Zipp has equipped this model with tubeless tyre compatibility, so you can enjoy the benefits of superior stability and control as well as a lighter overall weight. Another highlight of this version is its disc brake compatibility, which means that you'll benefit from powerful and consistent braking performance during the most unpredictable of road conditions. Zipp’s 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake rear wheel is designed for the real world… a world of imperfect conditions, road surfaces, and elements where the bottom line is simple. Efficiency = speed. It’s faster, lighter, and more capable over varied terrain—whether the surface is pavement in all its conditions or no pavement at all. Deeply rooted in Zipp’s drive to conquer the Spring Classics, the 303 Firecrest is remade with a purpose-made approach for the demands of modern road bikes. When it comes to going fast on a bicycle, efficiency means reduced: Wind resistance, rolling resistance, rider fatigue, weight. Designed using real-world direct measurements (vs. primarily wind tunnel or computer simulation). The results were huge. Its rim is slightly more bulbous in design than its predecessor, with a 30mm outside width, a 25mm internal width, and a 40mm rim depth. The profile provides low drag and an improved transition between rim and tyre, boosting aero efficiency on the road. The wide rim stance also features less tyre deflection for reduced rolling resistance. The combination of the wider tyre, increased tyre volume, and lower tyre pressure helps to reduce rider fatigue by smoothing out the ride over imperfect pavement and road conditions—the tyre and wheel system absorbs the shaking, not the rider. At the centre of the 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc brake rear wheel is a versatile and durable hubset, the German-engineered ZR1 DB. This hubset features 66 points of engagement for quicker response. The 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake rear wheel is for dedicated cyclists who aspire to the latest in technology. Its competitors… in races, against peers, or simply conquering personal limits. This is about becoming faster and matching your motivation to the most advanced technology.

Zipp’s 303 Firecrest Tubeless rim-brake rear wheel is an all-arounder for a new era of road riding. It’s rich in heritage yet loaded with innovations. It’s as adept in the mountains as it is on rolling hills, windswept farm lanes, or ferocious field sprints. Tubeless Ready Road Bike Rear Wheel At Zipp, they never rest on laurels. This rear wheel features a 19mm internal width and is tubeless ready. That means you can run lower tyre pressure for greater cornering grip and compliance with reduced rolling resistance without the risk of pinch flats. Lightweight Carbon with ABLC Sawtooth Technology When it comes to pure speed, the 303 Firecrest Tubeless packs a serious punch. It’s lightweight with ABLC Sawtooth Technology, a complex dimpling pattern first developed for the brand's top-level NSW wheel lineup. This technology helps to achieve the optimization of low aerodynamic drag and crosswind stability, which they call AeroBalance. Rim Brake Compatible Zipp’s ShowStoppertextured braking surface delivers unrivalled rim braking performance in wet or dry conditions. At the center of the 303 Firecrest Tubeless rim brake is a new versatile and durable hub, the German-engineered ZR1. Item Top Features Continued: - Zipp graphics and cosmetic identity that scream speed - New ZR1 hub is engineered in Germany with better seal design for improved durability and quicker response with 66 points of engagement - Built with Sapim CX Sprint J-bend spokes - Tubeless ensuring secure performance even when ridden at lower tire pressures - Versatile 45mm rim profile that’s fast, stable and versatile - ABLC Sawtooth dimple design helps manage air flow around the rim, and contributes to create a faster, more stable wheel - Showstopper textured brake track delivers superior modulation and shortest stopping distances in wet and dry conditions - XDR or SRAM/Shimano driver bodies available to select - Ships with QR end caps, quick-release skewers - Campagnolo driver body sold separately Technologies: Showstopper: Our industry-leading Showstopper brake track continues to evolve and improve, providing unmatched stopping power and modulation regardless of weather conditions or the length of the descent. ABLC Sawtooth: ABLC Sawtooth dimple design helps manage air flow around the rim, and contributes to create a faster, more stable wheel. AeroBalance: Zipp’s sole mission is to help you go faster. That's why our wheels are race-ready before they're camera-ready. For years, Zipp has used a combination of testing methods – wind tunnel, CFD computer simulations, pro athlete evaluations, on-road testing, and the RollingRoad ride simulator – to refine aero performance to new levels of excellence. Over the decades of innovation, our engineers have learned to look beyond just focusing on simply reducing aero drag. Instead, the goal now is to reduce aero drag while also minimizing the effects of crosswinds on handling. This optimising of aero efficiency and crosswind stability became known internally at Zipp as AeroBalance. The approach began with Firecrest technology and has been advanced with the introduction of the NSW lineup, especially with the Sawtooth technology found in the 454 and 858 NSW. Sawtooth accomplishes this with a series of patented fin-shaped Hyperfoil nodes along the inner diameter of the rim that work together with our new HexFin ABLC dimples for improved airflow.

