The Sub-9's highlights so far include a pair of Ironman 70.3 World
Championships, a Tour yellow jersey, some of the fastest Iron-distance
bike splits ever recorded. We expected nothing less from the ultimate
aerodynamic breakthrough.
In the center of the aero "sweet spot" – a wind angle of 12 to 18
degrees – the Zipp Sub-9 was the first wheel ever to produce forward
lift, when paired with our 21mm Tangente tire. To achieve this feat, we
added a toroidal bulge similar to our spoked rims around the edge of the
disc to control airflow at the wheel’s leading and trailing edges. In
addition to improving aero performance, the bulge’s vertical compliance
keeps the Sub-9 glued to the road when cornering and yields a
comfortable ride, hour after hour. This makes it the ideal choice for
long-course triathletes to bounce out of T2 with fresh legs after a
blistering bike split.
For decades, an obsession with aerodynamics has influenced everything
from wheels to water bottles. But with the Sub-9 disc, we moved from
minimizing drag to maximizing propulsion.
Warning:
Variation in individual chain stay
specifications on these bike models may cause interference issues with
the Sub9. This is more of an issue for heavier and stronger riders
(>170 lbs), but Zipp strongly recommends you test the compatibility
under riding loads and conditions before making a purchase.
