Zipp 808 Clincher


Description:


Ironically, the fastest fnishers in the peloton were among the last to take advantage of the world-s fastest wheels. but the sprinters eventually realized that deep-profle models like the Zipp 808 could help them conserve energy while sitting in the feld and increase their top speed in the fnal meters without sacrifcing rapid acceleration and precise handling.

Today, the 808 wheelset adorns the bikes of sprinters like tyler Farrar, who used it to outkick all comers in stage 3 of tirreno-adriatico. the 808 earned a slew of stage wins at the 2009 tour de France and was spotted on thor hushovd-s bike while he worked on his sprinting position in the wind tunnel.

In still, the 808 remains our aero workhorse for time trials and triathlons. all three of our 2009 tour teams ran the 808 in the team time-trial, as did normann stadler, andy potts, torbjørn sindballe, and ironman world champion craig alexander at kona in 2008.
