Information

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
