Zipp's success story is not about wheels, handlebars or pedals: it's about people. It's a story of intensive collaboration between people from different backgrounds From Tour de France winners and Ironman champions to engineers and scientists. It's the story of hours, days, months of work and analysis of every detail to produce the best wheels and bike components on the market. No other company in the world spends as much time and energy optimizing a bike wheel. Zipp is synonymous with quality, innovation, durability, speed and performance improvement, but above all, with passion. Bring together the best people from aerospace engineering, Formula 1 and the chemical industry, give them enough space to focus all their energy on wheel design and you get the ultimate Zipp wheel with unique and patented parts. For example, Zipp holds the patent for the most aerodynamic rim on the market: no other rim structure is as aerodynamic as the Zipp rim. At an angle of 10 to 20 degrees (which occurs in 85% of weather conditions), Zipp is the absolute number one. Its Golf Ball rim profile has been wind tunnel tested and saves up to 4 watts of energy at speeds of at least 40 km/h, at a wind angle of 5 to 20 degrees (occurs in 95% of all weather conditions). The idea came from the world of golf: small indentations on the surface of golf balls reduce air resistance, positively influencing ball flight. The Zipp wheelsets are very stiff and stable, thanks to the patented VLC (shock absorption) technology and the thin film layer between the carbon layers of the wheels, which increases the shock absorption by 10-12%. As a result, cyclists absorb less unwanted shock and muscle effort and lactate production in the body are reduced. In short: these wheels improve your performance! In addition, this technology provides better road grip for superior cycling performance with increased comfort. Zipp owns the patent for M2CM (Multi-Material Co-Moulding) technology. With this technology, the aluminum rim is bonded to the carbon rim in the mold for maximum braking performance. Zipp uses different types of carbon (unidirectional and multidirectional) when necessary, as they each have their own specific qualities. The welded aluminum rim ends simply cannot be broken. The rim perforations are inclined in the direction of the hub, so there is no tension where the spoke exits the rim. Therefore, the carbon rim nipples cannot tear. Sapim CX Ray spokes are the best spokes on the market. Thanks to their flat shape, the air resistance is reduced and the carbon rim is sealed. The rims are also equipped with additional carbon reinforcements and Kevlar weaves at 15 centimetre intervals. This is a unique process.
