Everything is relative. I used to think some of wheels I owned were stiff until I bought a pair of Mavic CCU..
Zipp 404 are below average in lateral stiffness at the rear. Your statement is a little surprising. I'm "only" 77 kgs and putting 1500 watts (peak), and noticed right away a huge difference between 2016 zipp 404 versus shimano c50 or mavic CCU..
If you get a chance, test the latter, you might be pleasantly surprised


Hear what you're saying, but just saying that I have been very happy with mine.

Saying that, my next set of wheels will be CK Enve 4.5's just due to their weight.
