Aero and fast,the American company have designed the Zipp 404 Firecrest Tubular Rear Wheel 24 spokes 10/11 Speed to be ultra stiff and reliable. Developed with the help of Mr Mark Cavendish it has been ridden in the worlds biggest races on the most varied of terrain.

Pioneering, the Firecrest® rim technology comprises of a wider, more rugged rim and also results in an aerodynamically enhanced wheel. The extra width means the wheel is more stable, yet this does not affect Zipp’s renowned smooth rolling capabilities.

A wider rim also means the tyre sits better, making for better cornering efficiency.

Firecrest® construction and shape improves the wheel’s ride in crosswinds as it moves the pressure on the wheel, away from the front, to the steering axis, giving the 58 millimetre rim the stability of a box rim but still holding all the superior aerodynamic traits you expect from a race ready wheel.

With this wider rim it is advisable you check the wheel fits your frame before you buy.

The 25.34 millimetre wide braking surface, improves braking performance, key when the weather turns nasty and you need great feedback in the wet.

A durable set of 24 Sapim® CX-Sprint spokes have been added and offer easy maintenance, yet also provide excellent aerodynamic efficiency.

Zipp have made this sensational wheel tubular tyre compatible, giving aerodynamic gains, keeping the weight down and providing sublime low rolling resistance.

The 840 gram weight makes this rear wheel perfect for climbing or hurtling along on the flat.

The beautifully, fully die cast white rim decals are now borderless, thinner and lighter. What a way to finish off what is a stunning rear wheel.
