The very fact that such a thing as the Racing Zero Carbon DB exists today must be traced back to the evolution of the Racing Zero and its well-known character. By respecting the linchpins, the fundamental points of this family, and interpreting the world of disc brakes, the Fulcrum R&D division has successfully risen to a decidedly complex challenge: that of evolving while respecting history to make an absolutely mind-blowing product. It all starts with the base concept: carbon and aluminum together to create a unique combination, introduced on her sister for traditional brakes, to enhance reactivity and stiffness to the total advantage of a precise, decisive ride. The 30 mm profile helps with lightness uphill, while the wide 19 mm well creates the ideal contact surface for shifting limits to unseen levels. Innovative technologies, such as the new ARC covering that creates an elastic reinforcement on the spoke eyelet, help in this direction. Unparalleled performance, technology, and innovation. Racing Zero Carbon DB comes into its own on every double-figure uphill gradient, when power transmission is a must. It also delivers downhill, because the wide rim and aluminum spoke support help to make you feel you can dare that extra meter. Racing Zero Carbon DB adapts with style and character to the most diverse of contexts, establishing itself as the absolute benchmark for multi-purpose wheels. All you need to do is stare at it long enough and imagine your next uphill goals, then try it on the road and realize that you are climbing at speeds never reached previously.

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.
The ENVE Foundation AG25 Gravel Wheelset is designed for everything from bike packing to gravel racing. “AG” stands for “Adventure Gravel” and this is the guiding principle behind the AG25. Part of ENVE’s new Foundation collection, the AG25 brings ENVE’s core technologies and trickle-down features from the ENVE G Series to riders seeking out adventure and ultimately looking to ride for the fun of it. The AG25 is a 700c gravel wheel that can take tyres up to 50mm, responding perfectly to the larger clearances of modern gravel and adventure bikes. The rim shape was developed by ENVE that would smooth out the ride while still delivering a confidence-inspiring feel when it comes to handling. The AG25 uses ENVE’s Wide Hookless Bead to minimise the chance of pinch flats. The wider leading edge of the rim disperses any impact from debris or potholes over a wider area. This leads to a 60+% improvement in pinch flat resistance as well as a 30+% improvement in impact strength. Drilled spoke and valve holes mean the carbon fibres in the AG25 run through the wheel uninterrupted as opposed to being cut. This makes for a stronger, lighter rim structure. Another benefit is that ENVE can control the shape of the rim at the spoke/nipple interface with greater precision. ENVE rims feature a conical nipple seat that prevents premature spoke fatigue while also ensuring wheel-build reliability. The AG25 uses the ENVE Foundation Road Hub, which uses ENVE’s core hub technologies. The hub shell uses simplified machining without compromising flange geometry and wheel build stiffness. The drive mechanism uses Instant Drive 360 technology and a 40t ratchet to deliver responsive engagement, minimal drag, and low maintenance performance. The bearings are premium full contact sealed NTN steel bearings. The Rotor attachment is center lock. The AG25 is also available with the Industry 1/1 hub. The ENVE Foundation AG25 Gravel Wheelset comes with ENVE's leading Factory Limited Warranty and Incidental Damage Protection. The Factory Limited Warranty protects buyers for five years from defects in material and workmanship, while the Incidental Damage Protection gives protection from damage caused to their wheels while riding, crashing or transporting bikes. Beyond these three years, there is a prorated discount structure available.
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.

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.

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.
