Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Front Wheel - 12 x 100mm 700C

    Zipp’s 404 Firecrest Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake is the icon of speed with three decades of use. 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 and gran fondos. The wheelset’s 23mm internal width is perfect for running wider tubeless tyres at reduced air pressure.

    • Technology: Total System Efficiency, ABLC Dimples
    • Versatile race wheels for the modern road race bike with tubeless and hookless rim profile
    • Optimized tyre bed for easy tyre installation
    • Wide 23mm rim profile creates a better tyre interface to be fast on or off the road
    • New ZR1 DB hub is engineered in Germany with better seal design for improved durability and quicker response with 66 points of engagement
    • Ships with 12mm front and rear end caps
    • Centre locking rotor interface. Lockring is included with the wheels
    • XDR or SRAM/Shimano driver bodies (Campagnolo driver body sold separately)
    • The 404 Firecrest Tubeless Disc brake is about 370 grams lighter than its predecessor - 1450g wheelset* - Front 660g Rear 790g
    • Lifetime Warranty
    • *Lightest configuration: 12mm through axles and XDR body. No tape or valve included in weight

    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 tyre and the rim is more seamless and aero. Zipp’s hookless rims have more efficient resin distribution, which means lighter, stronger wheels. Outdoor testing commissioned by Zipp revealed the real-world gains of Zipp TSE. A bike and rider system weighing 85kg (187lbs) on the new 404 Firecrest with 25mm tyres required 286 watts to maintain a speed of 40kph. That’s a 4-watt savings compared with the previous model 404 Firecrest. At the centre of the 404 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake is a versatile and durable hub set, 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.
