History
Ready? Zipfl Go!
The Zipflbob is a unique sled for girls and boys age 5 to 100 years, designed to ride on snow, grass, sand and water. It has a distinctive handle – the “Zipfl” – which is used for stability and turning. Made of sturdy plastic, the Zipflbob is one of the funnest and at the same time safest sports toys you can have to go downhill.
Although invented in the 1970ies, it was not before the 1990ies that the Zipflbob was rediscovered as a cool high-speed sled in Kitzbühel, Austria. This was the birth of Zipflbob-as a race sport.
The Zipflbob fan community has been constantly growing ever since and the first official Zipflbob Masters were held in 1999. The Zipflbob World Series was launched in 2003 and today competitions are held in 5 countries on 2 continents. Race categories include: Zipflbob Cross, Downhill, Speed, and Team Race.
And the Zipflbob is fast! One can easily reach speeds up to 100km/h (world record: 139km/h).
Thanks to its low center of gravity and the molded rails on the underside of its polyethylene frame, the Zipflbob is easy to maneuver, making it a fun sled for everyone.
Steering is done by leaning and shifting the body weight in the desired direction, and to break you simply pull the Ziplfbob back by its handle and dig your heels in the snow. The Zipflbob is compact in size and only weighs 2kg, so carrying it up the mountain for some exhilarating freeriding fun is easy.
Once you bob – you’ll never stop! Let’s ride the Zipflbob.
