Zipp 808 Tubular Rear Wheel

Zipp 808 Tubular Rear Wheel

The Zipp 808 Tubular Rear Wheel. When Zipp introduced the 81mm deep 808 they saw it mainly as a time trial and triathlon wheelset. It did pretty well in those disciplines netting an Ironman World Championship and the fastest Tour de France time trial in history with David Zabriskie. Lately the 808 has been seen more frequently at road races. Fabian Cancellara, no TT slouch himself, has ridden the 808 to victory with his trademark last-kilometre solo attacks at the Tour de France and Milan-San Remo, and it was Fabian who said 'The 808 is the new 404 for me.' Fully redesigned for 2009, the new fully toroidal rim shape uses design cues from the 1080 and Sub-9 development to further reduce the drag by 8-25 grams over the original 808. This equates to a savings on the road of 2-7 watts of power for a pair of wheels at 30mph. Maybe Fabian is right after all.
