The Zipp 404 Firecrest is one of the most versatile aero wheelsets in road cycling, designed to deliver race-winning speed while staying stable, smooth, and predictable in real-world riding conditions. With a 58mm deep carbon rim, the 404 Firecrest offers true aerodynamic efficiency, fast on the flats, responsive in sprints, and still light enough to climb with confidence.Zipp’s latest Firecrest design features a wide, tubeless-ready rim with a hookless profile, optimized for modern high-volume road tires. This combination allows lower pressures for reduced rolling resistance, improved comfort, and better grip on imperfect pavement. The refined rim shape also boosts crosswind stability, giving riders a calmer, more planted feel compared to traditional deep-section wheels.If you want a deep-section wheelset that delivers aero gains without sacrificing stability or versatility, the Zipp 404 Firecrest remains a benchmark choice.
