Full ceramic wheel bearings would be an amazing way to reduce friction in hubs.
The hubs can be optioned with ceramic kogel bearings.
In most bearings the grease is the main source of friction.
Zipp wheels are built with total system efficiency in mind.
A tiny percentage reduction in friction here can equate to a worthwhile power saving but when you re only turning at 300 rpm as you do on a bicycle a small percentage increase in efficiency will make a negligible change to your power output.
