Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Front Road Wheel

Naturally, Zipp chose to launch their groundbreaking Firecrest and Carbon Clincher designs with their most versatile wheelset, the 404. Its 58 mm rim depth is a classic all-around performer that has carried athletes to victory in every kind of event triathlons, criteriums, breakaways, field sprints and even Grand Tour mountain stages.

In fact, Zipps first full-carbon clincher wheelset, the 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher, has been described as the most heavily anticipated wheelset of all time. And following two years of development for its revolutionary rim shape and carbon technology, Zipp are confident that the 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher lives up to the hype.

Its Firecrest aero profile is 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 just 1,615 grams per set, putting it among the lightest deep-profile carbon clinchers available
