Until July of 2005, the Zipp 909 held the record for the fastest ever Time Trial, achieved by Rik Verbrugge at the Giro d'Italia. For the past 6 years, this record has stood untouched by the best in the world. Until 2005, that is, when David Zabriskie of Team CSC scorched the course in the first Stage of the 2005 Tour de France riding the fastest Time Trial ever on the Zipp 999 wheelset. How fitting that the 999 should break the 909's world record.

The 999 is an all speed, all performance, no compromise, go as fast as you are physically capable-kind of wheelset. It is the result of literally a life-time of effort, chasing seconds and fractions of seconds, always looking for an edge just a little further out of reach, never being totally content with our achievements, always hungry for more. It has already proven to be the fastest wheelset in the world - it will take you to speeds you never knew that you had in you. If you are serious about tears-in-the-corner of your eye kind of speed, you are our kind of cyclist, and the 999 is the wheelset you have been waiting for.
