It features the Firecrest rim profile, specially designed to provide air-slicing aerodynamics and to be extremely stable in windy conditions. The rim design features the Zipp specific SawTooth dimple surface, which further reduces aerodynamic drag and helps to significantly increase control in strong crosswinds. It has been optimised to perform best with the modern wider tyre sizes up to 28mm (28c) in width, the wider tyre width increases rolling speed and grip, while being more comfortable. When braking, the wider tyre profile provides a larger tyre contact patch with the road, ensuring greater stability and traction Fast, Responsive and Durable. The full carbon rim is amazingly flex-free, which noticeably benefits power-transfer from the rider to the road. It enhances the experience of confidence-inspiring stability at all speeds, all weather conditions and across any terrain you are cycling on.

It also improves handling in crosswinds significantly and increases the ride quality enormously. Hexfin Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control (ABLC): The Sawtooth dimple design consists of 12 nodes that are specifically clocked to start aerodynamic shearing at a rate of 50hz at a rider speed of 20mph. Sawtooth accomplishes this by inducing small sheet vortices that shed at a low magnitude, but at a higher natural frequency, thus decreasing the laminar bubble effect on the aerodynamically shielded side of the rim‚Äôs profile to further reduce high yaw drag and improve crosswind stability.
