Zipp Super 9 Tubular Disc 2010 (In Stock)

The new Zipp Super 9 Tubular Disc excels in races won on full-throttle power. Intended for time trials, track racing, and the occasional Tour de France prologue, the Super-9 is stiffer than our 900 disc and matches the Sub-9’s remarkable ability to generate forward lift when paired with our Tangente tire.

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.

One thing that has set the Zipp hub apart since the beginning has been the bearing design. Zipp is the only company in the world specifying Swiss made ball bearing cartridges, but these are not even standard Swiss made cartridges, they are highly specialized. Since most stock bearings of the size used in bicycle hubs come from the machine industry, they are invariably designed for higher rotational speeds and generally lower loading, and usually no shock loading. Working with a family-owned Swiss bearing manufacturer, Zipp is able to define certain key criteria to bearing smoothness and long life, and develop the finest cartridge bearing every introduced into the cycling industry.

Note: valve stem must be at least 45mm. Please use a 27mm valve extender with all Tangente tires.
