ZIPP 808 Firecrest CL Disc Rear Wheel: Engineered for Pure Velocity
Unleash your ultimate speed with the ZIPP 808 Firecrest CL Disc rear wheel, an icon of velocity meticulously re-engineered for the modern era of road cycling, triathlon, and time trials. This wheel is the definitive choice for athletes who demand uncompromising aerodynamic performance and all-around efficiency. It’s more than just a wheel; it’s a competitive advantage designed to help you dominate the course and shatter your personal bests.
The 808 Firecrest is built around Zipp´s Total System Efficiency (TSE) design approach, focusing on overcoming the four primary barriers to speed: wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses. The commanding high profile > 40 mm carbon rim, with its depth of 80mm, is a masterclass in aerodynamics. It features Zipp’s signature ABLC Sawtooth™ dimple pattern, which manages airflow around the rim to create a faster, more stable wheel. This proven design significantly reduces aerodynamic drag, allowing you to maintain higher speeds with less effort, while also providing remarkable crosswind stability for a wheel of this depth, giving you confidence and control when conditions are challenging.
Optimized for today’s wider tires, this 28´´- 700 wheel features a generous 23mm internal width and a tubeless, hookless rim profile. This modern design creates a more seamless and efficient interface between the rim and tire, lowering rolling resistance and allowing for lower tire pressures. The result is a smoother ride that reduces rider fatigue, enhances cornering grip, and provides a tangible speed advantage over rough pavement. This is the pinnacle of performance for Road Cycling.
At the core of this exceptional rear wheel is the German-engineered ZR1 DB hub. This robust and durable hub provides lightning-fast engagement and a responsive feel under power, ensuring that every watt you produce is transferred directly to the road. Mated with powerful Disc Brake capabilities via a Center Lock rotor mount, the 808 Firecrest delivers superb modulation and unrivaled stopping power in all weather conditions, from dry, fast descents to wet, technical corners. This Carbon wheel is the ultimate fusion of speed, efficiency, and control, built to carry you to the finish line faster than ever before.
