Road
Tyre Bead:Folding

To cut through the wind, Zipp used they patented ABLC dimples to mitigate the "un-aero-ness" of a round shape at the wheel's leading edge. It took them 14 months and 2 trips to the wind tunnel to get it right, but the dimples will save you 1-3 watts, or up to 9 seconds over 40km. That's a big deal.

But Zipp have made up for lost time with the Zipp Tangente, the first tyre developed in the wind tunnel. In its tubular incarnation, this tyre simply flies.

But the Tangente is not just a delicate special event tyre. Thanks to there partnership with Vittoria, the Tangente sports a durable yet supple 290tpi casing. Because the dimpled pattern resists cracking so well, Zipp able to use an exclusive an extra-light rubber compound for low rolling resistance and high cornering grip in wet and dry conditions.

The Tangente's 21mm width optimizes aerodynamics, cornering ability, and durability. Average weight 245g, +/- 10g. 38mm, overall length, approximately 34mm functional length. Includes tyre pressure chart to optimize rolling resistance by rider weight and front/rear use.

Price is for a single tyre. On the box it will state 'Open Tubular', but please note that the tyres are Clincher tyres.

These tyres are for racing style bikes that use clincher/hooked rims, these are the most common fitment and hook onto the rim and require an inner tube. There is a wide choice of tyres within this category and the right choice is important. Lighter tyres will accelerate quickly, but will be more prone to punctures so getting a balance is extremely important. If you require a tyre for all round use look for something with puncture protection, an average TPI(Threads Per Inch) and average weight. If you require a fast tyre and speed is the only thing that matters look for a low weight folding tyre with high TPI. If durability is your priority and speed is not so important look towards the puncture resistant tyres and consider going for a wider tyre, these will be less prone to punctures and offer a bit more comfort. For wet road conditions a triple compound or winter tyre is a good choice, these use a softer compound on the cornering surface to maximise grip.
