WHEELS: ZIPP 808 Wheelset

Description:

ZIPP 808 Clincher

The 808 clincher is the closest thing to riding a disc in terms of ultimate speed that is currently available. It is faster than any 3 spoke, it is faster than our 404 wheelset. The 808’s patent pending ABLC dimpled rim surface combined with a rim depth of 81mm simply humbles any racecourse. This is the best all around time trial wheelset available anywhere.


The days of being blown around mercilessly on windy courses are over. The 808 provides almost as much speed a disc, without the potentially hazardous handling shortcomings. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the 808 is draft legal. That’s right, you can road race the 808, and it is legal in ALL triathlon applications.
