Zipp 1080 Clincher


Description:


The sight of a lone rider hunched over the aero bars may lack the spectacle of a feld sprint or the epic scenery of a mountain stage. but if you-ve ever poured yourself into a time trial or a bike leg, then you-ve shared an experience with rising triathlon star linsey corbin and olympic time-trial champion Fabian cancellara.

On their bikes, you-ll fnd the 108mm-deep Zipp 1080, the world-s fastest non-disc wheel. to improve upon the previous holder of that title, our 82mm-deep 808, we tested and retested a range of prototypes for the 1080 before settling on fully toroidal shape that blends 5 distinct curves to smooth airfow.

In this new profle, which we-ve since applied to the 808 and other wheels in our line, makes the 1080 nearly 30 seconds faster over 40km than a three-spoke wheel. yet despite its depth, the 1080 was light enough for Fabian to dominate beijing-s hilly time trial course and so stable in crosswinds that a smaller rider like linsey could use it in kona. when seconds count - which they always do - the 1080 is perhaps the ultimate piece of speed weaponry.
