Speed & Versatility for Road and Gravel
Description
Description
The ZIPP 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Brake Wheelset is built for the unpredictable and ever-changing conditions of real-world riding. Whether you’re taking on smooth pavement or rugged gravel, this wheelset’s lightweight and aerodynamic design ensures maximum speed and efficiency across varied terrains. Engineered to excel under the challenging demands of modern road bikes, it provides the performance edge dedicated cyclists need to meet their goals.
Advanced Aerodynamics for Enhanced Speed: With a redesigned profile, the 303 Firecrest features a 30mm external and 25mm internal rim width, along with a 40mm depth. This wider, bulbous shape improves the transition between the rim and tire, reducing drag and boosting aero efficiency. This aerodynamic advancement means reduced wind resistance and enhanced stability, keeping you fast and steady no matter the conditions.
Reduced Rolling Resistance and Increased Comfort: The 303 Firecrest’s wide rim stance allows for wider tires, which reduces tire deflection and lowers rolling resistance. Coupled with the increased tire volume and the ability to run lower pressures, this design absorbs the impact of uneven roads, effectively reducing rider fatigue. The wheel and tire system works to smooth out bumps, allowing the rider to maintain control and energy over longer distances.
Precision Engineering with the ZR1 DB Hubset: At the heart of the 303 Firecrest is Zipp’s new ZR1 DB hubset, precision-engineered in Germany. With 66 points of engagement, this hubset delivers faster responsiveness, ensuring every pedal stroke is transferred efficiently into forward motion. It’s designed for versatility and durability, making it a reliable choice for the serious cyclist who needs both speed and resilience.
With reduced drag, lower rolling resistance, and enhanced comfort, this wheelset is an essential upgrade for cyclists looking to elevate their ride experience and take on all conditions with confidence and ease.
