Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Rim Brake FRONT Wheel : BLACK

Brand:Zipp

Code:ZPWH8381001

Perhaps one of the best do-it-all solutions currently available. The new Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher wheels are all things, strong, fast, light, durable and pretty.
 
If you had to choose just one wheel, the 404 Firecrest should definitely feature on your shortlist - somewhere near the top! With the depth and shape that has been proven in all conditions, it’s the all-around performer and the standard by which many other wheels are measured. Its 58mm rim depth is a classic all-around performer that has carried athletes to victory in every kind of event and situation – every triathlon distance, breakaways, field sprints and even hilly finishes.
 
The 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher is where the Firecrest Revolution began as the first deep-profile carbon clincher design to offer the superior aerodynamics, ride quality, strength and handling of a wider rim body. Yet the 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher weighs 1,690 grams per set, providing best-in-class performance at a light weight.
 
At the center of the 404 Firecrest is Zipp’s 77/177 hubset with vastly improved durability, this is probably the single most redeeming feature of the wheels in our eyes in comparison with previous Zipp offerings, the improved bearing protection with no pre-load adjustment needed makes for simple maintenance, less frequently. The result is improved stiffness, durability, simplicity and versatility.
 
Optimized flange geometry and spoke hole attachment pattern with Sapim CX Sprint spokes are used to optimize torsional and lateral stiffness and robustness. Again, something that previous incarnations have faltered on.
 
The new 404 includes newly designed quick-release skewers with a wider more ergonomic handle to provide more leverage for opening and closing. When closed, the lever contours neatly with the frame to offer improved aerodynamics.
 
For those looking for a wider gear range, or tackling especially extreme terrain, an XD driver body for 177 is sold separately and easily installed to allow for more cassette options including a 10-42. The hubset is designed to swap driver bodies without re-dishing the wheel.
 
Precision-engineered hubs along with Firecrest technology create something special. Designed specifically to account for the differences in airflow patterns between clincher tyres and tubulars, the 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher exceeds the aero performance of any other clincher wheelset in its class. As Zipp proved with the pioneering (and Paris-Roubaix and Tour of Flanders-winning) 303 Tubular, a wider rim offers greater vertical compliance for control and comfort on rough surfaces while increasing lateral stiffness for sprinting and cornering. The same holds true for Firecrest rims with clincher tyres and because the hook beads are farther apart, the tire itself takes on a more stable shape without adding rolling resistance.
 
Heavy continuous braking on carbon surfaces can cause spikes in rim temperature and tyre pressure that impact performance and handling – especially with clincher tires. To solve this challenge, Zipp's U.S.-based composites supplier created a heat-resistant resin exclusively for Zipp : Showstopper. This technology improves heat dissipation so substantially that the 404 Carbon Clinchers have never had a heat-related failure.
 
Available in two decal options, the stealthy Matte Black or the distinctive Matte White decals. Each 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher wheel comes with Tangente Platinum Pro Evo brake pads, Zipp Integrated Valve Extender with valve-core wrench, rim tape and quick release.
 
These wheels would feature highly on our shortlist if we were looking for a do-it-all high-performance racing wheelset; a beautiful ride and impressive durability.
