Mountain biking is more than just sport - it is a passion that is constantly evolving. Equipment demands continue to increase, especially in the world of cross-country racing and trail riding. Zipp says it was inspired by this pursuit of maximum performance and agility and is introducing the 1Zero Hitop Sw and 1Zero Hitop S MTB wheelsets. These innovative wheels are designed to increase speed while maximizing flexibility on the trail. Here you can find more information about these supposedly outstanding products and how they can take your trail experience to a new level.
Zipp 1Zero Hitop Sw
The Zipp 1Zero Hitop Sw MTB wheelset is designed to make you faster. Flexibility is crucial on the trail as modern cross-country races are becoming increasingly tough and demanding. It is no longer enough for an XC wheelset to be stiff. Instead, a wheelset should feel alive. The 1Zero Hitop Sw carbon rim adapts to the terrain thanks to the Hitop technology for the carbon layup developed by Zipp. The result, according to Zipp, is a lightweight XC wheel that carries speed through all sections of the trail, rocks, roots and bumps, while providing the durability required for a trail bike with up to 130mm of travel. A flexible balance bike provides more confidence. You don't have to work so hard to get up to speed or fight with your bike when the going gets tough. The 1Zero Hitop Sw is also equipped with the TyreWiz tire pressure monitoring system so you always have the right tire pressure for optimal performance. The Zm2 Sl hub set is one of the lightest on the market and ensures that you accelerate quickly with the 1ZERO HITOP SW and can pedal faster after corners.

TYREWIZ 2.0
Tires are the connection between your bike and the road or trail. Therefore, it is not surprising that optimal tire pressure directly improves comfort, rolling resistance and speed. Redesigned for greater accuracy and better compatibility with different rim heights, TyreWiz 2.0 delivers precise, real-time pressure data for your best driving performance. Lightweight and durable, the TyreWiz 2.0 uses LED lights to indicate when tire pressure is out of target range and warns of under- or over-inflation. Optimal tire pressure is a crucial factor for maximum speed and performance, especially on modern wheels. With TyreWiz 2.0 you can make decisions that affect rolling resistance, traction, tire wear and rider comfort. TyreWiz 2.0 also connects to the SRAM AXS app to provide personalized tire pressure. With a universal rim adapter and multiple valve lengths, the device sits flat on road bike or MTB rims. Since the standard air pump only has an accuracy of +/-5%, TyreWiz 2.0 removes all hurdles by taking the guesswork out of tire pressure and making you faster.
Price: approx. 145€ for 1 set of sensors with accessories, approx. 35€ for different valve stems (different lengths, depending on the rim)
Highlights
- +/-2% accuracy at 0,1 PSI resolution
- Waterproof and dustproof (IPX7)
- Personalized tire pressure in the AXS smartphone app for iOS and Android
- Affordable and widely available CR1632 battery that lasts up to 300 hours.
