Zipp 303 Firecrest TSE A1 Front wheel – Carbon Clincher Tubeless – Disc Brake

Time to upgrade your ride with a beautiful front wheel!

This front wheel is currently going for AUD$1440 (which is less than it was 3 years ago)

Bought in May 2021 and sadly not ridden as much as intended and never raced, due to covid and other life changes. I’ve realised I’m not going back to racing so I have decided my beautiful Zipp wheels should have more fun owner.

This front wheel was serviced in January 2024 and I have not ridden it since, it is in mint condition.

Welcome to inspect or call to ask more questions.
Pick up from Fairfield Vic or an option to pick up in Melbourne CBD during work hours

Website blurb:
Efficiency Equals Speed
Zipp’s 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake wheelset is designed for the real world… a world of imperfect conditions, road surfaces, and elements
where the bottom line is simple. Efficiency = speed.
Light and Faster than any 303 Before
It’s faster, 300 Grams lighter, and more capable over varied terrain whether the surface is pavement in all its conditions or no pavement at all. Deeply rooted in Zipp’s drive to conquer the Spring Classics, the new 303 Firecrest is redesigned with a purpose-made approach for the demands of modern road bikes.
This is the first Zipp wheelset to feature TSE™ Technology (Total System Efficiency)
The 303 Firecrest’s precise rim layup results in greater all-around efficiency for greater speed:
Standout Highlights Are
• Wind Resistance
• Rolling Resistance
• Gravity (Weight + Durability)
• Vibration Losses
In a League of its Own
The 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc brake was designed using real-world direct measurements (vs. primarily wind tunnel or computer simulation). This included Zipp’s new RollingRoad™ Testing Protocol. The results were huge. Its rim is slightly more bulbous in design than its predecessor, with a 30mm outside width, a 25mm internal width, and a 40mm rim depth. The profile provides low drag and an improved transition between rim and tyre, boosting aero efficiency on the road. The wide rim stance also features less tyre deflection for reduced rolling resistance.
Designed to Reduce Fatigue
The combination of the wider tyre, increased tyre volume, and lower tyre pressure helps to reduce rider fatigue by smoothing out the ride over imperfect pavement and road conditions the tyre and wheel system absorbs the shaking, not the rider. At the centre of the 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc brake is a versatile and durable new hubset, the German-engineered ZR1 DB.
