Zipp 303 S Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Centre Locking 700c Front Wheel

Note: Listing is for a Front wheel only Expanding greatly on its heritage of conquering the Spring Classics, this 303 wheelset maintains its ideal-for-every-terrain 45mm rim depth but adds a significantly wider internal width to provide greater performance and ride quality in almost every measurable way. Road bikes are more versatile than ever, no matter the road surface, but just as fast as before. This wheelset is tubeless for disc-brake bikes, allowing the ability to run wide tires at lower pressures for race-ready speed on or off the pavement. The 303 S is among our lightest wheelsets, optimized for top aero performance with a 28mm tire but capable of handling gravel tires up to 50mm wide. The 303 S borrows design concepts from the higher-level 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake wheelset to gain speed through increased efficiency. That is achieved by creating a wheel with reduced: Wind resistance, rolling resistance, rider fatigue, and weight. The key innovation is in the 303 S Series’ rim design. Its 45mm rim depth is the same as its predecessor, the 302 Disc brake. But its rim width is 2mm wider, at 27mm, and its tire bed is a full 7mm wider, at 23mm. That rim platform is designed to be the fastest with a 28mm tire. The wide rim optimizes tire profile to allow lower tire pressure. That helps to reduce rolling resistance and provides a more compliant ride. The result of all this is a 10 percent watt savings vs. a top peer wheel in total power required to ride 40kph on a smooth flat road with a 28mm tire, according to internal Zipp testing. This groundbreaking wheelset also features all-new cosmetics, setting the rider apart from the pack, and comes at an attractive price. Key Features: Zipp graphics and cosmetic identity that scream speed Fastest with 28mm, fits wide gravel tires as well 76 / 176 DB hubs with Center locking interface XDR driver body option Wide rims optimize tire profile to allow lower tire pressure, especially with tubeless. The result is a larger contact patch for increase grip for confident cornering, descending, and handling in wet conditions. Lower tire pressures and larger volume provides a compliant ride with fewer vibrations. Significant watt savings when running larger tires at lower pressure. Wide hookless rims create a seamless transition to the tire, reducing drag.   Specification: Orientation (wheels): Rear Size (wheels): 700c Rim construction: Carbon Tire compatibility: Clincher Tubeless Ready Rim depth: 45mm Surface texture: Smooth Brake compatibility: Disc (Center Lock) Rim – inside width: 23mm Rim profile: Symmetrical Rim finish: UD fiber / Bake-On labels / Matte clear coat Color (Decal): Standard Nipple material: Brass Nipple anti-rotation: Sapim Secure-Loc Spoke type: CX-Sprint Spoke count: 24 Spoke pattern: 2 Cross Hub: 176D Color (hub): Black Axle type (Wheels): TA 12×142 Axle material: Aluminum front & rear Bearings: Cartridge – Stainless Steel Driver Mechanism: 3 Pawls Leaf Spring Driver body material: Aluminum Max tire pressure: 73psi Max recommended rider weight: 250lbs