Zipp 454 NSW Carbon TL Rear Road Disc WheelDelivering fantastic speed, comfort and durability on every mile, this road bike rear wheel is equipped with a high-quality carbon rim construction and some of Zipp's finest technologies. Featuring a Sawtooth rim with Hyperfoil nodes and HexFin ABLC dimple pattern, this model is engineered for top aero and crosswind-stability performance with an undulating 53/58mm rim depth. Wind tunnel, CFD and real-world tested, its patented shape achieves something conventional aero wheels cannot by simultaneously reducing both aerodynamic drag and side force for the ultimate in AeroBalance.Tubeless Ready Carbon Road Bike Rear WheelZipp's ultimate all-around speed weapon is now tubeless ready. This means you get all of the aero advantages of the 454 NSW Tubeless Disc-brake wheel with the added benefit of increased cornering grip and compliance with reduced rolling resistance. Its 19mm internal width is also optimised for running wider tubeless tyres at reduced air pressure for improved stability, greater comfort and fewer chances of flats or punctures.Centre Lock Disc Brake CompatibilityReady for wherever your next ride takes you, this rear wheel is kitted out with Centre Lock disc brake compatibility for powerful and consistent braking operation. Keeping you in full control of the ride, the Zipp 454 NSW Carbon TL Disc Brake CLock Rear 2021 is a perfect upgrade for riders who want to enjoy greater speed, aerodynamics and an overall lighter weight on their road bike.Features: Rim Material: Carbon Rim Finish: Unidirectional (UD) Fibre Rim Graphics: Impress Technology Axle Size: 12x142mm Use: Road Rim Type: Clincher Rim Profile: Symmetrical with Hooks Inner Rim Width: 19mm Hub: Cognition DB with scalloped edge hubshell design Freehub: Multiple options available to select Drive Side Spoke Length: 248mm, 254mm Non Drive Side Spoke Length: 252mm, 254mm Tyre Compatibility: Tube-type or tubeless tyres Tubeless Ready: Yes Size: 700c Brake Compatibility: Centre Lock disc brake Single or Pair: Single Weight: 955gTechnologies: Cognition Hub: With the Cognition hub's Axial Clutch technology, Zipp reduced drag by disengaging the ratchet mechanism when coasting. So you can approach corners at higher speeds, and ultimately, save time. A star-flanged straight-pull hubshell design on the rear hub distributes the load placed on the hub flange away from the bearings. Zipp also developed a unique scalloped edge hubshell design for the front hub (front wheel available separately). This scalloped design maintains the bearing bore diameter when high radial spoke tension is applied. That means you get bearings that quietly stay in place, roll faster, last longer, and provide a laterally stiffer hub. Impress: Zipp has employed ImPress graphics technology on this model, which prints graphics directly on the wheel, to help allow the dimples to do what they were design to do - help control vortex shedding, the rate at which air sheds off the wheel. Managing this is crucial to stability. Sawtooth: SawTooth is the name given to Zipp NSW's patented variable depth 53/58mm rims. Developed utilising the principles of the emerging science of biomimicry, Zipp engineers began the rigorous aero development process of SawTooth utilising the wind tunnel, CFD, and real-world testing. The result is a rim shape that takes nature's most elegant design solutions and combines engineering precision to deliver a wheel that performs unlike any made before. This patented rim shape achieves something conventional aero wheels cannot; it simultaneously reduces both aerodynamic drag and side force for the ultimate in AeroBalance. Sawtooth accomplishes this with a series of patented fin-shaped Hyperfoil nodes along the inner diameter of the rim that work together with HexFin ABLC dimples for improved airflow. The result is Zipp's highest performing wheel ever released with both aero-drag reduction and reduced side force at all wind yaw angles. This is important because higher wind yaw angles are where bike handling is most affected by the wind. Axial Clutch: With Cognition's Axial Clutch technology, Zipp reduced drag by disengaging the ratchet mechanism when coasting. With less internal hub drag a rider can pedal less when drafting in a headwind, achieve higher speeds when coasting in an aero tuck, or opt to stop pedalling a moment sooner before entering a corner and bank that wattage for use exiting the corner. Axial Clutch technology also allows riders to maintain speed through corners that don't require braking input, thereby increasing corner exit speeds. Inside the Axial Clutch mechanism Zipp use magnets, rather than steel springs, to move and engage the lightweight Metal Injection Molded (MIM) ratchet rings for unmatched reliability and consistent operation. With 36 points of engagement that all interlock simultaneously, there isn't a more secure freehub mechanism on the market. XDR Freehub Option: The XDR driver body option is available to select separately. It is a universal mounting system for cassettes that