The qualities that make the 303 ideal for road races like Paris-Roubaix also make it the ultimate tubular cyclocross wheelset, as selected by riders like Tim Johnson, Todd Wells, Katie Compton, and Jeremy Powers. Its 45mm deep, 27.5mm wide, fully toroidal rim profile acts like a leaf spring to dampen vibration on rough surfaces and minimize the chance of damage from major impacts.
Despite its toughness and stability, the 303 Cyclocross is lighter than many dedicated climbing wheelsets at just 1206 grams and provides excellent lateral stiffness when accelerating out of technical corners and punching over short, steep hills.
The 303’s wide, deep tire bed makes it easy to mount 32mm ‘cross tubulars and adds protection against pinch flats at low pressure. Its angled brake track improves modulation in all conditions. When the weather warms up, the 303 excels as a light, stiff road racing wheelset with the added benefits of Zipp’s exclusive aero technologies like our ABLC™ dimples.
The cyclocross version of the 303 is built with Zipp’s fully sealed 88/188 hubset with 24 front and 24 rear spokes.
