Disc brakes are definitely here to stay on road bikes, so you might as well get a piece of the action in style with the Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Disc Front Wheel 2016. This combination of performance, lightweight and durability into one wheel is truly incredible and does away with the need for multiple wheel sets as their versatility allows them to go from the road, to gravel to cyclo-cross without issue.

The 303 Firecrest rim has proven race pedigree across the disciplines of road and cycl-cross racing with wins on the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix as well as on the professional cyclo-cross circuit. This is thanks to the rim being a leader for aerodynamics, strength, stability and ride quality. It is better than ever though, with Zipp managing to shave a further 35 grams off this years wheel to improve an already fantastically light wheel.

Aslo of significant note is the 77/177D hubset. This incredibly engineered hub is versatile, durable and simple to use. Bearing preload precision set prevents you needing to adjust the preload, whilst this latest model also features better protection and sealant to give you long lasting performance.

The carbon fibre has been used to create a wider profile for improvements in aerodynamics, grip and comfort. So no matter whether you use this versatile wheel for road, cyclocross or gravel racing and adventures, you can do so in confidence and comfort.

Even the included skewer has been magnificently redesigned. Now it has a wider ergonomic handle to assist with opening and closing. Furthermore, when closed the lever fits discretely with the frame for aerodynamics.

If quick release is not for you though, this wheel is thru-axle compatible and comes with the end caps that can be changed by hand to create a truly diverse wheel.
