Any offering from Zipp is certain to come with high expectations, and this version of the Zipp 303 S wheelset doesn’t disappoint. With this edition, the wheel building pioneers are touting not only the speed and low weight of their wheels, but also the durability and ability to fit wide tyres, making them suitable for on and off-road exploring. All this at the brand’s lowest price point ever means this is a product offering value for money, as well as high performance. This listing is for a complete wheelset, you can also buy the front and rear wheel separately. Lighter, Stronger, Faster The Zipp 303 S wheelset is intended to be versatile, equally suited to training and racing in a range of conditions. Whether you’re on the silky-smooth tarmac of Majorca, the bone-shaking pavé of Flanders, or the dusty plains of Kansas, these wheels cover them all. Boasting a 45mm-deep rim, coupled with a respectable total weight of 1530 grams, these wheels offer a great balance between aerodynamics and weight, ensuring you have the speed on the flats and the low weight needed for when the road tilts up. As a wheel intended for racing, this product is expectedly stiff, and you’d be hard pressed to notice any lateral flex under those big, decisive accelerations. Additionally, even the most weight conscious can rest assured they won’t be held back on the climbs and that they’re responsive enough for sprint finishes on the road — whether that finish line is a sanctioned road race or the café, it doesn’t matter! Bigger, Wider, Faster Known as pioneers in the wheel-building space, Zipp are on trend in terms of offering wider tyre options. With wider tyres you can run lower air pressures, which can increase comfort and grip in the corners; importantly, this amounts to more speed, particularly across rough terrain. Boasting a broader, hookless rim, the Zipp 303 S wheelset is optimised for a 28mm tyre on the road but will happily take up to 50mm tyres for gravel adventures. Stopping Power It has become almost the norm for wheels to come in disc-brake-only versions, and that’s exactly what you get here. Being equipped with disc brakes means that when you squeeze the brakes — regardless of the conditions — you can be confident you’ll get consistent stopping power. Lifelong Quality Filled with the highest-quality steel bearings, the hubs will run smooth and should stand the test of time. So confident in the durability of the 303 S wheelset, Zipp are offering a lifetime warranty.

Zipp’s 303 S Tubeless Disc Brake wheelset provides today’s cyclists the versatility they demand with the speed they crave. Expanding greatly on its heritage of conquering the Spring Classics this 303 wheelset maintains its ideal-for-every-terrain 45mm rim depth but 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 optimize rider performance on this new breed of bike. This wheelset is tubeless for disc-brake bikes allowing the ability to run wide tires at lower pressures for race-ready speed on or off the pavement. The 303 S is among our lightest wheelsets optimized for top aero performance with a 28mm tire but capable of handling gravel tires up to 50mm wide. The 303 S borrows design concepts from the higher-level 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake wheelset to gain speed through increased efficiency. That is achieved by creating a wheel with reduced: Wind resistance rolling resistance rider fatigue and weight. The key innovation is in the 303 S Series’ rim design. Its 45mm rim depth is the same as its predecessor the 302 Disc brake. But its rim width is 2mm wider at 27mm and its tire bed is a full 7mm wider at 23mm. That rim platform is designed to be the fastest with a 28mm tire. The wide rim optimizes tire profile to allow lower tire pressure. That helps to reduce rolling resistance and provides a more compliant ride. The result of all this is a 10 percent watt savings vs. a top peer wheel in total power required to ride 40kph on a smooth flat road with a 28mm tire according to internal Zipp testing. This groundbreaking wheelset also features all-new cosmetics setting the rider apart from the pack and comes at an attractive price. FEATURES Zipp graphics and cosmetic identity that scream speed Fastest with 28mm fits wide gravel tires as well 76 / 176 DB hubs with Center locking interface XDR driver body option Wide rims optimize tire profile to allow lower tire pressure especially with tubeless. The result is a larger contact patch for increase grip for confident cornering descending and handling in wet conditions. Lower tire pressures and larger volume provides a compliant ride with fewer vibrations. Significant watt savings when running larger tires at lower pressure. Wide hookless rims create a seamless transition to the tire reducing drag.

Managing this is crucial to stability. Sawtooth: SawTooth is the name given to Zipp NSW's patented variable depth 53/58mm rims. Developed utilising the principles of the emerging science of biomimicry, Zipp engineers began the rigorous aero development process of SawTooth utilising the wind tunnel, CFD, and real-world testing. The result is a rim shape that takes nature's most elegant design solutions and combines engineering precision to deliver a wheel that performs unlike any made before. This patented rim shape achieves something conventional aero wheels cannot; it simultaneously reduces both aerodynamic drag and side force for the ultimate in AeroBalance. Sawtooth accomplishes this with a series of patented fin-shaped Hyperfoil nodes along the inner diameter of the rim that work together with HexFin ABLC dimples for improved airflow. The result is Zipp's highest performing wheel ever released with both aero-drag reduction and reduced side force at all wind yaw angles. This is important because higher wind yaw angles are where bike handling is most affected by the wind. Hyperfoil: Hyperfoil is the name given to the individual nodes on Zipp NSW variable depth Sawtooth rims. Each of these patented structures features Zipp's HexFin ABLC dimples that help to stabilize handling in gusting wind by increasing wind vortex shedding frequency. The higher frequency vortex shedding produced by Sawtooth creates a greater number of smaller, less powerful, yet more predictable vortices leading to greater wheel stability. This added stability translates into greater rider control, thereby saving energy that is typically expended trying to hold a line in gusting wind. The result is a faster, more confident riding experience whether you are laying down power or descending sinuous mountain roads. TSE Technology: Zipp's TSE Technology (Total System Efficiency) was developed by its engineers in the Nest Advanced Development Lab in Indy. This approach to carbon-wheel manufacturing means the wheel's precise rim layup results in greater all-around efficiency for greater speed through reduced: Wind resistance, rolling resistance and gravity (weight + durability) vibration losses.Manufacturer's Part Number: ZPWH8612000Buy Zipp Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

The angular shape of each dimple increases boundary layer mixing to help keep airflow attached to the rim for reduced aerodynamic drag and improved stability in crosswinds. To further improve the effectiveness of the hexagonal dimples, they are arranged in fin-shaped clusters made up of variable sized dimples that work in concert with each Hyperfoil of a Sawtooth rim.Axial Clutch: With Cognition's Axial Clutch technology, Zipp reduced drag by disengaging the ratchet mechanism when coasting. With less internal hub drag a rider can pedal less when drafting in a headwind, achieve higher speeds when coasting in an aero tuck, or opt to stop pedalling a moment sooner before entering a corner and bank that wattage for use exiting the corner. Axial Clutch technology also allows riders to maintain speed through corners that don't require braking input, thereby increasing corner exit speeds. Inside the Axial Clutch mechanism Zipp use magnets, rather than steel springs, to move and engage the lightweight Metal Injection Molded (MIM) ratchet rings for unmatched reliability and consistent operation.

If you had to choose just one wheel, the 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher is a savvy and speedy choice. With a depth and shape proven in all conditions, it’s the all-around performer and the standard by which all other wheels are measured. Its 58mm rim depth is a classic all-around performer that has carried athletes to victory in every kind of event and situation – every triathlon distance, breakaways, field sprints and hilly finishes. This latest iteration of the 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher is infused with technologies developed in our Indianapolis advanced development lab. The results mean better performance out on the road: 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 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 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher is 75 grams lighter than its previous iteration.
