Zipp 1ZERO HITOP SW Rear Wheel

Standard carbon wheels are often built for maximum stiffness, which can feel harsh on technical trails. The 1ZERO HITOP SW is engineered to flex slightly, absorbing impacts from roots and rocks rather than deflecting off them, which keeps your tires planted and reduces rider fatigue.

It provides real-time data on your tire pressure, allowing you to fine-tune your setup for specific trail conditions on the fly. This ensures you are always running the optimal pressure for traction and pinch-flat protection without needing to guess.

The hub is compatible with both SRAM XD and Shimano Micro Spline cassettes. You will need to ensure your specific drivetrain setup matches one of these standards before installing.

Yes, the winged rim shape creates a wider, flatter surface area at the bead hook. This design reduces the likelihood of the tire casing being cut or pinched against the rim edge during hard impacts, which is a common cause of flats in tubeless setups.

While it is built with the weight savings required for cross-country, its durability and compliance make it well-suited for modern, aggressive trail riding. It is designed to balance lightweight acceleration with the toughness needed for technical terrain.

This wheel is compatible with Center-Lock disc brake rotors. You will need to use a Center-Lock rotor or a 6-bolt to Center-Lock adapter.
