Zipp 808 Firecrest Carbon Disc Brake Road Wheel Clincher

The tide shift towards disc brake equipped road bikes has seen in influx of riders looking for the same deep dish, aerodynamic profiles found on their rim disc whips and an echoing sound of crickets when assessing options. Zipp answers the call with its 808 Firecrest Carbon Disc Brake Road Clincher Wheel, bringing blazing speed and lightning quick stopping power to your next ride. The 808 profile is aggressively designed to slice through the wind. It utilizes Zipp's signature Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control ABLC dimpling with strategically placed and sized dimples across the rim surface to reduce drag and smooth airflow, allowing the wheel to swoop through the air like a catnip fueled kitten zooming after a fleeing mouse.

In more relatable terms, these wheels go faster and handle better than the competition in the windy conditions you'll actually see out on the road. In addition to blazing speed on the flats, the 808's modest weight means it'll survive any climbs you might encounter without any troubles.

The rear hub is compatible with a separately sold XD driver body, giving riders options for a wider cassette range of up to a 10 42 if needed.
