Zipp 303 Wheel Set 2008: Designed for severe racing conditions dominated by steep climbs, wicked winds, and the need for immediate acceleration, the technology-packed 303 significantly diminishes muscular road fatigue without sacrificing the convenience of clincher tires.The 303 wheels are ideal for criteriums and excel in road racing. Triathletes or lightweight riders desiring a wheel with minimal reaction to cross winds will also find the 303 Clincher a fine choice. Snappy on the ascent, stable on the descent, and quick on the curves, the 303 is as hungry for the win as you are.The high performance 303 incorporates a bundle of significant enhancements, including Zipp's latest improvements to ICT carbon fiber processing, and the maturation of performance and comfort enhancing VCLC technology. Lateral stiffness is more than double that of traditional rims while the vertically compliant carbon element ensures a comfortable riding experience over all too common rough roads. Zipp's exclusive VCLC technology dramatically reduces rider fatigue, particularly in the hands, arms, neck, and posterior – while greater control of the tire contact patch simultaneously improves cornering grip and minimizing rolling resistance. Zipp's patented regenerative airfoil makes the rim appear deeper when slicing into headwinds, while improving cornering control by appearing shallower to side windsUsing M2CM technology, a hand-crafted Carbon rim is wed to a totally new alloy extrusion resulting in an aerodynamically superior 40mm deep clincher rim that's over 100 grams lighter than the average 30mm deep conventional alloy rim. The 44mm rim depth preserves nearly all the aerodynamic advantage of our deeper rims while not sacrificing weight. For the first time on a structural carbon fiber rim, custom post machining finishes each rim to ensure a perfectly parallel, machined aluminum braking surface to provide sure and dependable braking. Clincher tires exhibit different aerodynamic properties than tubular tires, so we subtly alter the shape of the clincher profile to maximize the aerodynamic characteristics of clincher tires. The clincher rim is completely new with further enhanced aerodynamics, resulting from careful shaping of the rim profile to match popular tire brands and widths. As a side bonus, the new rim shape is over 15% stiffer without any weight penalty. And yes, for 2008 we've incorporated our new Carbon Bridge technology into the 303 tubular for greater stiffness and impact resistance. In all, the 303 is an outstanding choice for fast riders demanding lightweight, aerodynamics and great overall ride characteristics. Q/R Skewers or wheels bag not included.We recommend the use of Zipp brake blocks and Valve extensions.
