Zipp Tangente Tubular Tyre

Zipp Tangente Tubular Tyre: The unrelenting speed enthusiast understands the details.Knows the tyre is the leading and trailing edge of your wheel's airfoil and affects aerodynamic performance by up to 30%. And you want that speed all for yourself. Faster by design Conventional wisdom says a time trial tyre should be a smooth as possible to keep the air flowing over the wheel. But the reality is, smooth or not, the inherently "un aero" round cross section of the tyre, (remember, the perfect shape on a leading edge is elliptical, not round) punches the air away from the rim with all the finesse of a flying brick. The only solution? Create an aerodynamic boundary layer over the tyre to trip air into flowing like it's on an airfoil. In short, dimples. 14 month's worth dimple plotting, modeling and calculating plus 2 trips to the wind tunnel to create a dimple pattern with exactly the right surface roughness for boundary-layer formation. Over a year's worth of hard labor to save your 1-3 precious watts on race day. Where the rubber meets the road.While the Tangente is the most aerodynamic tyre in the world (and the only one developed in the wind tunnel) it's not just a delicate, special-mission TT tyre. It's got the guts of a hardened road warrior thanks to our partnership with Vittoria. Their expertise helped us optimize the handling, responsiveness and durability of the casing with an ultra-fine 290 tpi Corespan fabric. And the silica rubber compound? It's specially made just for the Tangente because, as it turns out, the gently scooped dimple patter is so much more crack resistant than grooved tread patterns we can use a lighter, better-gripping rubber with a lower rolling resistance than any other tyre on the market. All without sacrificing a bit of durability. The new Tangente tyre. Faster. Tougher. Stronger. Just like you. 14 months of aerodynamic development…the first windtunnel designed tyre 1-3 watt power savings 21mm width is the optimal blend of aerodynamics, rolling resistance and durability Supple 290 tpi casing Corner-hugging silica rubber compound Puncture resistant construction – hey, you can't win if you don't finish Includes tyre pressure chart to optimize rolling resistance by rider weight and front/rear use 197g

They have tested the liquid crystal fibre Vectran under the hard professional conditions of grit, pot holes and long hard mileage. Can the phenominal lab results of the new puncture protection material give a phenominal practical result as well? What do the pros say? Erik Zabels opinion is "…hot tyres!". From 2006 the Competition will be equiped with the new Vectran puncture protection breaker in serial production. One layer of the cut resistant Vectran under the tread instead of the previous two nylon breakers reduces weight and improves rolling resistance and rolling comfort. The German manufacture of the Competition hasn't changed. As previously, the worlds best pros only trust the handmade production of our seamstress team and our production staff in Korbach. 5 carcass pliesHandmade in Germany!
