A high-quality rim today - whether made of aluminum or carbon - has one or more hollow chambers. Rims in a U-profile without a hollow chamber are nowadays almost only found on vintage bikes or on very inexpensive bicycles. This is where Zipp comes in to turn this dogma on its head. The brand new Zipp 3ZeroMoto rim has an inner rim width of 30 millimetres and is completely hollow-free. The rim is made of carbon and designed for trail and enduro use and features a two-layer rim tape to prevent the spokes from damaging the inner tube in the event of heavy impacts.

Zipp drew inspiration for the new rim design from the motocross wheel and cites reasons for the new design: the rider is less fatigued due to the good-natured character of the rim, the risk of punctures is significantly reduced and lower tire pressure for more grip is possible.

At the same time, Zipp also offers wheels with the installation standard with the impressive name Boost: Super Boost Plus, meaning 157 millimeters. The wheel size in which the rims are available is: 29 and 27.5 inches.
