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

Riders seeking a strong durable and lightweight wheelset for rugged road and gravel adventures will find this 650B/27.5 diameter wheel with wider rims a perfect choice. It makes no compromises on responsiveness durability and ease of use.The lightweight aluminum rims feature ISM4D technology which strategically removes material from the rim where it’s not needed but keeps it around the spokes where tension is applied. Double butted spokes further reduce weight and make the wheel feel more responsive. The spokes have an aero elliptical shape that can save 5 watts of energy while maintaining your speed. Super-wide rims (25mm internal) are compatible with tubeless tires up to 64mm to absorb road shocks and vibrations. You get 5cm of “tire travel” to cushion your ride and the smaller-diameter rims allow you to retain the agile handling you want with a drop-bar bike.Our UST system has been improved with a new rim bed shape that makes it easier than ever to install and change tires. Fore technology attaches the spokes to the rim without the need to drill the upper rim bed so no tape is required. No hassles no added weight. Our new Infinity hub platform optimizes spoke lacing with highly controlled tension for maximum power transfer and the Instant Drive 360 freewheel coupled with our automatic bearing preload adjustment (QRM Auto) provides fast engagement stiffness and added durability. The wheels use center lock brake rotors and are available with Shimano or SRAM XD-Road driver bodies and can convert to Campagnolo with an optional driver body. The front hub is a 12mm thru-axle that can convert to 15mm or quick release. The rear is a 12x142 and can also convert to quick release. Key benefits Traction rolling efficiency and confidence on all types of terrain Wider 650B/27.5 rims let you run larger high-volume tires and still maintain the responsive handling of a normal road bike 5cm of plush “tire travel” improves traction and comfort prevents pinch flats and lets you dial in the perfect tire pressure for the terrain UST Tubeless compatibility for lower rolling resistance Superlight and durable ISM4D rim is only 440g Patented lightweight aero spokes Automatic bearing preload (QRM Auto) requires no adjustment and guarantees long-term durability Fore drilling doesn't require the use of rim tape - 30g saved per wheel Laterally stiff and vertically compliant for a dynamic ride quality Fore technology keeps the rim upper bridge solid to make the rim stiffer 17mm axle and new hub design ID360 freewheel technology is 12mm compatible convertible to quick release (15mm axle option through axle replacement) Rims Material: Maxtal Tire: UST Tubeless and tubetype Disc brake specific profile SUP welding technology Fore tapeless tubeless technology UST tubeless technology Weight reduction: ISM 4D Internal width: 25 mm Hookless profile Height: 22 mm ETRTO size : 584x25TSS Spokes Count: 24 front and rear Nipples: Fore integrated aluminum Material: steel Shape: straight pull elliptical aero double butted (patented) Lacing: front and rear crossed 2 contactless Delivered with User guide UST valve and accessories Multifonction adjustment wrench (delivered with rear wheel) Intended use Recommended tire sizes: 28 to 64 mm (11 to 25) ASTM CATEGORY 2 : road and offroad with jumps less than 15cm For a longer longevity of the wheel Mavic recommends that the total weight supported by the wheels doesn't exceed 120kg bike included Max Pressure: see indication on wheel and tire If they differ use the lowest of the 2 Minimum and maximum allowed tyre width: see indication on wheel Maximum tyre pressure: 41bar/59PSI with a 28mm tyre - 245bar/36PSI with a 64mm tyre Hubs Axle material: aluminum Front and rear bodies: aluminum Instant Drive 360 freewheel technology Rear: Quick Release 12x142 and 12x135 compatible Front: Quick release 12x100 and 15x100 through axle compatible QRM Auto bearing preload technology Infinity hubs Compatibility Freewheel: Shimano/Sram convertible to Campagnolo ED11 N3W and XD-R with optional driver bodies Rear axle: 12mm thru axle convertible to Quick Release with optional adapters and axle replacement Front axle: 12mm thru axle easily convertible to quick release with optional adapters Convertible to 15mm with complete axle replacement Versions Disc standard: Center Lock® only Freewheel: Shimano/Sram or XD-Road Compatible Adapters and freewheel bodies 12 to 9mm front adapter for quick release (V2680301) 15mm axle (V2373501) ID360 Shimano / Sram Light freewheel body (V3850101) ID360 Campagnolo freewheel body (V3440101) ID360 XD-R freewheel body (V2580101) ID360 Shimano / Sram freewheel body (V3430101) 15mm axle (LVXXXXXX) 12 to 9mm rear adapter for quick release (V2510801 (with axle V2373401) ID360 N3W freewheel body (V4270101) Information on specified weight The weight of the wheels is announced at +/-5% in XD/XD-R and Center Lock version without quick release nor valve nor rim tape

