The 808 Firecrest Tubeless Disc wheelset from Zipp is all about science when it comes to achieving speed. That's the perfect approach for Zipp's standard wheel for triathlons, time trials and hammer-fests. The 80 mm high rim is designed to make you faster in every way. Zipp's Total System Efficiency (TSE) design approach gives the 808 Firecrest new features, such as a significant weight reduction of more than 300 grams compared to the previous model. In addition, the wheel was developed with a hookless and tubeless rim profile and an internal width of 23 mm. This is ideal for running wider tires at lower pressure, thus improving rolling resistance and cornering grip. In fact, TSE combats the four main obstacles to speed: air resistance, gravity, rolling resistance and vibratory losses. Zipp's legendary Firecrest rim shape provides high aero efficiency and crosswind stability. Zipp's ABLC technology uses a complex dimple pattern to improve aero efficiency. And although this wheelset is optimized for tubeless tires, you still have the option of running tubeless-compatible tires with a tube. The 808 Firecrest with TSE builds on the success of this wheel for TT and triathlon. This wheelset is the fastest with a 28 mm tire. Disc brakes also offer more reliable speed control and braking power in all weather conditions. In triathlon, wider tubeless tires with lower pressure are faster and provide a smoother ride so your legs are fresher for the run. Zipp's German-engineered ZR1 DB hubset ensures quick engagement and rugged durability, adding to the 808 Firecrest's punch.
