SRAM's New Patent Hints at Smart Zipp Wheels with Real-Time Tech
SRAM's recent patent suggests the development of advanced Zipp wheels featuring a new integrated "Smart Wheel Accessory" that goes beyond the current TyreWiz tire pressure sensor. This new design, embedded within the rim, aims to enhance aerodynamics and reduce interference from tire sealant. The smart accessory could potentially measure various data points such as tire pressure, wheel speed, and rim health, offering insights for product development and optimal ride conditions. However, the patent's approval and market release remain uncertain.