No stranger to winning awards, accolades and Enduro World Series (EWS) races, this E-MTB suspension fork is built to perform everywhere from big backcountry routes to the EWS circuit. Featuring a new design inside-and-out, this model is part of Fox Suspension's Performance Series and includes an anodised finish on its upper tubes for extra protection against wear and corrosion. It's also equipped with Boost axle spacing for additional stiffness, making it ideal for modern enduro riding. Coming complete with a Float EVOL air spring and a GRIP damper with three-position on-the-fly adjustability, this E-bike-ready fork provides a wide range of customisation, so you can benefit from a more rider-tuned feel. E-MTB Fork with FIT GRIP Damper Inspired from moto, the GRIP damper uses Fox Suspension's FIT sealed cartridge technology combined with a coil-sprung, independent floating piston. GRIP allows excess oil to purge through specially designed ports at the top of the damper to maintain consistent damping and increase durability. Float EVOL Air Spring EVOL technology increases negative air spring volume, optimising small bump sensitivity. EVOL’s linear spring curve delivers plushness off the top, extra mid-stroke support, and more tuneable bottom-out progression. The benefits of EVOL are further enhanced by Fox Suspension's Lower Leg channels and Bleeders (push-button bleeders available separately, which both function to reduce air pressure captured in the lower legs, allowing the EVOL air spring to operate freely without unintended interference. Technologies: Performance Series: Performance Series forks retain the same black anodized 7000 series aluminum upper tubes as Performance Elite, except paired with a GRIP damper. Push-button bleeders are not included but can be purchased separately. Adjustments: Three on-the-fly compression damping positions Open, Medium, Firm. Additional micro-adjust between settings Detents. Low-speed rebound 10 clicks. Floating Axle: Floating axles might look similar to other axles, but in fact they offer a distinct performance advantage due to their unique ability to match the exact width of the fork’s wheel mounting surface precisely to the front hub flange spacing, thus creating perfect chassis alignment and eliminating unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs. Floating axles provide much smoother suspension movement throughout the entire range of the fork’s travel, notably improving sensitivity and overall ride quality. The all-new 36 and 38 come equipped with a new quick-release lever operated patent-pending floating axle system, combining the benefit of a floating axle with the ease of a tool-free quick-release. With this system, spacing is locked in via a floating sleeve, allowing repeated front wheel removal and reinstallation while maintaining perfect fork alignment. Floating sleeve positioning comes preset from the factory so if you are unsure of how to operate the floating axle system or simply don’t want to bother with it, you can just install the front wheel and get on with your ride. Lower Leg Bypass Channels: As a fork compresses, the air volume within the lower legs decreases, increasing air pressure. The more the fork compresses, the more pressure increases. This effect can have the unintended consequence of preventing full travel from being achieved. Fox Suspension's lower leg channels help alleviate this issue by dramatically increasing air volume within the lower legs and thereby reducing the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping. Another benefit of these channels is that lower leg bath oil is circulated to the upper reaches of the lower legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel. Lower Leg Arch: Stiffness-to-weight is the ultimate metric for bicycle design. Engineers invest countless hours poring over every ounce of material in an effort to optimize this critical ratio. Fox Suspension's lower leg design pulls out all the stops, shaving every possible gram while making sure not to compromise stiffness or strength requirements of modern enduro and gravity style riding. Modern frame designs and geometry trends require modern suspension design solutions. The arch design of the all-new 36, 38, and 40 is designed to pair perfectly with modern Enduro and Downhill bikes. Head tube profiles have grown larger and larger, and fork offsets shorter and shorter. Fox Suspension's arch shape takes this need into account by jutting forward to provide ample headtube clearance at full compression. State-of-the-art computer modeling techniques helped us to create an organic lower leg shape that optimizes stiffness with the absolute minimal amount of material. - Increased crown diameter to match modern frame shape profiles. - Optional mudguard with sturdy 4-point direct-mount attachment protects upper tubes and dust wipers from dirt and debris.
