Zipp 303 Firecrest® 650B Carbon Clincher Tubeless Disc 6-bolt Wheel
It comes alive when the road ends: the 303 Firecrest® 650B Tubeless Disc Wheel by Zipp<\/h2>
The sport of cycling continues to develop and now includes both road racing and gravel. At the same time, bicycle manufacturers have to meet the requirements of users with shorter body height. These two aspects were key considerations in the development of the Zipp 303 Firecrest® 650B Carbon Clincher Tubeless Disc wheel.
The 303 Firecrest 650B goes beyond where the asphalt road ends. The smaller rim size allows more space in the frame and fork, allowing wider tyres to be mounted with all their advantages: comfort, puncture resistance and cornering performance. These wider tyres also ensure that the overall diameter (i.e. wheel including tyre) is similar to that of a standard combination of a 700c wheel and narrow racing tyre.
On asphalt, the 303 Firecrest 650B is ideal for shorter cyclists who prefer smaller frames. These athletes no longer need to use 700c standard wheels and can finally benefit from the better handling.
With the launch of the 650B, the Zipp 303 Firecrest is without limits, now more than ever.

Technology:
Through the pioneering use of software to analyse numerical fluid mechanics and the power of a supercomputer, Zipp is able to understand exactly what makes wheels go fast. Zipp then tests the most promising rim shapes in the wind tunnel and on the road. This process led to the creation of Firecrest rim technology, which allows the wheel's airflow and centre of gravity to be controlled more effectively, resulting in better aerodynamics, better handling in crosswinds and an overall better cycling experience.
ABLC™
The revised ABLC (Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control) design reduces drag through more and smaller swirls to provide unsurpassed stability and handling even in the strongest winds.