incorporate cogs with fewer than 11 teeth. It allows for lighter and more versatile drivetrains without requiring new rear axle standards, cassette tools or hub redesigns. The XDR interface is 1.85mm longer than XD and is designed for road hub applications. XDR driver bodies are compatible with all XD cassettes when the cassette is installed with a 1.85mm spacer.Manufacturer's Part Numbers: Shimano/SRAM 10/11 speed: ZPWH8617000 SRAM XD XDR 10/11/12 speed: ZPWH8617001Buy Zipp Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Zipp 858 NSW Carbon Tubeless Rear WheelZipp's ultimate aero weapon is now tubeless ready. That means you get the many aero advantages of the 858 NSW Tubeless rim-brake rear wheel with the added benefit of increased cornering grip and compliance with reduced rolling resistance. The rear wheels' 19mm internal width is optimised for running wider tyres at reduced air pressure. The 858 NSW's undulating 77/82mm-deep rim shape, the brand's proprietary Sawtooth profile, takes design cues from nature for Zipp's highest performing wheel when it comes to aero efficiency and crosswind stability. These structures inspired Zipp advanced development engineers to, for the first time, systematically apply biomimicry to solve the complex challenge of designing a wheel, with the undulating Hyperfoil nodes, that reduce both aerodynamic drag and side force. Simply put, the 858 NSW Tubeless is ideal for those focused on triathlon, time trials, or aggressive road riding.SawtoothSawTooth is the name given to Zipp NSW's patented variable depth 53/58mm rims.

ABLC Sawtooth: ABLC Sawtooth dimple design helps manage air flow around the rim, and contributes to create a faster, more stable wheel. AeroBalance: Zipp's sole mission is to help you go faster. That's why our wheels are race-ready before they're camera-ready. For years, Zipp has used a combination of testing methods - wind tunnel, CFD computer simulations, pro athlete evaluations, on-road testing, and the RollingRoad ride simulator - to refine aero performance to new levels of excellence. Over the decades of innovation, our engineers have learned to look beyond just focusing on simply reducing aero drag. Instead, the goal now is to reduce aero drag while also minimizing the effects of crosswinds on handling. This optimising of aero efficiency and crosswind stability became known internally at Zipp as AeroBalance. The approach began with Firecrest technology and has been advanced with the introduction of the NSW lineup, especially with the Sawtooth technology found in the 454 and 858 NSW.

Any offering from Zipp is certain to come with high expectations, and this version of the Zipp 303 S wheelset doesn’t disappoint. With this edition, the wheel building pioneers are touting not only the speed and low weight of their wheels, but also the durability and ability to fit wide tyres, making them suitable for on and off-road exploring. All this at the brand’s lowest price point ever means this is a product offering value for money, as well as high performance. This listing is for a complete wheelset, you can also buy the front and rear wheel separately. Lighter, Stronger, Faster The Zipp 303 S wheelset is intended to be versatile, equally suited to training and racing in a range of conditions. Whether you’re on the silky-smooth tarmac of Majorca, the bone-shaking pavé of Flanders, or the dusty plains of Kansas, these wheels cover them all. Boasting a 45mm-deep rim, coupled with a respectable total weight of 1530 grams, these wheels offer a great balance between aerodynamics and weight, ensuring you have the speed on the flats and the low weight needed for when the road tilts up. As a wheel intended for racing, this product is expectedly stiff, and you’d be hard pressed to notice any lateral flex under those big, decisive accelerations. Additionally, even the most weight conscious can rest assured they won’t be held back on the climbs and that they’re responsive enough for sprint finishes on the road — whether that finish line is a sanctioned road race or the café, it doesn’t matter! Bigger, Wider, Faster Known as pioneers in the wheel-building space, Zipp are on trend in terms of offering wider tyre options. With wider tyres you can run lower air pressures, which can increase comfort and grip in the corners; importantly, this amounts to more speed, particularly across rough terrain. Boasting a broader, hookless rim, the Zipp 303 S wheelset is optimised for a 28mm tyre on the road but will happily take up to 50mm tyres for gravel adventures. Stopping Power It has become almost the norm for wheels to come in disc-brake-only versions, and that’s exactly what you get here. Being equipped with disc brakes means that when you squeeze the brakes — regardless of the conditions — you can be confident you’ll get consistent stopping power. Lifelong Quality Filled with the highest-quality steel bearings, the hubs will run smooth and should stand the test of time. So confident in the durability of the 303 S wheelset, Zipp are offering a lifetime warranty.
