The Zipp 808 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-wheelset is engineered for pure speed, making it an exceptional choice for criteriums, road racing, time trials, triathlons, or any race where every second counts. With an 80mm deep rim, the 808 Firecrest is designed to deliver maximum aerodynamic efficiency, making it one of the fastest wheels in Zipp's lineup.
This wheelset features Zipp's Total System Efficiency (TSE) design, which targets the four main barriers to speed: wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses. The result is a wheel that is not only faster but also significantly lighter—more than 280 grams lighter than its predecessor. The 23mm internal width is perfect for running wider tubeless tires at lower pressures, which reduces rolling resistance and enhances cornering grip, giving you a smoother and faster ride.
Zipp's legendary Firecrest rim shape, combined with ABLC dimpling technology, further improves aerodynamic efficiency and stability in crosswinds. The hookless and tubeless-ready rim design adds to the wheel's versatility, allowing you to run tubeless or tubeless-ready tires with tubes if preferred. The 808 Firecrest is optimized for use with 28mm tires, offering the best balance of speed and comfort.
The German-engineered ZR1 DB hubset in the 808 Firecrest provides quick engagement and robust durability, ensuring that the wheelset performs reliably in all conditions. Disc brakes also enhance braking power and modulation, giving you more control in any weather.
Whether you're aiming to dominate in a time trial, triathlon, or a criterium, the Zipp 808 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-wheelset is built to make you faster and more efficient, helping you cross the finish line ahead of the competition.
