ZIPP 808 Firecrest Front Wheel - 28" | Carbon | Tubeless Ready | Centerlock - 12x100mm - Special offer

The 808 Firecrest Tubeless Disc wheelset from Zipp is all about science when it comes to achieving speed.

Features of the ZIPP 808 Firecrest Front Wheel

• TSE design with 23 mm inner width with tubeless and hookless rim profile ideal for wider tires at lower tire pressure.
• Minimum tyre width 28 mm - the 808 is optimized for 28 mm tires.
• Almost 274 g lighter than the previous model.
• The ZR1 DB hubset, developed in Germany, has an improved seal design and faster response thanks to 66 points of engagement on the freehub body.
• An aerodynamic 80 mm rim profile.
• The ABLC dimple design helps control airflow around the rim and helps create a faster, more stable wheel.
• Superior modulation and stopping power of disc brakes.
• Centerlock brake rotor mount. End ring included.
• Built with Sapim™ CX Sprint J-bend spokes.
• Zipp graphics and visual elements that scream speed.
• Unlimited warranty from the manufacturer

Technologies of the ZIPP 808 Firecrest Front Wheel

TOTAL SYSTEM EFFICIENCY™

Faster riding on or off the road means efficiency - more speed with less power. The combination of a wider tubeless tire, lower tire pressure, a wider rim profile optimized for the tire interface and a new rim laminate ensures a more efficient ride. When applied to bicycles, efficiency means less effort in overcoming:

• air resistance
• gravity
• rolling resistance
• Vibration losses

ABLC SawTooth™

The new ABLC Sawtooth deepening design consists of 12 branching points that are specially synchronized. The aerodynamic thrust starts at 50 Hz and a travel speed of approx. 32 km/h. Sawtooth technology makes this possible through small vortex layers that separate at a low volume but a higher natural frequency. This reduces the laminar bubble effect on the aerodynamically shielded side of the rim profile and thus enables a further reduction in shear resistance and greater stability in crosswinds.
