Description
The Zipp 808 Firecrest® tubeless wheelset for disc brakes is a product of pure engineering. Of course it is. Gaining speed with a rim height of 82mm is one thing, but to offer impeccable stability in side winds, you have to analyze every detail. And yet that's what the 808 Firecrest disc brake manages to accomplish: speed, stability and tubeless compatibility. That means you get all the aerodynamic benefits of lower air pressure to improve grip and cornering tolerance and reduce rolling resistance without the risk of a pinch puncture. You also benefit from the unrivalled braking power of disc brakes. This wheelset features many technologies developed in our advanced research laboratory in Indianapolis. Zipp's ABLC™ Sawtooth™ technology uses a complex honeycomb pattern to improve aerodynamic efficiency. At the heart of the 808 Firecrest tubeless disc brake is the ZR1 DB, a new versatile and robust hub designed in Germany. This wheelset features Zipp's new aesthetic to combine speed and style on the bike.
