Zipp 3ZERO Moto 29" Clincher Rim

Zipp's 3ZERO Moto 29" Clincher Rim is inspired by moto to provide riders with the control and durability required for pure speed.

Features

Lateral stiffness - In a sharp turn, the rim remains stiff, providing confidence that the wheel is firmly planted. Zipp's wide hub flanges provide better spoke-bracing angles which help to increase the lateral stiffness.

Radial Compliance - When you hit a rock, the systems is designed to act as a shock absorber. Zipp's MOTO Technology allows the rim to flex, which absorbs the impact energy and spreads it away from the impact zone for increased durability. In essence, more of the rim carries the load from the impact.

"Ankle" Compliance - Imagine a runner rounding a sharp turn, the ankle naturally flexing to maintain grip as the runner leans. The rim can locally flex to stay parallel to the ground during cornering, which increases traction much like a human ankle. This ability to twist locally allows it to deflect during single bead impacts without the rider getting bounced off line.

Durability and ride quality - 3ZERO MOTO rim strength exceeded our expectations for impact resistance due to MOTO technology compliance. As for ride quality, the wheel also deflected three times more than top rival box-section carbon wheels. That extra compliance behaves like extra suspension, but it also spreads the impact energy over a larger area. This also benefits the rider in the form of pinch flat prevention.

The benefits of all that are simple. More control. Fewer line deviations. Greater durability. Fewer pinch flats. The net gain? Pure speed.

Technologies

Theirsingle-wall approach, what theycall Moto Technology, allows the rims to "pivot" from either side of the spoke bed while traversing rough terrain. As the wheel encounters obstacles, each edge of the rim is designed for compliance, creating the feel of extra suspension. For the rider that means durability and control for greater speed:

Higher impact resistance

Reduced chance of pinch flatting

More traction in rough corners

Smoother ride in rocky terrain

Ability to run lower tire pressure

Reduced rider fatigue
