Zipp 808 NSW Carbon Tubeless Clincher Front Wheel

Zipp 808 NSW Carbon Tubeless Clincher Front Wheel

Uniting the brand’s years of aerodynamically inspired design experience with highly developed materials and manufacturing procedures permits the Zipp 808 NSW Carbon Tubeless Clincher Front Wheel to provide considerable performance when racing against the second hand. From pushing hard at the local age-group triathlon all the way through to professional level time trials, the 808 NSW delivers with adeptness and accuracy.

Power transfer and robustness are granted within a low mass rim construction by using premium carbon fibre and accompanying resins. This advanced material is arranged meticulously into an 82mm deep rim profile that is modelled following hours of CFD computer simulations, wind tunnel testing and pro-rider feedback. This sophisticated rim silhouette is combined with the aero enhancing, ABLC rim surface dimples to realise industry-leading low drag numbers and stability across a vast sweep of yaw angles.

Tubeless-ready and standard clincher tyre compatibility are offered by the wide internal rim measurement with this broad format forcing tyres to realise a more voluminous profile and a rounder road contact patch. These traits act positively to evoke lower rolling resistance, increased compliance and amplified cornering grip. The collaborating Showstopper brake track and its roughened surface increase pad-to-rim friction to infuse heightened stopping power, even within wet and gritty riding conditions.

The Cognition hub hosts smooth, sealed bearings for the longevity of performance while dependable Sapim CX-Ray spokes complete the build via an evenly tensioned, reliable and aesthetically pleasing radial lacing pattern.
