Zipp:
all around advancement
if you had to choose just one wheel, the 404 firecrest carbon clincher should be your choice. With the depth and shape proven in all conditions, it’s the all-around performer and the standard by which all other wheels are measured. Its 58mm rim depth is a classic that has carried athletes to victory in every kind of event and situation – every triathlon distance, breakaways, field sprints and hilly finishes. At the centre of the 404 firecrest is zipp’s 77/177 hubset with best-in-class durability, bearing protection with no pre-load adjustment needed. The result is improved braking (showstopper™), aero performance, stiffness, durability, simplicity and versatility.
