Zipp is an iconic U.S. cycling components brand founded in 1988 by motorsports engineer Leigh Sargent in Indianapolis. Renowned for pioneering aerodynamic carbon wheels—like the disc, three-spoke, and Firecrest designs.
Now part of SRAM, Zipp continues its motorsport-inspired innovation through wind-tunnel testing and TSE (“Total System Efficiency”) engineering. Their elite wheel portfolio spans high-aero deep rims (808 NSW), versatile road race hoops (404/303 Firecrest), and rugged gravel lineups (101 XPLR with MOTO compliance tech). Beyond wheels, Zipp produces handlebars, stems, seatposts (carbon and alloy), and aerodynamic aerobars engineered with the same performance ethos. We recommend Zipp for riders chasing pro-level speed, crosswind stability, and lightweight responsiveness across disciplines—from triathlon to gravel exploration. With durable hookless tubeless designs, lifetime warranties, and systems tuned for modern tires and riding styles, Zipp continues to define speed and performance at the highest level.
