It’s said that upgraded wheels are the most significant performance improvement you can make on a bike, and it’s true. Zipp’s high-performance wheelsets have long been synonymous with said upgrading, but often, their price has put them out of reach for many riders. But that changes now. Introducing the Zipp 302 carbon fiber wheelset, bestowing Zipp’s incredible performance on those with an eye on value.
Often touted as a weight-saving material, many riders often overlook another major benefit of carbon rims: vastly improved ride quality. The vibration dampening qualities one enjoys in a carbon frame apply to a carbon wheelset, as well, and the 302 is no exception.
Zipp long ago came to understand the benefits of a wider rim bed – from improved ride comfort to cornering traction to reduced rolling resistance – and the new 302 benefits from this wisdom, with an impressive internal rim width of 16.25mm, whether disc- or rim-brake ready.
The all-new 76 (front) and 176 (rear) hubs provide a smooth, reliable, and stable foundation for the new 302 wheelset. The tall flanges boost both acceleration and lateral stiffness, and the hubs are easily serviceable, with removable end-caps and J-bend spokes.
Since day one, Zipp has chosen to manufacturer all of its wheel at its headquarters in Indianapolis, USA, and the 302 is no different. This gives Zipp complete control and unparalleled oversight of its processes and finished product, and Zipp’s quality speaks for itself.
