We know they roll good thanks to Tom's testing:

Zipp Tangente SLSpeed 27C Tubular = .0028, 26W for pair @ 40kph, width = 26.8mm
Zipp Tangente Speed 25C Clincher = .0030, 28W for pair @ 40kph, width = 24.8mm
Zipp Tangente SLSpeed 24C Tubular = .0032, 29W for pair @ 40kph, width = 23.5mm
Schwalbe IronMan Tubular 22C = .0032, 30W for pair @ 40kph, width = 21.7mm
Zipp Tangente Speed 23C Clincher = .0033, 31W for pair @ 40kph, width = 23.8mm
Continental GP4000S 23C = .0034, 32W for pair @ 40kph, width = 24.8mm
Zipp Tangente Course 25C Clincher = .0035, 32W for pair @ 40kph, width = 24.7mm
Zipp Tangente Course 23C Clincher = .0035, 33W for pair @ 40kph, width = 23.8mm
Old Zipp Tangente 23C Tubular = .0045, 41W for pair @ 40kph, width = 22.4mm

I have a set of each and will be riding them as daily tires to see how durable they are.

Has anyone see any aero data on them?

I have been running them for about a month now. They mate very well with wide rims - seem to have a clean transition from tire to rim. I suspect good aero.

Unfortunately, nothing public yet. I will share as soon as I am able. For what it's worth, they won't tell me yet either, because they want my feedback on the tires to be unbiased by knowing aero numbers.

Eager to hear what you have to say. Been running them on my txt bike this year and hope they are fast.

as far as the speed 23 goes, I can say as fast as a 20mm SS at 0deg on an 808fc & P3 or a hair better than a 4000s and at 7.5deg 2w slower than 20mm ss and 1 w slower than 4000s. need to figure in the noise on that

That's excellent information. Thank you!

I have been running these on my TT bike and was curious if I should keep rolling them or try my supersonics.

Rappster,
any updates on your experience with the tires? I've been riding the Speed 23 front, 25 rear, on my Dimond and thus far they have been great! Not cuts or flats, and they seem fast!
