Unequivocally the most aerodynamic non-disc wheelset available anywhere in the world, and even faster than any three-spoke in all conditions, 808 aero wheel is lethal and legal - in all triathlon and road race applications. An arsenal of technological tools awaits the serious triathlete and strikes fear into the heart of the competition. Peter Reid has scorched the Queen K with these beauties as David Zabriskie did in the Tour de France with the fastest Time Trial ever recorded. Thanks to a partially ovoid rim cross-section, and an 82mm rim patent pending dimpled surface with Zipp's exclusive aerodynamic shape, you'll be at the finish line before the wind even knows you're out there. Rapidly becoming the wheel of choice for time trialists, and triathletes worldwide, the 808 is winning over athletes at every level of competition.
Available in:
Clincher, Clydesdale, Track, Tubular, Powertap and ZedTech versionsTubular:
Faster than a 3 spoke in any condition, faster than even our 404, the 808s patent pending ABLC dimpled rim surface combined with a rim depth of 81mm simply humbles any racecourse. This is the best all around time trial wheelset available anywhere. The days of being blown around mercilessly on windy courses are over. The 808 provides almost as much speed a disc, without the potentially hazardous handling shortcomings. Just when you thought it couldnt get any better, the 808 is draft legal. Thats right, you can road race the 808, and it is legal in ALL triathlon applications.
