It belongs on the shortlist for a road-racing or fast-training build when you want to compare an established aero format with both the more accessible 404 S and the premium 454 NSW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:16px 18px;background:#f4f7f4;border-left:3px solid #0F502C;margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you are buying:\u003c\/strong\u003e A complete front-and-rear wheelset.

A turn onto an open road, the last interval, the run toward the finish: these are the riding moments that make an aero-road build appealing. The 404 Firecrest gives that build a recognizable 58 mm profile, with the specification detail to compare it properly against both the 404 S and the 454 NSW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version combines a 23 mm internal rim width with Zipp's TSE approach and ABLC surface dimpling. The ZR1 DB hub has 66 engagement points. The useful question is how that package fits your riding and tire plan; it is not a reason to assume a particular watt saving or effortless handling in every wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection aria-label=\"Zipp 404 Firecrest product views\" class=\"brimstone-zipp-visuals\" style=\"margin:28px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eZipp 404 Firecrest: a closer look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:16px;align-items:stretch;\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:0;flex:1 1 260px;min-width:0;background:#ffffff;border:1px solid #e5e9e5;border-radius:8px;overflow:hidden;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"Zipp 404 Firecrest front wheel, side view\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1000\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sram.com\/globalassets\/image-hierarchy\/sram-product-root-images\/wheels\/wheels\/wh-404-firecrest-tl-db-b1\/productassets_wh-404-ftld-b1_fg\/wh-404-fc-tl-dbcl-700f-12x100-std-b1-c-side-s-v2.png?w=1000\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;object-fit:contain;background:#ffffff;\" width=\"1000\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption style=\"padding:12px 16px 16px;font-size:0.92em;line-height:1.5;\"\u003eThe 58 mm Firecrest profile in side view.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\u003cfigure style=\"margin:0;flex:1 1 260px;min-width:0;background:#ffffff;border:1px solid #e5e9e5;border-radius:8px;overflow:hidden;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"Zipp 404 Firecrest rear wheel, angled view with XDR freehub\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1000\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sram.com\/globalassets\/image-hierarchy\/sram-product-root-images\/wheels\/wheels\/wh-404-firecrest-tl-db-b1\/productassets_wh-404-ftld-b1_fg\/wh-404-fc-tldbcl-700r-xdr-12x142-std-b1-c-3q-s-v2.png?w=1000\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;object-fit:contain;background:#ffffff;\" width=\"1000\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption style=\"padding:12px 16px 16px;font-size:0.92em;line-height:1.5;\"\u003eThe rear hub, driver and rim viewed from an angle.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.86em;line-height:1.5;color:#555;margin:10px 0 0;\"\u003eOfficial Zipp product photography.
