Powerful and precise disc braking
gives you control over chaos. “In dry
conditions the one-finger braking can
mean the difference between stuffing
it up in the corner by sliding out, or
keeping on the edge of the perfect
racing line,” said Tim Johnson of the
Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld.com
Team. “In muddy and sketchy conditions,
consistent braking, or having brakes at
all help me stay in the right rut or give
me the confidence to let it rip and
push even harder than the
previous lap.”
303 Firecrest Disc-brake:
Control over chaos
Smooth is fast. That’s true even when the conditions and terrain get a bit crazy… You now, cyclocross… gravel roads… steep
lonely lanes… urban assaults. The Zipp 303 Firecrest Disc-brake wheelset (available in Carbon Clincher or Tubular versions)
is durable, lightweight and stiff while also providing the consistent and powerful performance of disc braking.
The geometry of new 11-speed compatible hub and virtual 3-cross spoke-lacing pattern are optimized for reliability as well
as exceptional stiffness, resulting in efficient power transfer and quick acceleration. Mathematically derived Firecrest rim
technology provides unmatched stability and aerodynamic efficiency at 45mm rim depth, proven with victories at Tour of
Flanders, Paris-Roubaix and more cyclocross races than you can shake a cowbell at. Wheels ship with Zipp integrated valve
extenders, quick-release skewers and (for Carbon Clincher only) rim strips.
