Product details

ZIPP 808 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Front Wheel

The Zipp 808 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Front wheel is engineered for speed and performance in criteriums, road racing, and time trials. Featuring an 80mm deep carbon rim with a hookless and tubeless profile, it supports wider tires at lower pressures to reduce rolling resistance and enhance cornering grip.

Utilizing Zipp's Total System Efficiency (TSE) design, this wheel addresses wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses to maximize speed. The ABLC Sawtooth dimple pattern improves aerodynamic efficiency and crosswind stability, while the ZR1 DB hub, engineered in Germany, offers quick engagement and durability with 66 points of engagement.

Compatible with tubeless tires only, the wheel features a center lock rotor interface with included lockring and supports a maximum tire pressure of 73psi (5.0bar). Its 23mm internal rim width and symmetrical profile make it ideal for running minimum 25mm tires, optimized for 28mm tires for best performance.
