Catalog weight is 1450 g but mine measured 1550 with valves and tape. Oh well...
The Zipp disc lockrings were 1 g lighter than DuraAce ones..

Exact same for me 1550g: 707g front, 843g rear with tape and valves, but not lockrings. Lockrings combined weight is an extra 15g

The zipp 404 product page has this note near the weight.
"Estimated lightest weight for wheelset configuration: 12mm through axles and XDR body. No tape or valve included in weight. Not yet final."

Estimated weight for unrideable condition lol.
Is the XDR body, tape, and valves actually worth a full 100 grams?

404 length alloy valves and tape weight like 40g total, not 100g.

The valves are also way longer than they needed to be.

The XDR freehub is the lightest of the available options.

Apparently it's about 36 grams more for a Shimano HG freehub?
Which still leaves about 14 grams unaccounted for. Maybe the stickers? lol

Well… that could be the quite usual “optimistic” weight claimed by marketing teams or an heavier rim tape (recently removed the one from my DT Arc 1100 and they were 36 and 31g each).
