Wider Carbon Fibre Rim for Better Aerodynamics The 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc brake wheels were designed using real-world direct measurements (vs. primarily wind tunnel or computer simulation). This included Zipp’s RollingRoad™ Testing Protocol. 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. Faster Performance These wheels are faster, lighter and more capable over varied terrain, whether the surface is tarmac in all its conditions or no tarmac at all. Deeply rooted in Zipp’s drive to conquer the Spring Classics, the revised 303 Firecrest is redesigned with a purpose-made approach for the demands of modern road bikes. This is the first Zipp wheelset to feature TSE™ Technology (Total System Efficiency). The 303 Firecrest’s precise rim layup results in greater all-around efficiency for greater speed through reduced wind resistance, rolling resistance, a lower weight, increased durability and vibration losses. More Comfortable Ride on Mixed Terrain 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 reduces rider fatigue. This is because the ride is smoother over imperfect surface conditions as the tyre and wheel system absorbs the shaking, not the rider. At the centre of the 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc brake is a versatile and durable hubset, the German-engineered ZR1 DB. This hubset features 66 points of engagement for quicker pedalling response. The 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake wheelset is for those after greater efficiency for greater speed. The payoff is a smoother, faster ride. Additional Features: Updated Zipp graphics and cosmetic identity that scream speed Versatile endurance wheelset for the modern road bike with tubeless and hookless rim profile Lower in weight - a 300g weight reduction than its predecessor, making it nimble and fast Tubeless Made Easy, optimised tyre bed sign allows for simple tool-free installation and removal with no need for an air compressor to seat the tyre Ultra-wide 25mm rim profile creates a better tyre interface to be fast on or off the road 40mm rim depth makes a light and aero wheel in every situation ZR1 DB hub is engineered in Germany with better seal design for improved durability and quicker response with 66 points of engagement Ships with 12mm front and rear end caps Centre locking rotor interface Lockring is included with the wheels Lifetime Warranty

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.

To put every single Watt you've got to good use you need to find the most efficient position possible. The Vuka Fit Software allows you to use your dimensions to tailor your position to perfection. With a slightly concave nose section and forward-swept arms, the new airfoil shape reduces drag, stiffens the bar, and complies with all UCI regulations. Meanwhile, we’ve added a host of ergonomic features. Most notably, the VukaBull is now available with a choice of zero or 40mm drop. The clamp area now provides an extra 10mm of lateral adjustment for clip-on aero bars, and the grips have been angled up slightly for a more natural wrist angle when climbing and sprinting. The VukaBull weighs 200g and is available with zero or 40mm drop in a 42cm (outside-to-outside) width.
45mm Deep The 45mm deep 303 Firecrest delivers unmatched aero performance when used with the wide tires that today’s riding demands. Zipp has achieved this with a wide disc-specific rim design featuring ABLC dimples extending all the way to the outer edge of the rim. In addition to achieving AeroBalance™, the industry-leading crosswind stability and low aerodynamic drag that defines all Firecrest wheels, the new 303 Firecrest delivers lower drag than the outgoing version when used with 25c or wider tyres. The aerodynamic performance gap between a narrower rim and the new 303 grows even larger with 28c and wider tyres thanks to a smoother transition between the tyre’s profile and Zipp's new rim shape. Tubeless Rim Designed from the start as a tubeless rim, the 303 Firecrest features a rim bed made with internal ridges to lock the tyre’s bead in place, ensuring secure performance, even when ridden at lower tyre pressures. Setup tubeless and emblazoned with your choice of three colour decal options (optional extra), 303 Firecrest wheels are as alluring as they are easy to use. And should you choose to run tubed tyres, the new 303 is fully compatible. Durable Carbon Layup A new carbon fibre layup keeps weight low while maintaining the 303’s legendary durability. The rim’s lightweight design allows the 303 to glide up the steepest climbs while their robust 77D front hub, paired with 24 Sapim® CX-Ray spokes, keep the wheel stiff and responsive. To ensure compatibility with any bike, Zipp's versatile 77D hub comes with swappable end caps to work with QR’s and thru-axles, including 12x100mm and 15x100mm front thru-axles. And like all Zipp carbon wheels, the new 303 Firecrest is laid up, moulded, drilled and assembled in Indianapolis, USA. Built to take you to places you’ve never been, the 303 Firecrest® Tubeless Carbon Cincher will go the distance. It’ll just take less time. Each Wheel Includes: Zipp Tubeless valve extender and valve-core wrench Zipp rim tape (factory taped) Zipp Tangente quick-release skewer Zipp thru-axle end caps
Top fitters are constantly devising new methods to maximize and balance these goals. Designed using feedback from top fitters, Zipp’s Vuka Carbon Extensions give you all the options needed to optimize your position and go for the win or your personal best: Vuka Carbon Evo 70 and 110 extensions Vuka Evo extensions decrease drag by starting airflow over the body sooner while keeping the arms and wrists in a comfortable, relaxed position. The Evo shape, with a 20mm inward roll and multi-radius bend, is now available for the first time in carbon, allowing for even more complex shaping and lighter weight. Vuka Race Carbon Extension The Vuka Race Carbon Extension was designed using data compiled from thousands of fit sessions with recreational and professional cyclists and triathletes by the world’s best fitters. The Vuka Race bend places the wrists at a more natural bend to help riders remain in their tuck to optimize aerodynamics.
