Product description
The Zipp 808 offers the same technological aspects as the Zipp 303 and 404. The main difference is in the rim depth, with the 808 being 82mm deep. The 808 is known as being the fastest wheel outside of a full disc.
Expert Notes
The 808 is the deepest it gets in the line of Zipp wheels without becoming a disc. This wheel is designed with ultimate performance in mind. It is super stiff for high speeds, yet with its shape it handles like a shallower wheel. It performs so well, that the previously deeper 1080 had to be dropped from the line. The 808 is best used as a rear wheel, but can still work up front when it is not too windy out. The best thing about the 808 is it provides a disc-like feel without the inconvenience of a disc and greater versatility. This wheel is better suited for more experienced riders.
