One wheel, all conditions
Aerodynamics — time and watt savings over 40K for 404 Firecrest Wheelset: 71 seconds / 23 watts.
When it comes to high-performance rims, the 404 has become the benchmark to which all other wheels are compared. There’s a reason for that. We have led the 58mm-rim category for more than 20 years. You could say our experience gives us a home court advantage. As a result, the 404 is a repository of everything we know. We were working on the 404 when we made the discoveries that led to our revolutionary Firecrest™ technology. Firecrest doesn’t just make a wheel faster, it makes it more stable, no matter what the wind is doing. ABLC™ dimpling is to wind what grease is to the threads on a bolt. Whether your event ends with a sprint or a marathon, our VCLC™ damps vibration to keep your legs as fresh as possible. There is a reason why this is the only wheel on the market ridden to victory at Kona and l’Alpe d’Huez—it has spent more time in the wind tunnel than any athlete, more than most teams. It may just be that the 404 is our easiest answer to your needs, a wheel that really can do it all.

Important: Only for tubular tires that are glued onto the rim.
Great that you're interested in our carbon wheels for tubular tires! Here's what you need to know about them:
Lightweight and Fast: Our carbon wheels are designed for tubular tires, which means they are lighter than traditional wire bead tires. This makes your bike more agile and accelerates faster.
Professional Performance: Many professionals prefer tubular tires because they offer an impressive combination of performance and reliability. With our carbon wheels, you'll get the most out of your bike.
Smooth Riding Experience: The seamless construction of tubular tires provides a smooth riding experience and offers better grip in corners. That means more control and fun while riding.
But how do tubular tires differ from other versions like tubeless, clincher, and tubular tires/tubular?
Tubular Tires/Tubular: This version uses a seamless rubber tire that is glued directly onto the rim. They offer the best performance but are slightly more difficult to mount and require special rims.
Tubeless: Unlike tubular tires, tubeless tires do not use inner tubes. Instead, sealant is poured into the tire to seal small punctures. Tubeless tires offer similar benefits to tubular tires but are slightly easier to mount and maintain.
Clincher: Clincher tires are the most common type of tires. They have a separate tire and tube construction that is clinched onto the rim. Clincher tires are easy to mount and offer good all-around performance but are usually heavier than tubular and tubeless tires.
So if you're looking for the highest performance and a premium riding experience, our carbon wheels for tubular tires are the perfect choice for you!

Zipp
Motorsport engineer Leigh Sargent was actually specialized in perfecting the aerodynamics of Indy 500 vehicles. As the passionate cyclist became more and more involved with carbon wheels and disc wheels, he recognized the potential and founded the Zipp company in Indianapolis, the cradle of American motorsports. Two years after its foundation, the first Ironman in Hawaii was won with Zipp wheels. Already an insider tip in triathlon, it took until 2000 for the US brand to make the leap into professional cycling to the Belgian Lotto team. Ever since the company equipped the CSC team in 2003, it has been a major player in cycling.
