Zipp 808 NSW Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Rear Wheel

Zipp 808 NSW Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Rear Wheel

The Zipp 808 NSW Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Rear Wheel has been designed explicitly to be the fastest option when in conflict with the second hand of the clock. Riders who fight for results, both personal and against peers, in time trials and in triathlons, will benefit from the unadulterated speed that the 808 NSW naturally elicits.

The finest carbon is deployed within the rim structure to grant a low weight and superior lateral stiffness. Via a meticulous pattern of wind tunnel testing, CFD simulations and professional rider input this advanced carbon material is sculpted into a profile that tremendously lowers drag and stabilises the wheel when confronted with gusty wind conditions.

The sophisticated rim profile promotes wide internal and external measurements for improved tyre interaction. The broad internal width seats any tyre with a superior cross-section, which in turn lowers rolling resistance and increases cornering grip. At the same time, the expanded external rim width ensures a smooth flow of air across the rim-to-tyre junction. The dimpled surface pattern of the rim complements this by reducing air turbulence at higher yaw angles for further crosswind stability.

Compatibility with either tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyres grants the rider a vast amount of options with which to fine-tune the ride personality of the wheel. At the same time, the disc brake specific Cognition hub promotes more even spoke tensions thanks to its superior flange design, while its disengaging freehub grants lower mechanical drag when coasting. The revered Sapim CX-Ray spokes complete the comprehensive build with a 2-cross lacing pattern to donate maximised efficiency and robustness.

Includes
