Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Tubular 6-Bolt Disc Rear Wheel

The Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Tubular 6-Bolt Disc Rear Wheel is that rarest of breeds that can combine perfect performance, lightweight and durability into one wheel, saving the need for multiple sets.

The 303 Firecrest rim has proven race pedigree across the disciplines of road and cyclo-cross racing with wins on the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix as well as on the professional cyclo-cross circuit. This is thanks to the rim being a leader for aerodynamics, strength, stability and ride quality. It is better than ever though, with Zipp managing to shave a further 35 grams off this year's wheel to improve an already fantastically light wheel.

Also of significant note is the 177D hub. This incredibly engineered hub is versatile, durable and simple to use. Bearing preload precision set prevents you needing to adjust the preload, whilst this latest model also features better protection and sealant to give you long-lasting performance.

The carbon fibre has been used to create a wider profile for improvements in aerodynamics, grip and comfort. So no matter whether you use this versatile wheel for road, cyclocross or gravel racing and adventures, you can do so with confidence and comfort.

Even the included skewer has been magnificently redesigned. Now it has a wider ergonomic handle to assist with opening and closing. Furthermore, when closed the lever fits discretely with the frame for aerodynamics.

If quick release is not for you though, this wheel is thru-axle compatible and comes with the end caps that can be changed by hand to create a truly diverse wheel.
