The 808 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-wheels are all about science to achieve speed. That’s the perfect approach for Zipp’s stiff deep-rim choice for criteriums, road racing, or any kind of hammer-fest. At 80mm deep, its rim is designed to make you faster in every way. Zipp’s Total System Efficiency design approach, or TSE, infuses the 808 Firecrest with new features, including a huge drop in weight from its previous iteration, well more than 280 grams. Also, the wheel is designed with a hookless and tubeless rim profile and 23mm internal width. That’s ideal for running wider tires at lower pressure for reduced rolling resistance and greater cornering grip.
- TSE attacks the four primary barriers to speed: Wind Resistance, Gravity, Rolling Resistance, and Vibration Losses
- Full Carbon Firecrest rim shape provides high aero efficiency and crosswind stability
- ABLC Technology uses a complex dimpling pattern to improve aero efficiency
- Optimized for tubeless tires, with the option to run Tubeless or tubeless ready tires with tubes
- ZR1 Disc Brake hub features a better seal design for improved durability and quicker response with 66 points of engagement
- Built with Sapim CX Sprint J-bend spokes
