The Zipp 404 has stood for speed for three decades. The Firecrest Tubeless version for disc brakes is the latest generation. The legacy of the Zipp 404 as a symbol of speed goes back decades and its future is even brighter. With a height of 58 mm, the 404 Firecrest Tubeless is ideal for road races, marathons, time trials, triathlons and tours in varied terrain. The inner width of the wheelset of 23 mm is perfect for running wider tubeless tires with reduced air pressure. This is an important component of Total System Efficiency (TSE), an approach to increasing speed on constantly changing roads and riding conditions. TSE focuses in particular on overcoming specific speed barriers: Wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance and vibration losses. Zipp's ABLC Sawtooth technology uses an intricate dimple pattern to improve aero efficiency. Zipp's use of hookless (straight) rims in the 404 Firecrest is an integral part of "Making You Faster". With hookless, the transition between tire and rim is more seamless and aerodynamic. Zipp's hookless rims have more efficient resin distribution, which means lighter and stronger wheels. An outdoor test commissioned by Zipp has shown the advantages of the Zipp TSE in practice. With the new 404 Firecrest with 25 mm tires, a complete system of rider and wheel weighing 85 kg requires 286 watts to maintain a speed of 40 km/h. This is a saving of 4 watts. This is a saving of 4 watts compared to the predecessor model 404 Firecrest. At the heart of the 404 Firecrest Tubeless for disc brakes is a versatile and durable hub set, the ZR1 DB developed in Germany. If you only had one bike to choose from for road training and racing, the 404 Firecrest Tubeless for disc brakes is a smart and fast choice.
