The 101's centrepiece is the first fully toroidal aluminium rim, developed in the wind tunnel with a proprietary profile curve extending across the braking surfaces. With this patented design, the 30mm-deep 101 can exceed the aerodynamic performance of V-shaped rims with much deeper aero profiles. And no shallow-profile design comes close to the 101 in the wind tunnel or on the road, where the 101 can save up to 42 seconds over 40km compared to the industry's benchmark aluminium wheelset. Creating the 101 required developing new technologies to conduct wind tunnel testing using structural prototypes with fully inflated clincher tyres. This makes the resulting test data more accurate and realistic than ever before. After Zipp's engineers honed in on the fastest shape, the manufacturing process required its own set of innovations for rolling, welding, and machining the 101's precisely curved toroidal profile. With a maximum width of 23.75mm to complement most common tyre sizes, the bulged profile of the 101 smoothes airflow around the wheel more effectively than typical, narrow rim designs. The 101's wide platform also resists pinch flatting, improves lateral stiffness, and provides stable handling without tyre "squirm" on rough surfaces. Because the rim is narrower at the hook bead than in the middle, the 101 can be used safely with tyres as narrow as 21mm, unlike other wide-profile clincher rims. The maximum recommended tyre width for the 101 is 35mm. The 101 is built by hand in Speedway, Indiana, with the same components as Zipps top-of-the-line carbon wheelsets and by the same individually trained builders. The 101 is laced with 18 front and 20 rear Sapim CX-Ray spokes and Zipp's 88 and 188 hubs with Swiss steel bearings. The hubs are manufactured in Indiana using the proprietary Z310.9 alloy, and feature oversize 17mm axles and adjustable bearing preload.
