It includes an integrated Quarq TyreWiz<\/a>, enabling riders to monitor their tyre pressures<\/a> in real time from a connected bike computer<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p> At a claimed weight of only 1,050g, Zipp says the Super-9 Tubeless Disc-Brake Disc is among the lightest disc wheels available.<\/p> Zipp says Chlo\u00e9 Dygert, of the Canyon\/\/SRAM Racing Women\u2019s WorldTour team<\/a>, used the new Super-9 Tubeless Disc-Brake Disc to win the women\u2019s individual time trial at the 2023 UCI World Championships.<\/p> Built around Zipp\u2019s flagship ZR1 hub (with ceramic bearings), the Zipp Super-9 Tubeless Disc-Brake Disc is available now and costs \u00a32,450 \/ $3,000 \/ \u20ac2,750.<\/p> In line with its other road wheelsets, the new Super-9 Tubeless Disc-Brake Disc has been updated in accordance with Zipp\u2019s Total System Efficiency (TSE) philosophy.<\/p> This sees the move to a wide, hookless rim designed for larger tyres and lower tyre pressures.<\/p> Zipp says this combination offers lower rolling resistance<\/a>, as well as improved handling and cornering grip.<\/p> As such, the internal rim width has grown substantially \u2013 from 18mm on the outgoing Super-9 Tubeless disc wheel, to 23mm-wide on the new one.<\/p> This is the same internal rim width as on its 454 and 858 NSW<\/a>, and 404 and 808 Firecrest rims, although its 353 NSW and 303 Firecrest rims are wider with 25mm internal widths<\/a>.<\/p> Because the rim is hookless, it can only be used with tubeless tyres<\/a> (though you can use an inner tube<\/a> with a tubeless tyre if you prefer).<\/p> Zipp says a 700x28c tyre is both the minimum and optimal size tyre for the Super-9 Tubeless Disc-Brake Disc wheel.<\/p> Aerodynamically, Zipp says the new Super-9 disc wheel performs similarly to the previous version. It counts this as a win, though, since wider rims and tyres have a larger frontal area than narrow ones, which typically increases drag.<\/p> Consequently, the wheel is \u2013 according to Zipp \u2013 faster thanks to \u201cwatt-savings from reduced rolling resistance\u201d.<\/p> Zipp hasn\u2019t put a specific figure on exactly how many watts riders can expect to save, but it did note the wheel was wind-tunnel tested in \u201cthe leading four triathlon bikes\u201d, to ensure it worked well across different models.<\/p> It also says it tested the wheel on a rolling road with three tyre models, the Vittoria Corsa Pro TLR<\/a>, the Continental GP5000 TT TR<\/a> and the Schwalbe Pro One TT<\/a>, to ensure consistent results.<\/p> Zipp says the new Super-9 disc wheel is 125g lighter than the outgoing model, bringing its weight down to 1,050g.<\/p> Zipp has integrated a Quarq TyreWiz sensor into the Super-9 Tubeless Disc-Brake Disc.<\/p> Zipp says this will enable riders to monitor their tyre pressures in real time, either while riding or when reaching their bike during the transition of a triathlon.<\/p> The valve hole has also been enlarged, giving a little more room for a track pump head to fit in (though it notes a pump adaptor will still be required, and is included with the wheel). The wheel also includes a dedicated valve hole cover to negate the need to tape over the hole.<\/p> As before, the Super-9 Tubeless Disc-Brake Disc uses a textured surface, which Zipp says helps to control airflow shedding off the wheel.<\/p> It costs \u00a32,450 \/ $3,000 \/ \u20ac2,750 and is available as a rear wheel only, with either a Shimano HG or SRAM XDR freehub<\/a>.<\/p> While tubular tyres remain a dominant force in track cycling<\/a> events, clincher wheels have seen a steady growth in popularity in recent years, taking a number of high-profile wins.<\/p> Most notably, Filippo Ganna broke the UCI Hour Record in 2022 aboard a Pinarello Bolide F HR 3D<\/a> equipped with Princeton CarbonWorks Track Special clincher disc wheels and Continental GP5000 TT TR tyres.<\/p> On trend, Zipp has also announced the Super-9 Clincher Track Disc, which will be used at the 2024 Paris Olympics<\/a>.<\/p> Designed to deliver optimal aerodynamic performance with a 23mm-wide tyre, the Super-9 Clincher Track Disc uses a 21mm internal rim width.<\/p> According to Zipp, the rim uses small tyre bead hooks designed for optimal aerodynamic efficiency \u2013 presumably to reduce the lightbulb effect large clincher hooks can have on a tyre.<\/p> The wheel is also said to be constructed with a \u201ctrack-specific carbon laminate\u201d, making the wheel stiffer than the road-specific version.<\/p> The Super-9 Clincher Track Disc uses a flat profile and gets Zipp\u2019s proprietary textured surface.<\/p> Zipp claims a Super-9 Clincher Track Disc wheel weighs 1,000g exactly.<\/p> It costs \u00a32,450 \/ $3,000 \/ \u20ac2,750, and is available as either a front or rear wheel.<\/p>Wider is faster, even with disc wheels<\/h2>
