fit all. Ride Zipp and feel the difference. Here's video about the redesigned Zipp hubs!

Speed Shop Wheels

Speed Shop 2	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	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	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	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 compliment 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	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.
Speed Shop Disc	The Zipp tubular disc is the lightest disc on the market and the fastest, with the exception of the Sub-9 disc. The Zipp Disc has been one of the major cornerstones of Zipp’s arsenal of high performance wheels. The ABLC dimpled surface provides additional watt savings and the new carbon bridge technology sheds additional grams. A perfect compliment to any of the premier Zipp front wheels, which can be choosen to improve handling such as with the Zipp 202 or to slip through the wind as quickly as possible as with the Zipp 1080.
Speed Shop Clincher Disc	The first disc to take into account the specific rim geometry required to properly blend the airflow behind the tire. Most clincher discs have used an aluminum rim post-bonded to the outside of a flat or lenticular disc wheel. This approach can lead to strong and easily manufactured clincher discs, but it does not take into account the turbulence created by the interface between the tire extrusion and the disc! Zipp took over 2 years addressing this problem and has created the ultimate clincher disc, which is optimized for strength, weight, and aerodynamics. Incorporating Zipp’s VCLC technology reduces the road vibration up to 11%! Smooth riding with improved aerodynamics!
Speed Shop Sub-9	Zipp decided to reinvent the wheel and has developed the first disc to product negative drag! Zipp used the most difficult wind tunnel testing protocol – a 30 degree down to 0 degree test run that starts with the airflow already separated from the rim. The Zipp Sub-9 Disc shattered every drag reading and at 15 degrees yaw it produced -80 grams of drag. And yes, that’s a negative 80! The Sub-9 Disc’s unique shape was designed to optimize the airflow properties as it comes off the tire when it’s acting as a leading and trailing edge. The torodial bulge also functions to improve the responsiveness and handling.
Speed Shop PowerTap Discs	One of the biggest drawbacks of using PowerTap for time-trialists and triathletes is that you couldn't use it with a disc. Those days are over! By completely redesigning a PowerTap hub, Zipp and Cycleops have joined together to create a Zipp disc with an internal PowerTap hub, thus creating the ultimate weapon in the PowerTap line!
