Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Disc Brake Thru-Axle Front Wheel 2019

Zipp 404 Carbon Clincher Disc Brake Thru-Axle Front Wheel

Designed to increase braking performance in a wider range of situations, yet also improve rolling speed and efficiency over long distances, the Zipp 404 Carbon Clincher Disc Brake Thru-Axle Front Wheel is the perfect choice for discerning riders who don’t limit themselves when the weather takes a turn.

A 58mm rim depth profile gives immense aerodynamic prowess, alongside superior strength, too. This rim, with its Firecrest technology, is renowned for ensuring you cut through the air with the efficiency you constantly yearn for, keeping you fresher for long distances and has been proven in tests to be one of the fastest front wheels on the market.

404’s Firecrest technology has also been proven to maintain a near-constant width all the way to the spoke bed, ensuring airflow is effectively controlled around every aspect of the wheel. Because of this, you get stable, predictable handling at every wind angle to keep your cornering precise and fast, and means you can attack those long, fast and sometimes technical descents with greater confidence than ever before.

Wider tyre choices are another brilliant aspect of the 404’s, giving you the option to fit up to 30mm tyres. Fancy the Strada Bianche or another gravel grinding, harsh-road epic? This wheel can do it in both styles and ensure you’re comfortable on every stage.

Switching from quick-release to thru-axle, or vice versa is no trouble either. The impressively strong, responsive and performance orientated front 77D hub keeps the entire build rigid and perfect for spinning up hills or sprinting off the front of your group, without any waste of energy.
