Zipp 303 S Carbon Disc Front Road WheelTaking its design from the higher-spec Firecrest 303 model, this front wheel is ideal for modern "go anywhere" road bikes. Zipp has also updated this model with a wider rim to improve rider comfort, handling and aerodynamics. Expanding greatly on its heritage of conquering the Spring Classics, this 303 wheel maintains its ideal-for-every-terrain 45mm rim depth. However, this model adds a significantly wider internal width to provide greater performance and ride quality in almost every measurable way. Road bikes are more versatile than ever no matter the road surface, but just as fast as before. The 303 S offers an entirely new rim profile and design to optimise rider performance on this new breed of bike. This wheelset is tubeless compatible and designed for disc-brake bikes, allowing the ability to run wide tires at lower pressures for race-ready speed on or off the tarmac.45mm Deep Front WheelThe 303 S is among Zipp's lightest wheels, optimised for top aero performance with a 28mm tyre but capable of handling gravel tyres up to 50mm wide. The key innovation is in the 303 S's rim design. Its 45mm rim depth is the same as its predecessor, the 302 Disc brake. But its external rim width is 2mm wider, at 27mm, and its tyre bed is a full 7mm wider, at 23mm internal width. That rim platform is designed to be the fastest with a 28mm tyre. The wide rim optimises tyre profile to allow lower tyre pressure. That helps to reduce rolling resistance and provides a more compliant ride. The result of all this is a 10 watt savings vs. a top peer wheel in total power required to ride 40kph on a flat road with a 28mm tire, according to internal Zipp testing.This ground-breaking wheel also features all-new cosmetics, setting the rider apart from the pack, and comes at a very attractive price.Features: Rim Material: Carbon Fibre with updated Zipp graphics Brake Compatibility: Disc (centre lock) Rim Inside Width: 23mm Rim Profile: Symmetrical Rim Type: Clincher Rim Finish: UB Fibre / Bake-on Labels / Matte Clear Coat Spoke Type: CX-Sprint Spoke Count: 24 Spoke Pattern: 2-cross Nipple Material: Brass Axle Type: TA 12x100mm Bearing Type: Cartridge - Stainless Steel Driver Mechanism: 3 pawls leaf spring Tubeless Ready: Yes Hub: 76 DB hub with centre locking interfaceSingle or Pair: Single Weight: 711gBuy Zipp Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

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.

This rim features legendary Firecrest technology, providing outstanding aerodynamic performance, straight-line power transfer efficiency, great stability in crosswinds and is perfect for climbing due to its weight. They deliver precise handling and stability on adrenaline fuelled descents and snappy acceleration when putting the power down. Firecrest Design Benefits The fundamental benefits of the Firecrest design are that its shape moves the centre of air pressure backwards, giving the 82mm deep rim the crosswind stability of a much shallower rim. Also, the 26mm wide brake track (at centre) enables the Tubular tyre to achieve a wider, more stable profile without compromising rolling resistance. Exceptional Rolling Efficiency At the centre of this wheel is the Zipp 177 hub, which features unmatched durability and advanced bearing protection, with no bearing pre-load required. This hub provides exceptional rolling efficiency and a consistent performance output that you will be hardpressed to find a rival in the same wheel class.

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.

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.
