ZIPP 808 Firecrest Disc carbon wheels 82mm tubeless tyre 2024

Zipp 808 Firecrest disc wheels

The Zipp 808 Firecrest ® tubeless disc brake wheelset is a product of pure engineering. Obviously. Gaining speed with an 82mm rim height is one thing, but to offer impeccable stability in crosswinds, you have to analyze the smallest details. And yet that's what the 808 Firecrest for disc brakes manages to achieve: speed, stability and tubeless compatibility. This means you get all the aero goodness with the option to go for lower tire pressure to gain grip and forgiveness in corners and reduce rolling resistance without the risk of a pinch flat. You also benefit from the incomparable stopping power of disc brakes. This wheelset features many technologies developed in our advanced research lab in Indianapolis. Zipp 's ABLC™ Sawtooth™ technology employs an intricate dimple pattern to improve aerodynamic efficiency. At the heart of the 808 Firecrest tubeless for disc brakes is the ZR1 DB, a new versatile and robust hub designed in Germany. This Zipp 808 Firecrest wheelset features Zipp 's new aesthetic to combine speed and style on the bike.

Technologies

Showstopper™

Our industry-leading silicone carbide Showstopper™ drag track continues to evolve and improve, delivering unmatched stopping power and modulation regardless of weather conditions or length of descent.

ABLC™

Advanced Boundary Layer Control (ABLC) refers to the highly recognizable patented pattern found on all our carbon rims. The ABLC, which attenuates the airflow on the surface of the rim, is adapted to each model, from the 202 to the Super-9. The third generation of ABLC offers four times more footprints than before.

AeroBalance™

AeroBalance™ simultaneously reduces both aerodynamic drag and side force

XDR™

The XDR™ driver body is a universal mounting system for cassettes that incorporate cogs with fewer than 11 teeth. It allows for lighter and more versatile drivetrains without requiring new rear axle standards, cassette tools or hub redesigns. The XDR™ interface is 1.85mm longer than XD™ and is designed for road hub applications. XDR™ driver bodies are compatible with all XD™ cassettes when the cassette is installed with a 1.85mm spacer.
