It uses a \u003cb\u003e45mm-deep, hookless UD carbon rim\u003c\/b\u003e with a \u003cb\u003e23mm internal \/ 27mm external width\u003c\/b\u003e, a shape carried down from Zipp’s higher-tier 303 Firecrest Tubeless wheels to bring that same terrain versatility to a more accessible build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10.0pt;\"\u003eThe wider rim profile is designed to optimize tire shape at \u003cb\u003elower tubeless pressures\u003c\/b\u003e, which lowers rolling resistance and gives a more compliant ride over rough surfaces. Combined with reduced weight and wind resistance versus a traditional narrower rim, the result is a wheel built to reduce rider fatigue over long rides.
