Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon TL Disc Front Wheel 2021

Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon TL Disc CL Front

Ideal for road, time trial or triathlon racing, this front wheel features a high-quality carbon rim construction for an excellent balance of stiffness, strength and an overall low weight on your ride. Zipp has also kitted out this model with some of its finest technologies including a hookless tubeless rim profile that’s perfect for modern racing. This means you’ll enjoy tubeless benefits such as the ability to run lower tyre pressures for increased stability, comfort and fewer chances of flats or punctures. Another highlight is its Centre-Lock disc brake compatibility, which allows for powerful and consistent braking performance as you maintain your momentum.

Carbon Front Wheel with Hookless, Tubeless Rim Profile

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. This wheel’s 23mm internal width is perfect for running wider tubeless tyres at reduced air pressure, while its use of hookless (straight side) rims 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 also have more efficient resin distribution, which results in a lighter, stronger wheel.

Total System Efficiency and ABLC Sawtooth Technology

Ready for racing, this front wheel is equipped with Zipp’s Total System Efficiency (TSE) technology, which is an approach to speed on ever-changing roads and riding conditions. Specifically, TSE focuses on overcoming specific barriers to speed such as wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses. With the addition of ABLC Sawtooth technology, this model also uses an intricate dimpling pattern to improve aero efficiency. Coming complete with a German-engineered ZR1 DB hub that’s versatile and durable, the Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon TL Disc CL Front wheel is a great choice of upgrade for road riding and racing.
