Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Disc Brake Road Wheelset Tubular

Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Disc Brake Road Wheelset Tubular

In the not too distant past, the venerable Zipp 404 reigned supreme as the ultimate wheelset, dimplomatically calming the windy waters between air flow and wheel surface in all manner of race applications.

Featuring a new platform and graphics for 2016, these hubs boast increased bearing protection over their predecessors and are ready to roll without any pre load adjustment. The rear hub is compatible with a separately sold XD driver body, allowing options for a wider cassette range of up to a 10 42 if needed. As an added bonus, driver bo...
