Zipp 808 Firecrest carbon rear wheel Tubeless Shimano/SRAM- freewheel standard graphic

Zipp’s 808 Firecrest® Tubeless rim-brake wheel makes you faster with an 82mm rim depth that’s fast, stable in crosswinds, and now tubeless ready. That means you get all the aero benefits with having the ability to run lower tire pressure for increased cornering grip and compliance and reduced rolling resistance, without the risk of pinch flats. This wheelset is infused with technologies developed in their Indianapolis advanced development lab. Zipp’s ABLC™ Sawtooth™ Technology uses a complex dimpling pattern to improve aero efficiency. Zipp’s ShowStopper™ textured braking surface delivers unrivaled rim braking performance in wet or dry conditions. At the center of the 808 Firecrest Tubeless rim-brake is a versatile and durable new hubset, the German-engineered ZR1. Zipp’s new wheel cosmetics make this wheelset a perfect pairing of speed and style.

• New Zipp graphics and cosmetic identity that scream speed
• New ZR1 hub is engineered in Germany with better seal design for improved durability and quicker response with 66 points of engagement

• Ships with QR end caps, quick release skewers

ABLC®
Revised ABLC® (Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control) smooths airflow off the rim surface increasing the frequency of the vortex shedding, which creates smaller vortices, providing unmatched stability and control on even the windiest days.

Firecrest
Zipp`s proprietary Firecrest® rim rewrote the fundamentals of wheel making, resulting in improved aerodynamics, ride quality, wheel strength and stability in even the strongest of crosswinds. As a result, the entire Firecrest family of wheels - from the 202 to 808 Firecrest - makes a bigger difference in more ways than ever including being laced into the new 77/177 hubset.

Firecrest technology, with rims that maintain a near-constant width almost all the way to the spoke bed, is the first aero profile that effectively controls airflow around the back half of the wheel. By moving the center of pressure - the focal point of side forces on the rim - to its optimal location near the steering axis, Firecrest offers stable, predictable handling at every wind angle. As they discovered when developing the Zipp 303 to thrive under unforgiving conditions at the Spring Classics, a wider rim such as used in Firecrest wheels increases lateral stiffness for sprinting and cornering, yet offers greater vertical compliance for more control, comfort, and durability on rough surfaces.
