Dimples on your cycling jersey!  What will Zipp think of next? 

Our new range of cycling clothes now come in two striking color styles - Black and white (with a sliver of silver)  to match our 2008 wheels and a 4 color black, silver, white and red. We have mens cycle shorts, bib shorts and jerseys in small, medium, large, XL and XXL sizes.

Add to that lineup our new arm and leg warmers, a sub9 or 1080 extra deep wheel set and you have just the right outfit to take on all climates, conditions, applications and riders.

Stand out in the pack - show them the dimples on your back.

Coming from behind, this seventeen year old won the 4000m race comfortably when he passed Jenning Huizenga with 4 laps to go. Phinney was riding a Zipp 900 front track disc (785g) and a 900 Zipp flat track rear disc (990g). You may match those racing discs with Zipp's tangente tubular tires for ultimate aerodynamics.

Zipp sponsorship is closed for 2008

Zipp has received far more applications for sponsorship from event organizers, teams, clubs and individuals than ever before. It has been a difficult and daunting task to evaluate all the excellent entries.Our sincere thanks to everyone who sent in their applications for 2008 sponsorship. We have contacted all athletes who have been accepted. If you didn't make the cut - don't worry! We get MANY applications for sponsorship and must be highly selective in our decisions. We will again accept applications for 2009 sponsorship between October 1st and November 30th 2008.

Due to the large number of entries it will not be possible for us to notify applicants whom we are unable to sponsor - sorry. Thanks for your interest in Zipp!

Carbon brake lever and integrated shiftboss - now shipping

At  110g per pair the new VukaBrake's are the lightest, and only, all carbon plug-in style brakes on the market.  The center-pull  design routes the brake cables directly into the Vuka Bull, or most competitors, eliminating messy and potentially uncomfortable external cables.  The blade-like lever utilizes that same super aero shape, and confident stopping feel as our VukaAero integrated aerobar system. 

 

 

 

This patent pendingaero extension is made of full carbon construction  with an integrated shift boss weighing in at a mere 65g. By bringing  the expansion system  required to install standard bar end shifters, and integrating the mounting boss into the bar construction, we have been able to eliminate 30mm of length from the end of the bar.  What this means to the rider is no more cramped wrist positions!  And no more getting out of aero position just to shift.   For such a small product, this will make a really big difference at the end of your ride.  Whether it is your local sprint, requiring many shifts, or your favorite 112 mile stretch of road, followed by a little jog.  Your wrists, and bike splits will thank you.
