With a new rim profile, the 303s are wider and marginally deeper than the previous version and use a full toroidal rim profile mimicking the deeper 404s and 808s.
By increasing the rim width, Zipp's 45mm deep rim performs with the same aerodynamics as a much deeper wheel while adding lateral stiffness. Zipp claims the wheel is a great all-rounder. I would agree.
