Premise: Zipp’s new 302 carbon clinchers are the aero pioneer’s latest, more affordable aero wheel, and we were pleased to find the shape isn’t nearly as bulbous and blunt as its 303 Firecrest design. We were also impressed with the tight build of the wheels, and their performance in serious crosswinds was confident. Braking in the dry is firm and noise-free, but they lack the feel given from the Showstopper brake track on pricier Zipps, and wet-weather performance is good
