Zipp:
overview
zipp’s 808 firecrest® tubeless disc-wheelset is all about science to achieve speed. At 80mm deep, its rim is designed to make you faster in every way. Zipp’s total system efficiency™ technology, or tse™, infuses the 808 firecrest with new features, including a huge drop in weight from its previous iteration. 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. In fact, tse™ attacks the four primary barriers to speed: wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses. Zipp’s legendary firecrest rim shape provides high aero efficiency and crosswind stability. Also, zipp’s ablc™ sawtooth™ technology uses a complex dimpling pattern to improve aero efficiency. Zipp’s german-engineered zr1 db hubset provides quick engagement with robust durability, adding to the punchiness of the 808 firecrest.
