Zipp’s 30 Clincher gets you where you’re going faster. Zipp’s quarter century of aero excellence went into designing a distinctive aluminum rim that saves an estimated 42 seconds over 40km compared with a standard box-section rim in common wind conditions (See aero chart lower left).* That’s aero efficiency you can take to the pain bank -- in races, gran fondos, gravel adventures and training rides.
The 30’s 21.5mm wide tire bed enhances cornering grip and increases ride comfort. Its 30mm deep hybrid toroidal aluminum rim exceeds the aero performance of many deeper “V” section carbon rims at half the height. The 30’s width between the clincher hook beads allows for increased air volume in the tire to lower the chance of pinch flatting. This overall performance is the result of trickle-down technology from Zipp wheel design and to produce a teardrop-shaped rim with parallel brake track and proven aero benefits (See rim profile image lower left).
At the center of the 30 is the light, smooth and tough new hub -- which is 10 or 11-speed compatible. The hub shell is formed from ultra-strong and lightweight 7075-T6 aluminum. Sapim CX-Ray spokes maintain stiffness required for efficient power transfer. External nipples better support each spoke as it exits the rim. Stainless steel bearings with a protective polymer design that aids in lubrication help ensure years of smooth riding. This hub is precision set, so it requires no pre-load adjustment.
For you, this all means years of high-performance riding not worrying about your wheelset. Simply put, the 30 Clincher is the perfect balance of durability, aerodynamics, stiffness and weight.
