Zipp:
all kinds of fast
optimizing wheels to perform with precision and control at the depth of the 808 firecrest® carbon clincher is pure engineering science. While the 808 firecrest’s aerodynamics and stability are proven every weekend in road races, triathlons and time trials around the world, understanding how profoundly good these wheels are only comes from riding the wheel that, as a set, has proven faster than any other. At the centre of the 808 firecrest carbon clincher is zipp’s 77/177 hubset with best-in-class durability and improved bearing protection with no pre-load adjustment needed. The result is improved braking (showstopper™), aero performance, stiffness, durability, simplicity and versatility.
