Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher 77 Front Road Wheel

One wheel for every ride. The Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher 77 is a front wheel that offers the ideal balance between lightweight and aero performance for all-round road cycling and racing.

With its 58mm rim depth the 404 rim offers the ideal balance between aero and lightweight for all-round road cycling and racing. The Firecrest™ rim shape offers further improvements to the aerodynamics without taking anything away from Zipp’s legendary ride quality. With a wider rim body, the tyre volume is increased for improved handling and comfort as well as reducing the chances of getting a pinch flat. Extensive wind tunnel testing goes into the design and development of Zipp rims so you can be sure of their aero credentials.

Zipp carbon rims achieve lightweight with strength, durability and an unrivalled ride quality. Uni-directional fibres handle all the tensile and compressive loading within the rim, while woven carbon and silica/ceramic fabric sheets handle all compressive braking forces. Zipp rims are tough too, Carbon Bridge™ technology incorporates a 6 bundle co-axial Kevlar® thread which offers 50% extra impact protection on the edge of the rim.

The Zipp 404s offer exceptional braking performance thanks to the Showstopper™ braking surface. This directional moulded in texture features incredibly tough silicon carbide particles, suspended in the surface resin for a consistent surface roughness that won’t wear-out. With Showstopper™ braking is both consistent and responsive in all weather conditions. The 404 Firecrests are made with heat resistant resin for consistent braking performance on even the very longest descents.

The Zipp 77 front hub is precision made and offers best-in-class durability. The bearings require no preloading and are well protected from the elements.

Each Zipp 404 wheel is supplied with; a newly designed quick-release skewer, with a wider more ergonomic handle that contours neatly with the frame when closed, Tangente Platinum Pro Evo brake pads, integrated valve extender and valve-core spanner.
