Excellent for weight, aerodynamics and durability, the Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Rear Wheel 2017 is leading the way in wheel design.

A new hub removes the need for maintenance or pre-load adjustment, whilst improving durability. Light enough to climb, with four times more dimples for even better aerodynamics, this could save you time in any discipline.

Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Rear Wheel 2017

Tried and tested during the harshest races of Paris Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders, the Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Rear Wheel 2017 is built to last and a phenomenal performing wheel no matter what the conditions.

New for this year is the 77/177 hubset. Handily, this removes the need for maintenance, which none of us really have time for or want to be doing! Additionally, this solidifies their industry leading durability thanks to the improved bearing protection. Keeping things even simpler is the fact that no pre-load adjustment is required. Another benefit of the hubs is the flange geometry and spoke hole attachment pattern to provide the perfect levels of torsional and lateral stiffness and robustness.

The revolutionary Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control (ABLC™) dimples are here to stay thanks to their ability to smooth airflow over the rim surface. What is new though, is the increase in quantity to four times the number of dimples originally seen.

Light enough to be at home in the mountains, there is the added benefit of the Firecrest aerodynamic profile. This focusses on both the front and back of the wheel so that the centre of pressure can be moved backwards. The benefit of this is the crosswind stability that rivals that of a box rim. Additionally, the rim allows the tyre profile to be optimised for comfort and stability with no compromise to rolling resistance.

Includes:

  • Tangente Platinum Pro Evo brake pads
  • Zipp Integrated Valve Extender with valve-core wrench
  • Rim tape
  • Zipp quick release

Please note: The wide profile of the rear 303 Firecrest wheel may present some fitment issues for a small number of road and triathlon frames. The clearance between the chainstay and the rim may not be adequate to avoid contact between each other when ridden under load.

Known frames that may present this issue:

  • 2012 Specialized Tarmac SL4
  • Specialized S-Works McLaren Venge
