Description
-NEVER BUILT-Zipp’s 3ZERO MOTO 29 enduro/trail rims were inspired by moto to provide riders with the control and durability required for maintaining trail speed.
INSPIRATION FROM MOTO
Moto remains a powerful source of inspiration for Zipp's single-walled approach called Moto Technology™. This design allows the rims to “pivot” from either side of the spoke bed while traversing rough terrain. As the wheel encounters obstacles, each edge of the rim is designed for compliance, creating the feel of extra suspension. For the rider that means durability and control for greater speed. Key benefits include:
Higher impact resistance
Reduced chance of pinch flatting
More traction in rough corners
Smoother ride in rocky terrain
Ability to run lower tire pressure
Reduced rider fatigue
TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
Rim Washers: must be used and are included with rims

Zipp Science:
Lateral stiffness –
In a sharp turn, the rim remains stiff, providing confidence that the wheel is firmly planted. Combine with wide hub flanges to provide better spoke-bracing angles which help to increase the lateral stiffness.
Torsional windup –
Zipp uses a 32 spoke count to maximize torsional stiffness to handle high pedaling torque efficiently.
Radial Compliance –
When you hit a rock, the system is designed to act as a shock absorber. Zipp’s MOTO Technology allows the rim to flex, which absorbs the impact energy and spreads it away from the impact zone for increased durability. In essence, more of the rim carries the load from the impact.
“Ankle” Compliance –
Imagine a runner rounding a sharp turn, the ankle naturally flexing to maintain grip as the runner leans. The rim can locally flex to stay parallel to the ground during cornering, which increases traction much like a human ankle. This ability to twist locally allows it to deflect during single bead impacts without the rider getting bounced off line.
Durability and ride quality –
3ZERO MOTO rim strength and impact resistance is maximized by adding compliance in the system, allowing better distribution of stress. As for ride quality, the finished wheel deflects as much as three times more than most box-section carbon wheels. The extra compliance behaves like extra suspension, but it also spreads the impact energy over a larger area. This also benefits the rider in the form of pinch flat prevention.
LIFETIME WARRANTY
Zipp is confident in the durability that MOTO Technology™ provides. Each 3ZERO MOTO wheelset or rim includes a lifetime warranty for product issues that happen during your gnarliest Trail or Enduro use. Lifetime warranty valid for original owner and is not transferable.
