Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Tubeless Clincher Front Wheel

##Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Tubeless Clincher Front Wheel Blending the brand?s extensive aerodynamic mastery with advanced materials; the Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Tubeless Clincher Front Wheel brings a multifaceted performance to any rider. Whether punching over heavily rolling courses; sprinting hard for the line or battling against the second hand in triathlons the 404 Firecrest delivers with accuracy and composure. An optimum ratio of lateral stiffness; strength and low weight is realised in the rim structure thanks to the utilisation of the finest carbon materials and manufacturing techniques. The advanced composite is moulded into a 58mm deep rim profile that is the result of an exhaustive research and testing procedure; and this accomplishes real-world aerodynamic prowess and confidence-inspiring crosswind stability. Complementing the sophisticated rim design is the ABLC dimple pattern that smooths the air across the rim?s surface to lower drag further across a full sweep of yaw angles. A broad internal rim width is compatible with tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyres. Regardless of preference in this regard; the wide inner rim format forces tyres to sit with an optimum cross-sectional profile that; in turn; elicits lower rolling resistance; enhances compliance and improves cornering grip. The Showstopper brake track and its scalloped; textured surface clears water and debris and increases friction to offer vastly heightened stopping power; even in miserable weather conditions. At the same time; the ZR1; German engineered hub promotes smooth bearings to the build that are durable and low maintenance. All of the components are brought together by the distinguished Sapim CX-Ray spokes that; along with the neat and evenly tensioned lacing pattern; grant admirable quantities of efficiency and reliability. ##Includes * QR end caps * Quick release skewers ##Highlights * A wheel that combines aerodynamics; low rolling resistance; lateral stiffness; strength and comfort to excel over rolling climbs; across wind-swept plains; when sprinting for the line and in valiant solo efforts * The full carbon rim is realised from the finest materials to promote a high stiffness to weight ratio * 58mm deep; AeroBalance derived rim profile is honed via CFD computer simulations; wind tunnel testing and pro rider feedback to simultaneously lower drag and improves crosswind stability * ABLC dimples smooth the airflow across the rim?s surface to further lower drag * Tubeless-ready or standard clincher compatibility opens up use to huge range of tyre setups * Showstopper brake track gives powerful and consistent braking; even in the wet * ZR1 hub is German engineered and has super smooth bearings with durable seals * Sapim CX-Ray spokes and a neat lacing pattern provide even tensions and a durable build
