ZIPP 808 Firecrest CL Disc Front Wheel: The Apex of Aerodynamic Speed
Unleash your full potential on the open road with the ZIPP 808 Firecrest CL Disc front wheel. Engineered for the demanding needs of road racers, triathletes, and time trial specialists, this wheel is a masterclass in aerodynamic efficiency and uncompromising performance. When every second counts, the 808 Firecrest delivers the speed, stability, and control you need to shatter your personal bests and dominate the competition. It is the ultimate choice for those who refuse to compromise on speed.
The defining feature of this ‘Carbon’ front wheel is its commanding ‘High profile > 40 mm’ depth. The 80mm deep rim is meticulously shaped using Zipp´s signature Firecrest design to slice through the air with minimal resistance, converting every watt of power into pure, unadulterated velocity. This is further enhanced by the ABLC™ Sawtooth™ dimple pattern, which helps manage airflow around the rim´s surface, reducing high-yaw drag and improving crosswind stability. This means you can hold your aerodynamic tuck with confidence, even in challenging, gusty conditions.
Zipp´s Total System Efficiency™ (TSE) design philosophy is at the very core of the 808 Firecrest. This ’28´´- 700′ wheel features a progressive 23mm internal width with a ‘Tubeless’ and hookless rim profile. This modern interface is optimized for running wider tires at lower pressures, which creates a larger contact patch for superior cornering grip and a significant reduction in rolling resistance. The result is not just more straight-line speed, but a smoother, more comfortable ride that reduces vibration and rider fatigue, allowing you to stay stronger for longer on your ‘Road Cycling’ adventures.
Speed is nothing without control. That´s why this ‘Front’ wheel is built for the superior modulation and all-weather stopping power of a ‘Disc Brake’ system. At its heart lies the German-engineered ZR1 ‘Disc Brake’ hub, offering exceptional durability and a quick-response engagement that translates every pedal stroke into instant forward momentum. Laced with 20 robust Sapim CX-Sprint spokes, the wheel provides a stiff, predictable, and highly responsive feel, inspiring complete confidence whether you´re descending a technical alpine pass or navigating a tight criterium circuit.
Upgrade your ride and experience a new level of performance. The ZIPP 808 Firecrest CL Disc front wheel is more than just a component; it´s a declaration of your intent to be the fastest.
