First launched in 2011, Zipp’s 404 Firecrest wheelsets are not only firmly established as one of the fastest wheels on the market, but also they have arguably helped shape the entire category of modern aerodynamic wheels. This iteration, to use the company’s term, is no less than a ‘Speed Weapon’; a ‘weapon’ that boasts a 58mm-deep rim and weighs less than ever at 1470g. It is now cheaper than before, making this a product that’s virtually a no brainer. Whether you’re looking for a wheelset fit for a Spring Classic, time trial, triathlon, or simply to compete against your mates on the weekend club run, this is an option which is hard to look past. Single Purpose: Speed Whereas the 303 Firecrest is Zipp’s premium all-rounder, which’ll happily serve its rider on or off road, the 404 is all about going fast. Somewhat unusually, the company aren’t claiming to have made a more aerodynamic rim, quite the opposite. As the rim is wider, the shape is actually less aerodynamic than the previous version. However, a multitude of other enhancements — what has been termed Total System Efficiency (TSE) — has enabled the developers to produce a faster-overall wheelset. In addition to examining how wind resistance affects the wheels, the effect of gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses have also been tested. Notably, the internal width of the rim is now wider at 23mm, and has been optimised for a tyre of 25–28mm — depending on rider size. This allows the tyre to be ran at a lower pressure and in turn means it can roll more smoothly over imperfect road surfaces, increasing efficiency and making for a faster wheel overall. The weight of the wheelset has also been reduced, increasing its speed and lessening the impact of gravity when going up-hill. All this adds up to a wheel that is faster on varied terrain and ever-changing riding conditions. Going Hookless Hookless rims are slowly becoming the de-facto choice for wheel makers, at least in the high-end wheel space. What this means is, instead of the traditional ‘hook’ on the inside of the rim, the wall is straight. This comes with a number of manufacturer-claimed benefits. For one, with a hookless rim, the transition between the tyre and rim is less abrupt, which helps to cut a cleaner shape through the air. As well as the performance benefits, hookless rims are also cheaper, easier, and more environmentally friendly to produce, all of which amounts to cost savings for the buyer. The Hub Spinning the wheelset is an all-new, German-engineered, versatile and durable hubset. Using a six-pawl freehub, with 66-point engagement, the hub has a pick-up angle of 5.45 degrees so that when you put the power down, it’s translated to forward motion almost instantly. Overall, if you are looking for just one wheelset for road riding, be that for racing or simply for fun, then the 404 Firecrest is a difficult option to look past.

Zipp’s 404 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake is the icon of speed with three decades of use. The 404’s heritage as Zipp’s icon of speed extends back decades, and its future is even brighter. At 58mm deep, the 404 Firecrest Tubeless is ideal for road races, time trial and triathlon, and gran fondos. The wheelset’s 23mm internal width is perfect for running wider tubeless tires at reduced air pressure. That is a vital component of Total System Efficiency, or TSE, an approach to speed on ever-changing roads and riding conditions. Specifically, TSE focuses on overcoming specific barriers to speed: wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses. Zipp’s ABLC Sawtooth Technology uses an intricate dimpling pattern to improve aero efficiency. Zipp’s use of hookless (straight side) rims in the 404 Firecrest is integral to Making You Faster. With hookless, the transition between the tire and the rim is more seamless and aero. Zipp’s hookless rims have more efficient resin distribution, which means lighter, stronger wheels. Outdoor testing commissioned by Zipp revealed the real-world gains of Zipp TSE. A bike- and-rider system weighing 85kg (187lbs) on the new 404 Firecrest with 25mm tires required 286 watts to maintain a speed of 40kph. That’s a 4-watt savings compared with the previous model 404 Firecrest. At the center of the 404 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake is a versatile and durable hubset, the German-engineered ZR1 DB. If you had to choose just one wheel for road riding and racing, the 404 Firecrest Tubeless Disc brake is a savvy and speedy choice.

Zipp’s 808 Firecrest® Carbon Clincher is pure engineering science. It has to be. To achieve speed with an 82mm rim depth is one thing, but to be fast but also high crosswind stability, well, that requires serious attention to detail. Yet that’s just what the 808 Firecrest Carbon Clincher accomplishes – speed with stability, what we call AeroBalance™ – which has made it a longtime favorite of triathletes, time trial specialists, as well as any cyclist in search of free speed. At Zipp, that search for aero efficiency is unrelenting. To that end, the latest iteration of the 808 Firecrest Carbon Clincher provides more speed, better control, and greater stopping power than its predecessor: More Speed: Revised rim profile for reduced aerodynamic drag developed by our advanced development team in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Greater AeroBalance™: ABLC™ Sawtooth™ Technology, a complex dimpling pattern first developed for our top-level NSW wheel lineup. This technology helps reduce high yaw drag while improving crosswind stability. This helps to achieve the optimization of low aerodynamic drag and crosswind stability, which we call AeroBalance. Better braking: Zipp’s ShowStopper™ textured braking surface delivers unrivalled rim braking performance in wet or dry conditions. Lighter Weight: The 808 Firecrest Carbon Clincher is 55 grams lighter than its previous iteration.
Zipp never fail disappoint with their wheels, and the Zipp 303 S disc rear wheel is no exception. In this series, the American brand have not only incorporated their trademark speed and low weight into the wheels, they're also touting the durability, versatility, and lower-than-usual price point. Boasting a 45 mm-deep rim profile and an ability to fit wide tires, this is a rear wheel equally suited to fast bunch rides as it is exploring off road. This listing is for a rear wheel only. You can also buy the complete wheelset or the front wheel separately. Faster, Lighter, Stronger The Zipp 303 S rear wheel is equally well suited to racing smooth continental roads and cobbled farm tracks as they are exploring off-road. This isn't just a race day wheel, it's a wheel for training and racing all-year round. Although the Zipp 303 S rear wheel offers all-round performance, that's not to say it doesn't live up to the pedigree of the Zipp name. The 45mm-deep rim, coupled with a respectable total weight (front and rear combined) of 1530 grams, makes these a fast set of rims in any condition. They blend aerodynamic advantage and weight excellently to ensure you're able roll along in the bunch effortlessly and don't feel bogged down when fighting against gravity. Wider and Faster The current trend is for bike rims to be wider than they traditionally were. The benefit of wider rims is they'll seat wider tyres, which in turn means you need a lower pressure to fill the tyre. Combined, this adds up to a smoother ride, more grip while cornering, and quicker rolling tyres. What's not to like? This rear wheel is optimised for a 28 mm tyre but can accommodate up to 50 mm tyres. Product Features Carbon-fiber rims 45mm-rim depth 23mm-internal rim width 27mm-external rim width Optimized for 28mm tires, but accommodates up to 50mm Hookless rim Only compatible with tubeless tires Disc brake (centre-lock) compatible 76 / 176 DB hubs with Center locking interface XDR driver body option Through axles - 12x142mm rear Sapim CX-Sprint J bend spokes. 24 front and rear.
