Welcome to the finale of the Zipp Speed Podcast’s four-part series on our Total System Efficiency approach to wheel design. This episode focuses on the fourth and final barrier to speed identified by TSE, Vibration Loss. What’s vibration loss? In basic terms, the rougher the road, the more difficult it is to go fast. New hookless and tubeless Zipp wheels mitigate vibration loss and the other three TSE barriers to speed: wind resistance, rolling resistance, and gravity (or weight).

Those who appreciate the science behind bike tech will love this episode as Zipp’s Dan Lee talks with Senior Advanced Development Engineer David Morse. If you love this, please also listen to the three previous episodes on Zipp TSE.
