Product Details

Overview & Technology

The Zipp Super-9 Track B1 is a velodrome-focused clincher front wheel engineered for pure track speed. Built around a full carbon rim with a track-specific carbon laminate and a small-hook tire bead, the Super-9's shape remains flat from its widest point to the hub and uses a proprietary textured surface to reduce aerodynamic drag at high speeds. Why it matters: the narrow 21 mm internal width and 27.5 mm external profile are optimized for 23 mm tires—the combination Zipp tested as fastest on the boards. The carbon layup and bolt-on ZR1 Track hub deliver a stiff, responsive wheel that keeps your line stable and your acceleration immediate lap after lap.

Key Features & Construction

Materials & build: The rim is full carbon with a track-specific laminate and a small-hook bead designed for aero efficiency and secure clincher seating under track pressures. The wheel is tubeless-ready but built around a narrow, velodrome-focused internal width to pair with high-pressure 23 mm tubular-style clinchers or modern clinchers where allowed. • Rim external width: 27.5 mm — aerodynamic, stable profile • Rim internal width: 21 mm — tuned for 23 mm tires • Weight: 1000 g (front) — light for rapid acceleration • Surface: Proprietary textured treatment to reduce drag across yaw angles • Hub: ZR1 Track with bolt-on axle (100 mm front)

Fit, Compatibility & Specs

The Super-9 Track B1 is offered in front and rear variants. This front model ships with a bolt-on axle and 100 mm hub spacing. Rear variants are available with 120 mm spacing and a fixed freehub body for fixed-gear track use. Valve type is Presta and the rim is tubeless ready, though track rules and tire choice often dictate running high-pressure clinchers or tubulars depending on event and velodrome regulations. Key compatibility notes: the rim uses a small-hook bead profile tailored to track tires, so pair it with tires approved for small-hook beads. The ZR1 Track hub and bolt-on axle require standard track tool sizes for installation; confirm skewer or axle hardware for your frame or track stand setup. Wheel diameter is 700C / 622 ISO.

Who This Wheel Is For

The Super-9 Track B1 is built for serious track racers, sprinters and pursuit riders who demand the fastest possible front wheel on the velodrome. If you race in national-level track events, train at high speed on the boards, or want a front wheel that reduces aerodynamic penalties through corners and transitions, this wheel is a tuned, race-oriented choice. It is less suited to everyday road use, rough roads or gravel. Choose the Super-9 if your primary rides are on smooth, indoor or outdoor velodromes and you want a proven, aero-optimized carbon front wheel that integrates with fixed-gear track setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Super-9 Track B1 on the road?

While physically possible, the Super-9 Track B1 is optimized for velodrome use: narrow internal width, small-hook bead and a textured aero profile tuned around 23 mm track tires. On rough roads you'll lose ride comfort and may risk tire compatibility or bead seating issues. For mixed road and track use, a purpose-built road wheelset is a better everyday option.

Is the rim tubeless-compatible for velodrome setups?

The rim is listed as tubeless-ready, but most velodrome racers run high-pressure clinchers or tubulars depending on local regulations. If you plan to run tubeless, confirm the specific tire you choose is compatible with the small-hook bead profile and test at track pressures in a controlled setting.

What tires should I pair with this wheel?

Zipp tested the Super-9 as fastest with 23 mm tires on the velodrome; choose a high-quality 23 mm track clincher or tubular approved for your velodrome. Ensure the tire bead matches the small-hook rim profile and that pressure recommendations are followed for safety and optimal aero performance.

Does the front wheel accept quick releases or only bolt-on axles?

This Super-9 Track B1 front variant uses a bolt-on axle with 100 mm hub spacing. It does not use a quick-release skewer. Check your fork's dropout interface and have appropriate axle hardware on hand for installation.

What maintenance does the ZR1 Track hub require?

ZR1 Track hubs are serviceable; regular inspection and periodic bearing servicing or replacement will preserve rolling smoothness. Follow Zipp's recommended intervals for bearing service, particularly if used in outdoor velodromes where moisture and dust can affect bearing life.

Is the rear version available as a fixed gear?

Yes. The Super-9 Track B1 is offered in a rear variant with 120 mm spacing and a fixed freehub body (fixed gear) suitable for track rear-wheel applications. Verify your frame spacing and track rules before selecting front or rear variants.

Buying Guide

When choosing a dedicated track front wheel, prioritize aerodynamics, stiffness and the tire profile the wheel is optimized for. The Super-9 Track B1 is a specialist piece: its small-hook bead, textured surface and rim geometry are tuned to produce the lowest drag with 23 mm tires on a velodrome. Confirm your fork spacing, axle type and the velodrome's permitted tire types before purchase. If you race multiple disciplines or ride on the open road frequently, consider whether a more versatile road wheelset would serve better day-to-day. For pure track racers and sprinters looking for every marginal gain on the boards, the Super-9 is a top-tier choice.
