This all new ground-breaking torodial rim shape is designed to provide maximum aerodynamic advantage and has proven to be 29 seconds faster than a trispoke over 40 k. In wind tunnel testing it improves upon the record set by our 808 (82mm deep) rim and is still 80 g lighter than the lightest trispoke.
Our detailed wind tunnel research has allowed us to explore the relationship between rim shape and depth in multiple innovative ways. This 1080 wheel set is designed to extract the maximum from the passing air while eliminating the pulsing drag effects of the trispoke. It is effective at 2-3 degrees more wind yaw than even our popular 808 and produces a time saving of 36-38 seconds per hour over our standard 404.
This the must have wheel for the dedicated TT specialist. Released in tubular and clincher versions with internal nipples and Zipp's new Carbon Bridge technology, this wheel is destined to quickly find its niche among the podium champs.
Clinchers, Tubulars, and Clydesdales ALL AVAILABLE
Unequivocally the most aerodynamic non-disc wheelset available anywhere in the world, and even faster than any three-spoke in all conditions, 808 aero wheel is lethal and legal - in all triathlon and road race applications. An arsenal of technological tools awaits the serious triathlete and strikes fear into the heart of the competition. Peter Reid has scorched the Queen K with these beauties as David Zabriskie did in the Tour de France with the fastest Time Trial ever recorded. Thanks to a partially ovoid rim cross-section, and an 82mm rim patent pending dimpled surface with Zipp's exclusive aerodynamic shape, you'll be at the finish line before the wind even knows you're out there. Rapidly becoming the wheel of choice for time trialists, and triathletes worldwide, the 808 is winning over athletes at every level of competition.
Clinchers, Tubulars, and Clydesdales ALL AVAILABLE
Even with all the recent refinements and additions to the Zipp product line, the 404 (58mm) wheelset is still the Champ! This versatile wheelset has reigned supreme in World Ironman Championships, numerous CSC and Phonak Tour de France stage victories, and countless personal bests all over the world in every cycling discipline.
Don't let those good looks fool you: the patent pending aerodynamically dimpled pattern is an extremely ruthless controller of air resistance that delivers an average gain of 1 to 4 watts of energy in very nearly all conditions and races. Triathlon, road racing, sprinting, time trials - you name it, 404 is the universal master that has earned its place as our top performer and the choice of elite cyclists everywhere.
Clinchers, Tubulars, and Clydesdales ALL AVAILABLE
