2012 Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Rear Wheel
With wins in pro cycling's most demanding races, the original Zipp 303 has proven itself time and again. And now that it's been completely redesigned with Firecrest shaping, the 303 is even better. Designed specifically to account for the differences in airflow patterns between clincher tires and tubulars, the 303 Firecrest carbon clincher far exceeds the aero performance of any other clincher wheelset in its class. It features a wider design that puts more rubber on the road during cornering (but without increasing rolling resistance) and a unique vibration-damping technology that reduces rider fatigue and improves handling.
- The Zipp 303 Firecrest clincher combines the aerodynamic advantages of the race-winning 303 tubular and the convenience of a clincher
- Wider distance between hook beads gives tire a more stable shape without adding rolling resistance
- The Firecrest shape is more aerodynamic than any other rim design, improving handling in crosswinds and enhancing wheel strength and overall ride quality
- 45mm rim depth is a classic all-around performer that has carried athletes to victory in every kind of event -- triathlons, criteriums, breakaways, field sprints, even Grand Tour mountain stages
- Exposed spoke nipples sit in the aerodynamic shadow of the rims, keeping serviceability simple without compromising speed
- The 303 carbon clincher rim features viscoelastic material sandwiched between layers of rigid carbon laminate to absorb shock and reduce vibration for less rider fatigue and better handling
- Patented Advanced Boundary Layer Control (ABLC) dimpled pattern smooths airflow across the rim's surface
- One of the lightest deep-profile carbon clinchers available
- Zipp 188 rear hub has been redesigned to increase overall stiffness and strength
