The 404 Firecrest® Track Tubular takes our already stiff and aero track wheel, and -- well -- revolutionizes it. New for 2013, our 404 track offering now features our proprietary Firecrest rim shape. That means triackies now benefit from the superior aerodynamics, stiffness and stabilty that made the Firecrest shape a revolutionary technology out on the road. Add 28 front/rear spokes with a two-cross rear lacing pattern and our massively stiff track hubset, and the 404 Track tubular wheelset is ready for all the sprint you've got. Available with Classic White decals and silver hubs. MSRP: Front wheel $1,085 / €996
ABLC™ (Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control)
Advanced Boundary Layer Control (ABLC) refers to the patented and instantly recognizable dimpled pattern found on all of our carbon rims. ABLC smoothes airflow across the rim's surface and is tailored to every model from the 202 to the Super-9 Disc. The third-generation of ABLC has up to four times more dimples than before.
VCLC™ (Visco-Elastic Constrained Layer Control)
Visco-Elastic Constrained Layer Control (VCLC) uses a vibration-absorbing material sandwiched between layers of rigid carbon laminate in the rim. When the wheel receives an impact from the road, much of the shock is absorbed by the VCLC system, delivering a 10% reduction in vibration.
Carbon Bridge™
Carbon Bridge uses a Kevlar® thread in a co-axial helix stitch to bind sheets of carbon to each other in our tubular rims. Because Kevlar is 350% more impact resistant than carbon, it can disperse shock more evenly throughout the carbon laminate, making for a rim that is practically bulletproof. In particular, Carbon Bridge reduces the vulnerability of the rim's tire bed, the area most susceptible to damage from impact. |
