Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Front Wheel

Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Front Wheel

Offering admirable performance in road races, efforts against the clock, gran fondos and any training situation, the Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Front Wheel is an excellent choice for the rider who loves to ride across any topography.

A high grade of carbon is utilised in the construction of the rim, and this is laid in a specific pattern to grant lateral rigidity, strength and low weight. The rim has a 58mm depth, and this provides an ideal foundation for a balanced blend of low drag and crosswind stability. These traits are subsequently maximised via an aerodynamically sculpted cross-sectional profile and an ABLC surface dimple pattern.

Tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyre compatibility allows almost unlimited ride fine-tuning. Whatever tyres are chosen, the broad internal rim measurement coerces them to realise a higher air volume and shorter but wider tyre-to-road contact patch. These refined tyre characteristics provide lower rolling resistance, improved comfort and boosted cornering traction.

Smooth but well-sealed bearings and a secure Center Lock disc interface are supplied by the disc brake specific ZR1 hub. This hub is mated to the rim by the strong Sapim CX-Sprint spokes in an evenly tensioned 2-cross lacing pattern to bestow dependability and efficiency.

Includes

• 12mm hub end caps
