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. Additional Features: Updated Zipp graphics and cosmetic identity that scream speed Versatile endurance wheelset for the modern road bike with tubeless and hookless rim profile Lower in weight - a 300g weight reduction than its predecessor, making it nimble and fast Tubeless Made Easy, optimised tyre bed sign allows for simple tool-free installation and removal with no need for an air compressor to seat the tyre Ultra-wide 25mm rim profile creates a better tyre interface to be fast on or off the road 40mm rim depth makes a light and aero wheel in every situation ZR1 DB hub is engineered in Germany with better seal design for improved durability and quicker response with 66 points of engagement Ships with 12mm front and rear end caps Centre locking rotor interface Lockring is included with the wheels Lifetime Warranty
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
Zipp has equipped this model with tubeless tyre compatibility, so you can enjoy the benefits of superior stability and control as well as a lighter overall weight. Another highlight of this version is its disc brake compatibility, which means that you'll benefit from powerful and consistent braking performance during the most unpredictable of road conditions. Zipp’s 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake rear wheel is designed for the real world… a world of imperfect conditions, road surfaces, and elements where the bottom line is simple. Efficiency = speed. It’s faster, lighter, and more capable over varied terrain—whether the surface is pavement in all its conditions or no pavement at all. Deeply rooted in Zipp’s drive to conquer the Spring Classics, the 303 Firecrest is remade with a purpose-made approach for the demands of modern road bikes. When it comes to going fast on a bicycle, efficiency means reduced: Wind resistance, rolling resistance, rider fatigue, weight. Designed using real-world direct measurements (vs. primarily wind tunnel or computer simulation). 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. 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 helps to reduce rider fatigue by smoothing out the ride over imperfect pavement and road conditions—the tyre and wheel system absorbs the shaking, not the rider. At the centre of the 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc brake rear wheel is a versatile and durable hubset, the German-engineered ZR1 DB. This hubset features 66 points of engagement for quicker response. The 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake rear wheel is for dedicated cyclists who aspire to the latest in technology. Its competitors… in races, against peers, or simply conquering personal limits.

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.

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.

Wide Carbon Fibre Road Bike Wheel 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 Wheel The 303 S is among Zipp's lightest wheelsets, 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 groundbreaking wheelset also features all-new cosmetics, setting the rider apart from the pack, and comes at a very attractive price. Additional Features: Provides today’s cyclists the versatility they demand with the speed they crave Updated Zipp graphics and cosmetic identity Fastest with 28mm, fits wide gravel tyres Wide rims optimise tyre profile to allow lower tyre pressure, especially with tubeless. This results in a larger contact patch for increased grip Lower tyre pressures and larger volume provides a compliant ride with fewer vibrations Significant watt savings when running larger tyres at lower pressure Wide hookless rims create a seamless transition to the tyre, reducing drag 76 DB hub with centre locking interface Lifetime Warranty
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.

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.
