ZIPP 3ZERO MOTO 27.5" 12x148mm Boost 6-Bolt Rear Wheel Slate/Stealth (XD)

Zipp's new 3ZERO MOTO Carbon 27.5 and 29 enduro/trail wheelset is inspired by moto to provide riders with the control and durability required for pure speed. Moto remains a powerful source of inspiration for good reason. Based in the racing hotbed of Indianapolis, Zipp for more than three decades has used motorsports as an inspiration to develop pioneering carbon cycling innovations. Our single-wall approach, what we call 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.

Key Features:
Higher impact resistance
Reduced chance of pinch flatting
More traction in rough corners
Smoother ride in rocky terrain
Ability to run lower tyre pressure
Reduced rider fatigue

Stiffness: Perception Vs. Reality
While other wheel brands limit their focus to traditional box-section rim designs, Zipp engineers uninhibited by legacy technology wiped the white board clean. All the best ideas eventually pointed to motorsports inspiration and Moto Technologys single-wall rim the optimal approach for an enduro/trail wheelset.

The 3ZERO MOTOs stiffness, compliance and durability comes from Zipps proprietary process to design and assemble rim, hub, and spokes. Each 3ZERO MOTO wheel is built as a system, its ZM1 hubset and 32 spokes and handmade carbon rim all integrate to play key roles in performance. Look at a cross section of the 3ZERO MOTO and you can see the difference right away. Its a quantum jump from the typical and limiting box-section design that bicycle wheels have always used Zipps moto-inspired design allows the fastest trail riders on earth to fly over the roughest terrain imaginable with speed and control like never.
