1. Zipp Super-9 Carbon Tubeless Disc-Brake Rear Wheel Hookless
With the Zipp Super-9 Tubeless disc wheel for disc brakes on modern triathlon and time trial bikes, you will go faster. As one of the lightest wheels on the market, the Super-9 is an excellent choice for your modern triathlon and time trial bike. Its sophisticated shape starts wide and parallel from the hub, tapering inward as it meets the tubeless tire bed. Thanks to Zipp's Total System Efficiency (TSE) carbon laminate and design, the Super-9 is designed for a new era of wider tires and low tire pressure in time trials and triathlons. Zipp's TSE approach to wheel development is based on a simple premise: efficiency equals speed, whether the road surface is perfect or not. The combination of Zipp's wheel laminate with a wider rim profile, optimized for the transition between tire and rim edge, helps overcome the four obstacles to speed: aerodynamic drag, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses. Inspired by TSE, Zipp has refined the Super-9 from the rim-to-tire transition to the ceramic bearings. The result is less effort required from riders. For triathletes, this means more energy for running. The Super-9 pairs perfectly with Zipp's current tubeless front wheels.

5. Zipp 303 Firecrest
The definition of "road cycling" now also includes gravel and off-road, in addition to traditional roads. At the same time, bikes are evolving to meet the needs of smaller riders. Meeting these two different requirements was the driving force behind the Zipp 303 Firecrest 650b Tubeless Disc Brake wheelset. The smaller rim size provides the necessary space in frames and forks for wider tires starting from 28 mm, which offer more comfort, control, and better cornering. Thanks to the increased tire volume between the rim and the ground, the overall diameter, including the tire, resembles a standard combination of a 700c wheel and road tire. Back on the road, the 650b is a better-fitting wheel for smaller athletes who ride smaller frames. For too long, many smaller cyclists have trained and raced on standard 700c wheels, losing the advantages of a properly fitted wheel, such as improved handling and the elimination of overlap between the front wheel and toes. At the heart of the 303 650b Firecrest Tubeless is a versatile and durable hub set, the ZR1 DB, developed in Germany.
