is designed to make you faster
in every way. Zipp’s Total System Efficiency design approach, or TSE, infuses the 808 Firecrest with
new features, including a huge drop in weight from its previous iteration, well more than 300 grams. Also, the wheel is designed with a hookless and tubeless rim profile and 23mm internal width. That’s ideal for running wider tres at lower pressure for reduced rolling resistance and greater cornering grip. In fact, TSE attacks the four primary barriers to speed: Wind Resistance, Gravity, Rolling Resistance, and Vibration Losses. Zipp’s legendary Firecrest rim shape provides high aero efficiency and crosswind stability.
Also, Zipp’s ABLC Technology
uses a complex dimpling pattern to improve aero efficiency.
What’s more, while this wheelset is optimized for tubeless tres,
you still have the option to run Tubeless or tubeless ready tres with tubes. The 808 Firecrest with TSE builds on this wheel’s legacy as a go-to wheel for TT and tri. This wheelset is fastest with a 28mm tire. Disc brakes also offer more reliable speed modulation and braking power in all weather conditions. What’s more, in triathlon, running wider tubeless tres at lower pressure makes you faster while also smoothing out the ride so your legs are fresher for the all-important run. Zipp’s German- engineered ZR1 DB Hubset provides quick engagement with robust durability, adding to the punchiness of the 808 Firecrest.
