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.

ASK BETTER QUESTIONS,
GET BETTER ANSWERS.
The technology in Zipp® wheels wouldn’t be possible
without the technology in the Zipp test lab. While the

engineers are constantly devising new ways to evaluate
the strengths and weaknesses of our products as well as

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 Zipp®,
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

machining the 101’s precisely curved profile allowed us to
optimize its performance for 23-25mm clincher tires by
increasing its aero section width to 24.5mm. | And what
makes the 101 so fast in the wind tunnel also gives it a
stable, responsive feel on the road. The wide profile resists

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.

– the first and only carbon wheelset to win on the

an aero advantage that helped Fabian ride solo for
40 windy miles to win both the Tour of Flanders and
Paris-Roubaix. Still, the 303 is light enough to have
won a Tour de France mountain stage with Heinrich
Haussler and stable enough for smaller riders like ITU
star Emma Snowsill. The 303 accelerates crisply and
handles responsively, making it ideal for cyclocrossers
like US national champions Tim Johnson and Katie

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.

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.

We’ve pared the Service Course SL and Service Course aluminum bars down to
the essentials: comfortable hand positioning and reliable performance worthy
of the pro peloton. | Both bars feature a classic look with round cross-sections
throughout and are available in the same Short & Shallow or Traditional Bend
shapes as our carbon bars. | The drops are angled outward by 2° to reduce
wrist strain. Service Course bars are produced from high-strength 7000 Series
aluminum. Service Course SL uses our proprietary ZTL-71 alloy and more intricate
internal forging to save weight without reducing strength and rigidity.
The Service Course and Service Course SL bars are available in the Short and Shallow and
Traditional Bend drop shapes in sizes 40, 42, 44, 46 cm measured outside to outside.

FIT FOR COMPETITION
Available in fourteen sizes to fit all riders, the Service Course
SL and Service Course stems are light, stiff, and tough. Highstrength 3D-forged construction and 7000-series aluminum
deliver an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio while allowing for
smooth lines to complement the aesthetics of modern frames.
During production, we take extra steps to ensure precise length
and alignment.
The Service Course and Service Course SL stems are available in ±6° and ±17° angles and
70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130mm lengths.

ELEGANCE AND ADJUSTABILITY
The Service Course SL and Service Course seatposts prioritize
adjustability without losing track of weight, strength, or looks.
In response to feedback from professional fitters, Zipp®
engineers created a unique low-profile clamp that allows the
saddle to slide farther back along the rails. This 20mm-setback
design also allows micro-adjustment with easily accessible
downward-facing bolts.
The Service Course SL seatpost is available in 275mm and 350mm lengths, and 27.2 and
31.6mm diameters.

COCKPIT
MORE SIZES. MORE OPTIONS.
MORE COMFORT. MORE SPEED.
Bike fitting is in the midst of a revolution. New technologies
are exploring the relationships of body positioning,
aerodynamics, and power output. 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.

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 ±12° 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.

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

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.
