Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Wheelset

Zipp's first full-carbon clincher wheelset, the 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher has been described as the most heavily anticipated wheelset of all time. Zipp's Firecrest aero profile is the first deep-profile carbon clincher design to offer the superior aerodynamics, ride quality, strength and handling of a wider rim body.

Heavy, continuous braking on carbon surfaces can cause spikes in rim temperature and tire pressure that impact performance and handling - especially with clincher tires. To solve this challenge, Zipp's US-based composites supplier created a new heat-resistant resin exclusively for Zipp. This technology improves heat dissipation so substantially that these are the only carbon clinchers to pass stringent European safety testing without limitations on rider weight or brake pad options.

Zipp's 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher's 58mm rim depth is a classic all-around performer that has carried athletes to victory in every kind of event - triathlons, criteriums, breakaways, field sprints, even Grand Tour mountain stages. Yet the 404 Carbon Clincher weighs just 1,557g per set, putting it among the lightest deep-profile carbon clinchers available.
