Zipp 404 Clydesdale Series
Front Wheel
Product Overview The 404 Series is designed to excel in triathlons, road
races, and time trials. This lightweight wheel/wheel set might be the perfect
choice for cyclists looking for an aerodynamic advantage on the road and want
to use the same wheel/wheel set in triathlons and time trials. From victories
at the Ironman World Championships to victories in the Tour de France, the Zipp
404 series has proved itself over and over again across the racing spectrum.
Clydesdale version features increased rim stiffness, more spokes, and a 108 hub
to deliver greater torsional stiffness for heavier riders.
Employment - Triathlons / Time Trials: 58mm rims with dimple technology
and bladed spokes improve aerodynamics to slice through the wind with ease. At
only 626g (tubular front) the 404 Clydesdale saves you energy at the most energy
inefficient moments – accelerating and climbing (this point is especially
critical for women and lighter men as changing the momentum of a heavier wheel
is increasingly harder as the wheel’s weight is a higher percentage of the
total bike/rider weight). - Road Racing: Aerodynamic advantage, low weight, and
vertical stiffness makes the 404 series and excellent choice for variable
terrain road racing – fast on the flats, quick up the hills, and precise around
the corners. Break away from the peleton with confidence! New for '08: -Carbon Bridge: Kevlar thread in a co-axial helix stitch
improve rim strength by distributing impact force. According to Zipp,
the Carbon Bridge results in "28% more impact resistance than any other
rim made at this weight".
Characteristics Weight: 626g (tubular); 858g (clincher) Rim: 58mm Carbon Spokes: 20 Hub: Zipp 108
