Zipp 808 Wheelset 2008, clincher

The 2008 Zipp 808 Wheelset is the closest thing to riding a disc in terms of ultimate speed that is currently available. The Zipp 808 Wheelset is faster than any 3 spoke, it is faster than their 404 wheelset. The 808’s patent pending ABLC dimpled rim surface combined with a rim depth of 81mm simply humbles any racecourse. This is the best all around time trial wheelset available anywhere.

The days of being blown around mercilessly on windy courses are over. The 808 provides almost as much speed a disc, without the potentially hazardous handling shortcomings. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the 808 is draft legal. That’s right, you can road race the 808, and it is legal in ALL triathlon applications. The Zipp 808 Wheelset is a revolutionary dimpled 81mm deep rim with aluminum alloy rim bonded through exclusive m2cm process to the structural carbon rim. A Parallel aluminum braking surface provides for smooth, powerful, consistent stops. VCLC process eliminates some of the high frequency road vibrations making for a smooth, comfortable, controlled ride. OneTri is one of the premier retailers for the 2008 Zipp 808 Wheelset.
