• The 58 mm carbon composite, deep depth, aerodynamic rims are exceptionally fast, responsive and long lasting. An average Zipp 404 tubular rim now weighs just 365 grams for a 700c size and only 340 grams for a 650c.
• Designed for the rigors of top level time trial and road racing competition. Widely used by professional time trialists and triathletes where rapid acceleration and sustainable top speeds are most important. The Belgian based Team Lotto and many other champions have ridden Zipp 404 wheels to thousands of victories.
• Available in a fast and feather light composite, tubular tire version in 650c or 700c wheel sizes.
• Constructed from aerospace grade carbon fiber with ICT for exceptional strength, performance and durability. Zipp invented and perfected Inversion Composite Technology (ICT) which employs a continuous banding of unbroken, radial composite fibers. ICT allows Zipp to build the lightest, stiffest and best performing composite wheels we have ever ridden.
• New VCLC technology adds comfort and durability by allowing the carbon rim walls to flex slightly while maintaining a rigid spoke assembly.
• The braking tracks are precisely machined and perfectly parallel.
• The braking tracks are Silica-Ceramic impregnated for smooth and solid stopping. We suggest using Zipp/Kool Stop Black pads with these wheels. Click on the underlined text to visit our Brake Pad page.
• Zipp 404 wheels feature Zipp 84 front and Zipp 202 rear hubs. They use straight pull 14/16/14 gauge Sapim ovalized spokes and come with 18 spoke front and 24 spoke rear 700c rims. 650c rims use 16 spokes for the front wheel and 20 for the rear.
• Total average wheel weight is an astounding, 1283 grams, for a set of 700c wheels without skewers. 650c wheels weigh just a mere 1177 grams per pair. For comparison a Campagnolo Eurus wheelset with out skewers loads the scales at 1460 grams. Unfortunately, most of the extra weight is in the rim which travels a greater distance than the hub, and requires more leg-sapping energy per revolution.
• Zipp 404 wheels are also available in a heavy duty Clydesdale version. Designed for 225 to 275 pound riders the Clydesdale version is identical to the normal 404 tubular except for the higher spoke count and beefier rims. They come in 700 C size only and use 24 spokes for the front wheel and 28 for the rear. The front wheel weighs just 622 grams while the rear tips the scales at 768 grams.
• User friendly; wheels are easy to true or repair. No need to return to the factory and endure long waiting times.
• Skewers, wheel bags and cassette lockrings are NOT included.
• All wheels are securely packed by our professional shipping staff.
• Proudly made in the USA by Zipp and solidly backed with a one year manufacturer's warranty.

Yes. All Zipp wheels come with your choice of a Campagnolo 9/10 or Shimano 8/9/10/10 speed rear hub. You can use Zipp wheels with Campagnolo 8 speed systems by using a "loose cog" Camapagnolo 9 speed cassette and a Wheels Shift 8 spacing kit.
Zipp wheels may also be used with Shimano rear derailleurs and STI shifters. Click on the underlined text to visit our Cassettes and Spacers catalog section for a detailed discussion of cassettes and spacing kits.

• Both front and rear rims have reinforced nipple seats to evenly support spoke tensioning forces. The front wheel is completely, radially laced. The rear wheel is radially laced on the non-drive side and 2 cross on the drive side.
• Straight pull spoke and hub design is combined with Sapim 14/16/14 spokes and alloy nipples. Shearing stresses and breakage, common to the elbow section of normal spokes, are eliminated. Stainless steel ovalized spokes are aerodynamic and exceptionally long lasting. These wheels hold their true beautifully.

• Hubs are made by Zipp and specifically designed for straight pull spokes. They come with hardened, 7075 alloy axles, precision sealed bearings and carbon end caps. Skewers are NOT included but are available.
• Spokes are constructed from 18/8 Stainless Steel.
• The front hub weighs a mere 84 grams while the rear tips the scales at only 202 grams.
• The rear hub is available with a Campagnolo 9/10 speed or a Shimano 8/9/10 speed cassette body.
  Zipp Campagnolo splined hubs require a Campagnolo 27.0 lockring. Click on the underlined text to visit our Cassettes and Spacers catalog section to see Campagnolo lockrings.
• The 7075 hardened aluminum alloy, cassette bodies are easy to change between Shimano and Campagnolo. We suggest getting a Shimano and a Campagnolo cassette body with the wheels if you use both systems.
