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 454 NSW Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake is the ultimate road racing wheelset. This wheel delivers everything the performance cyclist demands. It s aerodynamically efficient and stable in all wind conditions. What s more, a wider rim is designed for tubeless tyres at lower pressure for reduced rolling resistance and vibration damping, so you ll lose as little energy as possible out on the road. This wheel is optimized for 25mm tubeless tyres for all out speed.Technology: Total System Efficiency, ImPress, Sawtooth & Axial Clutch V2Cognition hub set rolls efficiently whether you are pedalling or coasting with Axial Clutch V2 technology The 454 NSW Tubeless Disc Brake is roughly a pound (more than 400 grams) lighter than its predecessorTSE for greater efficiency and reduced rolling resistanceSawtooth rim with Hyperfoil nodes and Hex Fin ABLC dimple pattern for top aero and cross wind stability performance with an undulating 53/58mm rim depth Zipp graphics applied using Zipp s ImPress direct-print technologyXDR SRAM/Shimano driver bodies Ships with 12mm front and rear end capsCentre locking rotor interface.Lockring is included with the wheels Campagnolo driver body sold separatelyFront 631g / Rear 727gLifetime WarrantyThe 454 NSW features Zipp s most advanced technologies. Its undulating 58mm Sawtooth rim shape with Hyperfoils is Zipp s most aerodynamic and stable wheel in the 404 family. The 454 NSW Tubeless Disc brake wheelset is roughly a pound (more than 400 grams) lighter than its predecessor! Zipp s use of hookless (straight side) rims in the 454 NSW is integral to making you faster. With hookless, the transition between the tyre 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 Total System Efficiency (TSE). A bike-and-rider system weighing 85kg (187lbs) on the new 454 NSW with 25mm tyres required 278 watts to maintain a speed of 40kph. That s a 10-watt savings compared with the previous model 454 NSW. At the centre of the 454 NSW is the Cognition V2 hub set re-engineered with an updated Axial Clutch V2 mechanism for quicker engagement, lower friction, and improved durability.

Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Tubeless Rear WheelZipp's legendary speed weapon, the 404 Firecrest, is better than ever. This go-to rim-brake rear wheel is, for the first time, tubeless ready. That means you can run reduced tyre pressure for reduced rolling resistance and increased cornering grip and compliance without the risk of pinch flats. This rear wheel's 58mm rim depth is a classic that has carried athletes to victory in every kind of event and situation - every triathlon distance, breakaways, field sprints and hilly finishes. Zipp's ABLC Sawtooth Technology uses a complex dimpling pattern to improve aero efficiency.

At the centre of the 404 Firecrest Tubeless rim-brake is a versatile and durable hub, the German-engineered ZR1. If you had to choose just one wheel for road riding and racing, the 404 Firecrest Tubeless is a savvy and speedy choice.ABLC SawtoothThe Sawtooth dimple design consists of 12 nodes that are specifically clocked to start aerodynamic shearing at a rate of 50hz at a rider speed of 20mph. Sawtooth accomplishes this by inducing small sheet vortices that shed at a low magnitude, but at a higher natural frequency, thus decreasing the laminar bubble effect on the aerodynamically shielded side of the rim's profile to further reduce high yaw drag and improve crosswind stability.

Zipp s 353 NSW Tubeless Disc-brake wheelset is the pinnacle of our pursuit of versatility and speed. This wheelset fuses Zipp s two most advanced approaches, Sawtooth rim profile and Total System Efficiency for an all-encompassing approach to performance. Zipp's lightest tubeless ready wheelset yet at just 1255g per pairSawtooth rim with Hyperfoil nodes and HexFin ABLC dimple pattern for top aero and crosswind-stability performance with an undulating rim depth25mm internal width and tubeless compatibility for optimization of wider tyres with lower tyre pressureCognition DB hub set with Axial Clutch freehub rolls efficientlySuitable for 100x12mm (front) and 142x12mm (rear) axles - sold individually as front or rear wheelsWith its undulating 45-mm deep rim shape, the 353 NSW provides speed on every terrain with best-in-class aerodynamic efficiency and crosswind stability. The 353 NSW is Zipp s lightest tubeless wheelset yet, making it a fast-puncher ready to fight its way into the breakaway. With Zipp s hookless rims, 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 wheels. They also are highly durable. Zipp s 353 NSW s Sawtooth rim shape with Hyperfoils optimizes aerodynamic efficiency and crosswind stability. The Sawtooth design also allows the rim to be structurally strong but light. That will help you snap out of corners and maintain that speed no matter the terrain, especially the steep, punchy stuff. The 353 NSW utilizes Zipp s Total System Efficiency, or TSE, approach to wheel design: overcoming specific barriers to speed: wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses. The wheelset s 25mm internal width is ideal for running wider tubeless tires at reduced air pressure for a more efficient ride. At the centre of the 353 NSW is the Cognition V2 Hubset re-engineered with an updated Axial Clutch V2 mechanism for quicker engagement and lower friction as well as improved durability.
