2012 Zipp 808 Firecrest Tubular Rear Wheel
Faster than any competitor's 90mm rim, the feature-packed Zipp 808 Firecrest wheel delivers the speed of a much deeper rim with the handling of a much shallower one. It has a wider profile than the popular 808, resulting in better lateral stiffness for efficient power transfer and instant acceleration. Whether you're climbing, sprinting or setting a quad-burning pace, you'll notice (and appreciate) the difference the 808 Firecrest Tubular's high-performance aerodynamic profile makes.- The Zipp 808 Firecrest tubular wheel provides the speed of a much deeper rim with the handling of a much shallower one
- Wide rim shape provides efficient power transfer, excellent comfort and durability -- making it a great choice for a variety of terrain and riding styles
- Handles crosswinds with the stability of a much shallower rim, making the 808 Firecrest tubular road wheel ideal for non-disc-legal courses like Kona
- Patented Advanced Boundary Layer Control (ABLC) dimpled pattern smooths airflow across the rim's surface
- Visco-Elastic Constrained Layer Control (VCLC) uses a vibration-absorbing material sandwiched between layers of rigid carbon laminate in the rim for a 10 percent reduction in vibration
- Exclusive heat-resistant resin prevents spikes in rim temperature and tire pressure that can impact performance and handling
- Carbon Bridge with Kevlar thread disperses shock more evenly throughout the carbon laminate, making the rim that virtually bulletproof
- Thanks to its wider profile, the 808 Firecrest Tubular exhibits improved lateral stiffness for efficient power transfer and crisp acceleration
- Zipp 188 hub features a 7.5 mm-wider rear bearing stance, and a 2-degree cant on the non-driveside flange for increased stiffness and reliability
- Maximum recommended rider weight: 225 lbs
