Zipp404 Firecrest Carbon Wheel - Tubeless
Item # ZIPZ04N
404 Firecrest Carbon Wheel
Zipp is becoming synonymous with speed and performance across all cycling terrain, and the next generation of the tubeless-ready 404 Firecrest family continues to advance the expectations of the modern-day road wheel. Whether you need an aerodynamically optimized wheel to smooth out your commute to the office, an excitingly fast lunch-ride breakaway rim that can handle wide-open crosswinds, or a wheel that excels on climbs and descents so you can distance competitors, the 404 Firecrest is your go-to wheel.
To achieve this high level of versatile performance, Zipp uses a medium-depth 58mm rim profile that is optimized for headwind speed and crosswind stability. Continuing from previous generations of the 404 line are the dimpling effects on the rim surface (part of Zipp’s Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control system) to smooth air flow over the rim. The 404s offer the enhanced modularity and stopping power of disc brakes, and paired with the 16.5mm internal rim width that accommodates a range of 700c tubeless tires, they are a top performer in modern cycling.

Are these the newest 404s? I ask because your specs differ from the Zipp website despite the graphics appearing the same - different hubs (zr1 vs 177), different inside/outside width etc. Thanks
