The clincher version of the 404 utilizes the same go-anywhere, win-anything 58mm rim depth of the tubular model but offers the everyday convenience of clincher tires and the reliability of an aluminum brake track.
For greater strength and reliability, Zipp`s M2CM technology fuses the aluminum hoop to the inner carbon section during the molding process. Still, the 404 clincher’s 1658g total weight is less than many full-carbon clinchers. Of course, none of those other wheels offer Zipp’s exclusive features like ABLC dimples, VCLC vibration-reduction technologies, and the smooth, stiff, durable 88/188 hubset.
