According to the product specialist
Pros
| At 1540 grams, the Zipp 303 S Tubeless Disc Brake is light enough for uphill riding, but aerodynamic enough for downhill riding thanks to its 45 mm high rim. |
| With an internal rim width of 23 mm, 28 mm tyres work best, with maximum aerodynamic benefits and the lowest rolling resistance. |
| The Zipp 76/176 hubs are virtually maintenance-free, very reliable and continue to work well over the long term. |
| Tubeless tyres can be fitted to the rims with or without inner tubes. This makes it possible to ride tubeless, with advantages such as lower rolling resistance, better grip and more comfort. |
| The Zipp 404 wheels are oriented towards pure speed due to the 58 mm high rim. Thanks to optimum aerodynamics, you can ride faster without having to put in more effort. |
| The Zipp ZR1 hubs, developed in Germany, have bearings with a good seal and improved durability. The 6 pawl body engages super fast so minimal energy is lost when starting. |
| Lifelong warranty on production faults, except for wear and tear. Ultimate security! |
| Equipped with ABLC Dimples for more wind stability while riding. |
| 28 mm tubeless tyres fit perfectly on this hookless rim. |
Cons
| The Zipp 303 S is only suitable for tubeless (ready) tyres at a maximum pressure of 5 bar, not for normal folding tyres. |
| The 3-pawl body grips less quickly than, for example, a ratchet body. |

| The Sapim CX Sprint J-bend spokes provide more comfort than straight pull spokes, but give less stiffness to the wheel. |
