AMWH 808 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Centre Lock Wheelset 7PAIR STD A1

The Zipp 808 Firecrest® Carbon Tubeless Disc Centre Lock wheelset features an 82 mm deep disc brake compatible rim that is both fast and crosswind resistant thanks to its special structure. It can also be driven tubeless which allows for lower tyre pressures and more cornering grip.

Features:

- new Zipp graphics for a speedy look
- 82 mm aero rim profile, tubeless compatible, ready for higher speed and better cornering, handling and comfort
- ZR1 DB hub (manufactured in Germany) with revised seal design for improved durability and faster response
- ABLC SawTooth™ Dimple Design helps to control the airflow around the rim and contributes to speed and stability
- aluminium axles
- front can be converted to 9 x 100 mm quick release or 15 x 100 mm thru-axle (end caps sold separately)
- rear can be converted to 10 x 135 mm quick release (end caps sold separately)

Technology:

Firecrest®
Through the pioneering use of software to analyse numerical fluid mechanics and the power of a super computer, Zipp is able to understand exactly what makes wheels go fast. Zipp then tests the most promising rim shapes in the wind tunnel and on the road. This process led to the Firecrest rim technology, which allows the airflow and centre of gravity of the wheel to be controlled more effectively, resulting in better aerodynamics, better handling in crosswinds and a better riding experience.

ABLC SawTooth™
This patented rim shape achieves what conventional aero wheels cannot: it simultaneously reduces aerodynamic drag and lateral wind forces, providing the ultimate AeroBalance™. In addition, the ABLC recesses ensure improved air flow. The result is lower aerodynamic drag and reduced lateral wind forces at any angle of attack. This is important because the steeper the wind angle, the larger the influence on the handling of the bike.
