Zipp 404 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-Brake Wheelset: The Ultimate Speed Weapon for All Terrain
For decades, the Zipp 404 Firecrest has stood as a benchmark in aerodynamic performance and versatility. This latest iteration continues to uphold its legacy as a pro-level speed weapon, redefining cycling efficiency with cutting-edge technology. Designed for everything from road racing and time trials to gran fondos and mixed terrains, the Zipp 404 Firecrest is a versatile solution for modern riders seeking speed, control, and reliability.
58mm Rim Depth: Ideal for balancing aero efficiency and stability in crosswinds.
ABLC Sawtooth Technology: The intricate dimpling pattern reduces drag, enhancing aero efficiency at varying yaw angles.
Hookless Rim Profile: A seamless transition between the tire and rim minimizes turbulence, ensuring smoother airflow for increased speed.
This aerodynamic prowess makes the Zipp 404 Firecrest a go-to wheelset for road racers, triathletes, and endurance riders.
Enhanced Tubeless Compatibility
The Zipp 404 Firecrest features a 23mm internal rim width, optimized for tubeless setups and wide tires:
