Zipp 808 NSW Carbon Clincher Road Wheel

Ground breaking aero rim design with frictionless coasting. The Zipp 808 NSW is a carbon clincher wheel that delivers the very best aero performance in real world race conditions. Ideal for flat and rolling courses the 808 NSW’s will give you an aero advantage.

The 808 NSW offers enhanced cross wind stability thanks to the Sawtooth dimple design. The 12 nodes are optimized to start aero sheering of 50hz at 20mph which has the effect of decreasing the laminar bubble effect on the shielded side of the rim which reduces yaw and drag. The upshot of this is that keeping on track in a cross wind will require a lot less effort with Zipp 808 NSW. Extensive wind tunnel testing goes into the design and development of Zipp rims so you can be sure of their aero credentials.

Zipp carbon rims achieve lightweight with strength, durability and an unrivalled ride quality. Uni-directional fibres handle all the tensile and compressive loading within the rim, while woven carbon and silica/ceramic fabric sheets handle all compressive braking forces. Zipp rims are tough too, Carbon Bridge™ technology incorporates a 6 bundle co-axial Kevlar® thread which offers 50% extra impact protection on the edge of the rim.

The Zipp 808s offer exceptional braking performance thanks to the Showstopper™ braking surface. This directional moulded in texture features incredibly tough silicon carbide particles, suspended in the surface resin for a consistent surface roughness that won’t wear-out. With Showstopper™ braking is both consistent and responsive in all weather conditions. The 808s are made with heat resistant resin for consistent braking performance on even the very longest descents.

The rear Cognition™ hub offers the very best in Zipp hub technology. Offering frictionless rolling the AxialClutch™ completely disengages the ratchet when coasting so you can squeeze every last bit of speed out of the descents. Once you start pedalling a magnetic mechanism delivers rapid re-engagement for an immediate response. The star-flanged, straight pull design means that the load is moved away from the bearings for accurate bearing bores and smooth rolling bearings regardless of spoke tension. As well as offering improved lateral stiffness, the Cognition™ front hub features a unique scalloped edge hubshell design, which maintains the bearing bore diameter to a much higher degree than regular hubs. This means that the hub bearings will stay quietly in place, roll faster and last longer with no need to preload them.

Each Zipp 808 wheel is supplied with: a newly designed quick-release skewer, with a wider more ergonomic handle that contours neatly with the frame when closed, Tangente Platinum Pro Evo brake pads, integrated valve extender and valve-core spanner.
