Zipp 303 Firecrest Force Edition TLR DiscBrake Front

Zipp's 303 Firecrest tubeless wheelset for disc brakes is designed for real-life conditions, including rough roads and adverse elements. It emphasizes the principle that efficiency equals speed. This wheelset is lighter, faster, and suitable for a variety of terrains, from smooth asphalt to rugged dirt roads. Deeply rooted in Zipp's ambition to win spring classics, the new 303 Firecrest has been reworked to meet the demands of modern road bikes.

Efficiency in cycling means reducing air and rolling resistance, rider fatigue, and weight. The 303 Firecrest Tubeless for disc brakes was designed based on real-world conditions rather than just wind tunnel tests or computer simulations. The result is impressive. The rim features a slightly more cambered design than its predecessor, with an outer dimension of 30 mm, a jaw width of 25 mm, and a height of 40 mm. This shaping reduces drag and creates a smoother transition between the rim and tyre, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency.

The wide rim also ensures a more stable fit for the tyre, further decreasing rolling resistance. The combination of a wider tyre, larger volume, and lower air pressure allows riders to save energy significantly. The tyre and wheel absorb vibrations, minimizing the impact on the rider. At the center of the wheels are durable, versatile new hubs, the ZR1 DB, developed in Germany. With 66 locking points, they engage much faster.

The 303 Firecrest Tubeless wheelset for disc brakes is intended for dedicated cyclists who want to leverage the latest technological advancements, whether in races, training, or pushing personal limits. It's all about increasing speed and aligning motivation with top-tier technology.
