Zipp Speed Shop 9 Clincher Disc Wheel

Zipp Speed Shop Disc Clincher: 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, 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! No rim tape needed.

Zipp Wheel Features and Technology: Performance and research driven. Zipp continues to feature the best technologies in their wheels built with one goal in mind; to get to the finish line as quickly as possible!

• Zipp’s Patented ABLC (Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control) buldged rims provide optimum aerodynamics for the choosen 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!
• 700c, Shimano (SHM) or Campy (CAM) compatible
• Clincher weight 1222g
