### Expert Notes

The most noticeable characteristic of the Zipp 303 is it features a shallower rim than the 404 and 808. This means the wheel will have better crosswind performance, and is lighter in weight. This option is great for riders who are concerned about wind or hills. It also is an appealing option for smaller riders, and those who are less experienced. It is best used as a front wheel, as rear wheels are better off having deeper rims for optimized aero performance. When the wind catches on your front wheel, it affects the handling, causing a constant fight to maintain control. This is where the shallower 303 really comes in handy. With its flexibility in varying conditions and speeds, the 303 has become the do-it-all front wheel choice for many riders who use Zipp wheels. 

### Product Description

The Zipp 303 wheelset is a true all-around wheel choice when it comes to road cycling, as it is adept in many different riding scenarios. They have been loaded with innovative improvements over the years. Zipp 303 wheels have an updated rim profile aimed at reducing aerodynamic drag, which leads to more speed. Zipp’s trademarked ABLC Sawtooth technology is a unique dimple pattern on the rim, which helps to achieve what Zipp calls greater “AeroBalance.” This is basically the optimization of crosswind stabilization and drag. Zipp also has a trademarked rim braking surface, ShowStopper, which is a heat-resistant textured surface intended to deliver great performance in wet or dry conditions.
