Ultra lightweight wheels, specially designed for mountain roads and for easier riding through sinuous terrain. The ultra low weight which together with the high rigidity makes for an agile and versatile Wheel.
It remains only few Zero Weight clincher rear wheels (38mm) !!!
The 38mm profile on both front and back wheels gives the wheel a soft ride on flat terrain and a great look for the bike. But without a doubt, performance improves on sinuous terrain.
The 38mm ZeroWeight rims weigh only 335gr each (tubular), leaving behind the old aluminium rims which weighed 700gr, and even the first carbon prototypes that weighed 500gr. Cycling legends like Anquetil and even Pantani could only dream of the the quality of ride provided by the ZeroWeight rims.
Our ZeroWeight set provides the best performance for climbing. A wheel responsive to changes in rhythm and able to adapt to the strongest changes in terrain surface levels. The best option for tackling a strong climb in pyreanean and alpine ports and passes, while still retaining speed on the up and downs of the valleys.
The 38mm profile of both front and rear wheels, with straight and flat spokes, provide better aerodynamic penetration and ride rigidity than low profile tyres without sacrificing safety on days with gusty lateral wind.
The striking looks, the UD carbon tubular tyres and 3K carbon clinchers, lower the overall weight of the bike which is the essence of the brisk feel of a high-range competition bikes.
ZeroCx hubs
Central to our entire range of ZeroCx wheels is our custom spec hub. Built out of high resistance aluminium it offers a high quality, highly solid structure. The sealing system is exclusive and easy to maintain, together with high spec ceramic bearings provide extremely reliable and smooth riding. Our development program is continually improving the smoothness of our wheel ride, reliability and safety.
The front hub has a weight of 65g, together with a sober and elegant design. The rear hub has a weight of 210g, a robust hub casing for greater rigidity. Both hubs weigh in at just 275g.
Both of our hubs have been subject to the full resistance and endurance quality assurance tests, and have strength and reliability specifications way beyond the current standard requirements.
The ZeroCx skewers match the high performance and quality standards of the hubs. Made of titanium they weigh just 45g (the pair).
ZeroCx Assembly
Wheel assembly is a manual process conducted at our factory in northern Spain. Each is hand checked and put through our internal QA process, before being signed off by the engineer.
Carbon
ZeroCx wheel rims are constructed with the most advanced carbon material on the market, achieving amongst the highest lightness, rigidity and safety levels in the market.
Our choice of carbon components and suppliers have 20 years of R&D from aeronautics and aviation sectors, and achieve the highest levels of Quality Standards. ZeroCx has supplied and partnered with prestigious international brands from several sectors.
The range of wheels have been tested and fine tuned over thousands of miles, and different types of road. The cumulative R&D has allowed us to design the highest specification wheels for the different training, terrain and race needs of professional and advanced amateur cyclists.
In all our products we have adapted the carbon finish to the wheel type. The UD carbon is lightweight and flexible, and the wheels absorb shocks and vibration well. 3K carbon has more substance, providing a more solid and rigid structure than other types of carbon. Each wheel in our ZeroCx range is designed with the most suitable type of carbon type.
Spoke and spoke nipples
The spoke holes in the rim are drilled at the exact angle required by its position on the wheel hub. The spokes, spoke nipples are sourced from the highest specification manufactures in the market. The wire gauge on the spokes has been selected and tested to provide high strength, aerodynamic profile, high fatigue resistance while adding a minimum of weight on the wheel.
The spokes selected are stainless steel and withstand tension of up-to 1600N/mm². The inox 18/8 grade stainless steel and the polyax aluminium on the spoke nipples provide good shock absorbing properties together with durability. The central length of the spokes are flattened to lower wind resistance at high wheel speeds.
