Black Inc ZERO
For time trialling and triathlon, the disc wheel is king. The Black Inc ZERO combines incredible speed with a crafted carbon fibre structure that delivers high strength and great ride quality.£2,100.00
Available on back-order
The ZERO was developed with and approved by our professional teams, and now has a number of victories to its name. It was designed using powerful CFD (computational fluid dynamics) software, essentially a virtual wind tunnel, and is capable of generating negative drag, often called ‘sailing’, in the right conditions.
The ZERO is made from a combination of Toray 30T and 40T pitch fibers arranged for an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. The rim and sides are co-molded together, then attached to the hub using both a mechanical interface and chemical bonding. The 23mm rim width pairs ideally with a 25mm tyre.
The ZERO is offered in a wide range of configurations. The disc-brake, tubeless-clincher ZERO is now the choice of pro teams and those on the latest bikes. A rim brake version is still offered in both tubular and tubeless for the huge number of rim brake TT/tri bikes that are still in use and which remain competitive.
- Superior speed combined with high crosswind stability
- Perfect for TT races
- CFD optimized rim profile
- UCI Professional Team Tested
