The 808 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Wheelset from Zipp is based on science when it comes to speed. This wheel is perfect for triathlons, time trials, and competitions. The 80 mm high rim is designed to enhance your speed in every way. Zipp's approach to Total System Efficiency (TSE) gives the 808 Firecrest new features, including a significant weight reduction of over 300 grams compared to the previous model. Additionally, the wheel has been developed with a hookless and tubeless rim profile, along with an internal width of 23 mm, making it ideal for riding wider tires at lower pressures, thus improving rolling resistance and grip in corners.

TSE addresses the four main factors that affect speed: aerodynamic drag, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses. Zipp's legendary Firecrest rim shape offers high aerodynamic efficiency and stability in crosswinds. Zipp's ABLC technology employs a complex dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamic efficiency. While this wheelset is optimized for tubeless tires, you also have the option to use tubeless-compatible tires with tubes. The 808 Firecrest with TSE builds on the success of this wheel for time trials and triathlons, achieving the best results with a 28 mm tire.

Disc brakes provide more reliable speed control and braking power in all weather conditions. In triathlons, wider tubeless tires at lower pressures are faster and provide a smoother ride, keeping your legs fresher for the run. The ZR1 DB hub set designed in Germany ensures quick engagement and robust durability, further enhancing the performance of the 808 Firecrest.
