Zipp 808 Tubular Wheelset
Sizes:
700c
Can you turn the pedals and make those skinny climbers suffer on the flats? Here’s your new weapon. When Zipp introduced the 808, it was considered a time trial and sprint/Olympic triathlon wheelset. In those disciplines, it has netted numerous Tour de France stage wins and Kona world championships with Normann Stadler and Craig Alexander.
But lately, cycling’s fastest finishers have realized that deep-section wheels like the 808 can help them save energy while sitting in the field and increase their top speed in the final meters. At 1499 grams for the tubular version, the 808 wheelset is no slouch on the climbs, either.
With a toroidal 81mm rim profile and those exclusive ALBC dimples, the 808 is both more aerodynamic than a three-spoke and more stable in gusty crosswinds. Whether your elbows are resting on the aero bars or banging with another sprinter, the 808 provides the speed you need to win.
