Zipp 404 Firecrest Front Wheel

While the 58mm rim depth is optimized for aerodynamics on flats, the 404 Firecrest is versatile enough for rolling terrain and climbs. Its carbon construction keeps the weight manageable, making it a capable all-rounder for riders who want one wheelset for varied routes.

You can use either. While the rim is tubeless-ready to allow for lower pressures and better grip, it is fully compatible with standard clincher tires and inner tubes if you prefer a traditional setup.

This wheel is designed specifically for Center-Lock disc brake systems. Ensure your bike frame uses a 12mm x 100mm thru-axle standard, which is the current industry norm for modern road and gravel disc bikes.

The dimpling pattern is engineered to manage airflow around the rim, reducing aerodynamic drag and improving crosswind stability. It helps the wheel slice through the air more efficiently, especially at higher speeds.

The ZR1 hub is designed for durability and consistent performance. It features improved seal design for better protection against the elements and offers reliable engagement, making it a low-maintenance choice for daily training and racing.
