Zipp Speed Weaponry may just provide the fastest and finest aero wheels on the planet. This comes as no surprise since Zipp is dedicated to one thing: making you go faster on your bike. Each set of Zipp wheels is passionately handcrafted in the USA to avoid many of the pitfalls of carbon wheelset technology, including, susceptibility to breakage, uneven braking surfaces, poor durability, and warranty issues. Many of us at Cadence race and even train on Zipp 303s and 404s, and we all use the 909 wheelset for time trials. We’ll all attest to the durability and quality of these outstandingly light wheels.
The Zipp 909 wheelset, complete with the Zipp rear disc and deep dish front wheel, is the wheelset lusted after by professional tri and biathletes, pro cyclists, and regional amateurs. The 909 set up is hands-down the fastest aero wheelset for time trialing and multisport races. Want to cut up to 2 minutes off your next 40K time trial? Try the 909s, and we think you’ll be shockingly surprised!
Zipp’s 404s are not only extremely aero, they are amazingly lightweight. The 404s are the workhorse of the Zipp stable, providing acceleration and aerodynamics perfect for criteriums or time trials, and strength, dependability, and lightness for long solo breakaways or climbing road races. They are the choice the world over for multisport athletes, and are the ultimate multi-task performance wheelset.
Zipp’s 303s are a lower dish carbon wheelset which provide aerodynamic superiority on technical courses or in windy conditions. More than this, however, their particular build characteristics ensure that they provide more than 2X the lateral and vertical stiffness of traditional wheelsets. Their absorption vibration qualities are unparalleled, making for more comfort and less abuse on the rider for long road races or those five hour training rides. 303s are perfect for criteriums, long, climbing road races, or even cyclocross!
