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.
