Zipp 404 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Front Wheel

Zipp 404 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Front Wheel Info

The Zipp 404 Firecrest Disc Tubeless Wheels have been one of the staples in the Zipp lineup for years. They are updated and better than ever, dropping nearly 400 grams in weight as a set compared to the previous version. This wheel comes in at a lower price than the NSW model while remaining very light and fast. The wider 58mm rim depth makes the wheel ideal for road cyclists and triathletes alike, promoting great stability at high speeds to compliment the aerodynamics. A 23mm internal width makes it possible to run wider tires at lower pressures while maintaining speed. The rim is also able to accommodate tubeless tires, making for outstanding comfort and durability for an aero road wheel. It also adds up to more stability, giving riders the confidence to make turns at high speeds.

A very low rolling resistance fits in nicely with the tubeless tire compatibility of this wheel. The low resistance allows for tires to be run at lower pressures which helps create more grip on turns and added comfort over long distances. An ABLC Sawtooth dimple design helps manage airflow around the wheel and create excellent stability at high speeds. It also includes Zipp Total System Efficiency which combats any enemies of speed. This includes wind resistance, rolling resistance, gravity, and body vibration losses. Mitigating all of these limiting factors leads to higher speeds with less effort and the fastest ride on the road. The Zipp 404 Firecrest Disc Tubeless Wheel provides pure road speed but does not neglect the importance of comfort, stability, and reliability. With this diverse set of attributes and a reasonable price, it is no wonder the 404 Firecrest has become one of the most popular wheels in the Zipp lineup.
