Whereas the Sub-9 achieved this feat by incorporating Zipp’s patented toroidal bulged rim shape to match the Zipp Tangente tire, the Super-9 creates the same level of aero performance with a flat-sided design that is 27.5mm throughout.
With a slightly wider 23mm tire bed, the Super-9 is able to provide superb aerodynamics with tires up to 23mm while offering ample chainstay clearance for even the tightest aero frames. Note: integrated aero rear brakes in some frames may present clearance issues; please check fit with brake before purchasing.
The Super-9’s hub features the stiff 17mm axles of the 188 road hub along with adjustable bearing preload with the industry’s only aero preload nut. The standard version of the Super-9 weighs less than 1,000 grams and is convertible between road and track setups.
