Zipp explains that the 3Zero Moto is heavily inspired by technology in motorsports developing a single-wall rim design that allows the rim to pivot either side of the spokes to better comply with rough terrain. Zipp has also integrated Quarq\u2019s TyreWiz into every 3Zero Moto wheel for better air pressure monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>Read about the all-new Zipp 3Zero Moto in the press release below.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-81997300-1554714580.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1468568\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1468568\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-81997300-1554714580.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-81997300-1554714580.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Zipp\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-full aspect-video\">\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yx8QYRfCi3M?feature=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Inspiration from Moto. Progression from Indy.<\/h2>\n<p>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 \u201cpivot\u201d 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.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-77791200-1554713923.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1468553\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1468553\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-77791200-1554713923.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-77791200-1554713923.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>For the rider that means durability and control for greater speed:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Higher impact resistance\n<\/li>\n<li>Reduced chance of pinch flatting\n<\/li>\n<li>More traction in rough corners\n<\/li>\n<li>Smoother ride in rocky terrain\n<\/li>\n<li>Ability to run lower tire pressure\n<\/li>\n<li>Reduced rider fatigue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-31356800-1554715740.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1468601\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1468601\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-31356800-1554715740.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-31356800-1554715740.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Tested by the World&#8217;s Fastest<\/h2>\n<p>For the last two years, we\u2019ve had prototypes and successive versions of the 3ZERO MOTO under the fastest riders in the world. Enduro MTB rider Adrien Dailly raced them to their first EWS podium in France, and enduro legend J\u00e9r\u00f4me Clementz recorded the first win in New Zealand. With their help, plus reams of honest feedback from our test riders, we\u2019ve arrived at the transformation of the mountain bike wheel for the speed-obsessed.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-14490500-1554714516.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1468567\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1468567\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-14490500-1554714516.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-14490500-1554714516.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our test riders are saying they have a lot less fatigue and arm pump and are not feeling vibrations of the trail coming up through the handlebars. \u201cThose wheels feel like I have an extra inch of travel,\u201d Clementz said. This isn\u2019t just on-the-trail marketing. It\u2019s Zipp\u2019s product development protocol. We test concepts for all riding styles, from those who are super smooth to those who may just case a jump now and then.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Stiffness: Perception vs Reality<\/h2>\n<p>While other wheel brands limit their focus to traditional box-section rim designs, Zipp engineers\u2014uninhibited by legacy technology\u2014wiped the whiteboard clean. All the best ideas eventually pointed to motorsports inspiration and Moto Technology\u2019s single-wall rim as the optimal approach for an enduro\/trail wheelset.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-44144600-1554715049.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1468576\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1468576\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-44144600-1554715049.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-44144600-1554715049.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 3ZERO MOTO\u2019s stiffness, compliance and durability come from Zipp\u2019s proprietary process to design and assemble rim, hub, and spokes. Each 3ZERO MOTO wheel is built as a system, its ZM1 hub set 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. It\u2019s a quantum jump from the typical and limiting box-section design that bicycle wheels have always used\u2013our moto-inspired design allows the fastest trail riders on earth to fly over the roughest terrain imaginable with speed and control like never before.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">How it works:<\/h2>\n<div style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-19260300-1554714874.png\" data-fileid=\"1468575\" data-fileext=\"png\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1468575\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-19260300-1554714874.png\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-19260300-1554714874.png\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Lateral stiffness<\/strong> \u2014 In a sharp turn, the rim remains stiff, providing confidence that the wheel is firmly planted. Zipp\u2019s wide hub flanges provide better spoke-bracing angles which help to increase the lateral stiffness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Torsional windup<\/strong> \u2014 When torque is applied to the rear hub when pedaling, you don\u2019t want the spokes to create a spring-like flex sapping your wattage. Having 32 spokes at the right tensions keep the wheel constrained during windup, meaning the energy in your legs is efficiently transferred to your rear wheel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Radial compliance<\/strong> \u2014 When you hit a rock, the system is designed to act as a shock absorber. Zipp\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAnkle\u201d compliance<\/strong> \u2014 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Durability and ride quality<\/strong> \u2014 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.<\/p>\n<p>More control. Fewer line deviations. Greater durability. Fewer pinch flats. The net gain? Pure speed.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Transform your ride with precise pressure<\/h2>\n<p>In enduro, 2 to 4 psi one way or the other can greatly influence speed, comfort and traction.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-69004200-1554715210.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1468581\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1468581\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-69004200-1554715210.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-69004200-1554715210.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, you have real-time tire pressure data thanks to the integration of Quarq\u2019s TyreWiz in every 3ZERO MOTO wheel. TyreWiz is the world\u2019s first AXS app-based tire-pressure monitoring device. It shows riders exactly what pressure their tires are at through their smartphone or head unit with ANT+ or Bluetooth Low Energy radio capabilities. Each 3ZERO MOTO wheelset includes TyreWiz as a standard integrated feature*, helping riders dial-in precise and optimal pressure for every trail condition. TyreWiz syncs the data, using the AXS app, it tracks with extremely accurate sensors that deliver + or \u2013 2% pressure accuracy, all the way down to 0 psi.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Lifetime Warranty<\/h2>\n<p>We are that confident in the durability that MOTO Technology provides. Each 3ZERO MOTO wheelset or rim includes a lifetime warranty for product issues that happen during your gnarliest Trail or Enduro use.<\/p>\n<p>Product registration required. Original owner only, non-transferable. Proof of purchase required. Covers defects in materials or workmanship. Rim damage is covered in indented use situations (Trail\/Enduro).

And with the added complexity that comes when also trying to install a tire insert, the process can get the better of even the strongest or most skilled. That is why the 3ZERO MOTO has been designed to make this process as easy as possible. No tools or help from friends are needed thanks to a rim profile and spoke-bed strip designed to make mounting and airing up tubeless tires the way it should be: Dead simple.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Want just the rims? You got it.<\/h2>\n<p>We believe the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and the 3ZERO MOTO complete wheelset embodies this philosophy. But we\u2019re also offering the option to purchase 3ZERO MOTO rims alone. We realize there are many hub choices on the market today, riders have particular preferences or arrangements\u20143ZERO MOTO rims can be part of myriad possible custom-build combinations.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Fully pinned aesthetics<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-88500200-1554714475.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1468566\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1468566\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-88500200-1554714475.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-88500200-1554714475.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>We find structures that deliver unrivalled performance to be the most beautiful.
