Great that you're interested in our carbon wheels for tubular tires! Here's what you need to know about them:

Lightweight and Fast: Our carbon wheels are designed for tubular tires, which means they are lighter than traditional wire bead tires. This makes your bike more agile and accelerates faster.
Professional Performance: Many professionals prefer tubular tires because they offer an impressive combination of performance and reliability. With our carbon wheels, you'll get the most out of your bike.
Smooth Riding Experience: The seamless construction of tubular tires provides a smooth riding experience and offers better grip in corners. That means more control and fun while riding.


But how do tubular tires differ from other versions like tubeless, clincher, and tubular tires/tubular?

Tubular Tires/Tubular: This version uses a seamless rubber tire that is glued directly onto the rim. They offer the best performance but are slightly more difficult to mount and require special rims.
Tubeless: Unlike tubular tires, tubeless tires do not use inner tubes. Instead, sealant is poured into the tire to seal small punctures. Tubeless tires offer similar benefits to tubular tires but are slightly easier to mount and maintain.
Clincher: Clincher tires are the most common type of tires. They have a separate tire and tube construction that is clinched onto the rim. Clincher tires are easy to mount and offer good all-around performance but are usually heavier than tubular and tubeless tires.


So if you're looking for the highest performance and a premium riding experience, our carbon wheels for tubular tires are the perfect choice for you!

Indianapolis 1988< /span>

Motorsport engineer Leigh Sargent was actually specialized in perfecting the aerodynamics of Indy 500 vehicles. As the passionate cyclist became more and more involved with carbon wheels and disc wheels, he recognized the potential and founded the Zipp company in Indianapolis, the cradle of American motorsports. Two years after its foundation, the first Ironman in Hawaii was won with Zipp wheels. Already an insider tip in triathlon, it took until 2000 for the US brand to make the leap into professional cycling to the Belgian Lotto team. Ever since the company equipped the CSC team in 2003, it has been a major player in cycling.
 
 
 
Lead through technology

Zipp's sole mission is to help you get faster. For years, Zipp has used a combination of testing methods such as wind tunnels, CFD computer simulations, professional athlete evaluations and On-road testing to take aero performance to new levels. Our goal is to reduce drag while minimizing the impact of crosswinds on handling. This optimization of aero efficiency and crosswind stability was developed internally at Zipp known as AeroBalance ™. The approach began with Firecrest technology and was further developed with the introduction of the NSW range, particularly with Sawtooth ™ technology. Sawtooth ™ achieves this with a series of patented, fin-shaped Hyperfoil ™ nodes along the inner diameter of the rim, which is made with our new HexFin ™ ABLC dimples work together to improve airflow.
