Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Center Lock Front Wheel
Zipp’s 404 Firecrest Tubeless Disc brake is a pro-proven
Speed Weapon for any situation. The 404’s heritage as Zipp’s icon of
speed extends back decades, and its future is even brighter. At 58mm
deep, the 404 Firecrest Tubeless is ideal for road races, time trial and
triathlon, gran fondos, and riding over varied terrain.
The
wheelset’s 23mm internal width is perfect for running wider tubeless
tires at reduced air pressure. That is a vital component of Total System
Efficiency™, or TSE™, an approach to speed on ever-changing roads and
riding conditions. Specifically, TSE™ focuses on overcoming specific
barriers to speed: wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, and
vibration losses. Zipp’s ABLC™ Sawtooth™ Technology uses an intricate
dimpling pattern to improve aero efficiency. Zipp’s use of hookless
(straight side) rims in the 404 Firecrest is integral to Making You
Faster. With hookless, 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, stronger wheels. At the center
of the 404 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake is a versatile and durable new
hubset, the German-engineered ZR1 DB. If you had to choose just one
wheel for road riding and racing, the 404 Firecrest Tubeless Disc brake
is a savvy and speedy choice.
