Zipp 808 Firecrest Carbon Tubeless Rear WheelZipp's 808 Firecrest Tubeless rim-brake rear wheel makes you faster with an 82mm rim depth that's fast, stable in crosswinds, and now tubeless-ready. That means you get all the aero benefits with having the ability to run lower tyre pressure for increased cornering grip and compliance and reduced rolling resistance, without the risk of pinch flats. This rear wheel is infused with technologies developed in Zipp's Indianapolis advanced development lab. Zipp's ABLC Sawtooth Technology uses a complex dimpling pattern to improve aero efficiency. Zipp's ShowStopper textured braking surface delivers unrivalled rim braking performance in wet or dry conditions. At the centre of the 808 Firecrest Tubeless rim-brake is a versatile and durable hub, the German-engineered ZR1. Zipp's wheel cosmetics make this rear wheel a perfect pairing of speed and style.ShowstopperZipp's industry-leading Showstopper brake track continues to evolve and improve, providing unmatched stopping power and modulation regardless of weather conditions or the length of the descent. Showstopper is a complimenting pairing of a directional, moulded-in, texture with silicon carbide particles suspended in the surface resin. The current media blast process applied to all Zipp rims increases the surface roughness of the brake track providing the rider with consistent and responsive braking.ABLC SawtoothThe Sawtooth dimple design consists of 12 nodes that are specifically clocked to start aerodynamic shearing at a rate of 50hz at a rider speed of 20mph. Sawtooth accomplishes this by inducing small sheet vortices that shed at a low magnitude, but at a higher natural frequency, thus decreasing the laminar bubble effect on the aerodynamically shielded side of the rim's profile to further reduce high yaw drag and improve crosswind stability.AerobalanceZipp's sole mission is to help you go faster. That's why the brand's wheels are race-ready before they're camera-ready. For years, Zipp has used a combination of testing methods - wind tunnel, CFD computer simulations, pro athlete evaluations, on-road testing, and the RollingRoad ride simulator - to refine aero performance to new levels of excellence. Over the decades of innovation, its engineers have learned to look beyond just focusing on simply reducing aero drag. Instead, the goal now is to reduce aero drag while also minimising the effects of crosswinds on handling. This optimising of aero efficiency and crosswind stability became known internally at Zipp as AeroBalance. The approach began with Firecrest technology and has been advanced with the introduction of the NSW lineup, especially with the Sawtooth technology found in the 454 and 858 NSW.

Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Tubeless Rear WheelEngineered to meet the demands of modern road bike adventures, this rear wheel features a hookless carbon rim construction, which allows it to deliver incredibly fast and smooth rolling performance. Zipp has equipped this model with tubeless tyre compatibility, so you can enjoy the benefits of superior stability and control as well as a lighter overall weight. Another highlight of this version is its disc brake compatibility, which means that you'll benefit from powerful and consistent braking performance during the most unpredictable of road conditions.Zipp's 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake rear wheel is designed for the real world… a world of imperfect conditions, road surfaces, and elements where the bottom line is simple. Efficiency = speed. It's faster, lighter, and more capable over varied terrain—whether the surface is pavement in all its conditions or no pavement at all. Deeply rooted in Zipp's drive to conquer the Spring Classics, the 303 Firecrest is remade with a purpose-made approach for the demands of modern road bikes. When it comes to going fast on a bicycle, efficiency means reduced: Wind resistance, rolling resistance, rider fatigue, weight. Designed using real-world direct measurements (vs. primarily wind tunnel or computer simulation). The results were huge. Its rim is slightly more bulbous in design than its predecessor, with a 30mm outside width, a 25mm internal width, and a 40mm rim depth. The profile provides low drag and an improved transition between rim and tyre, boosting aero efficiency on the road. The wide rim stance also features less tyre deflection for reduced rolling resistance. The combination of the wider tyre, increased tyre volume, and lower tyre pressure helps to reduce rider fatigue by smoothing out the ride over imperfect pavement and road conditions—the tyre and wheel system absorbs the shaking, not the rider. At the centre of the 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc brake rear wheel is a versatile and durable hubset, the German-engineered ZR1 DB. This hubset features 66 points of engagement for quicker response.

Zipp’s 303 Firecrest Tubeless rim-brake rear wheel is an all-arounder for a new era of road riding. It’s rich in heritage yet loaded with innovations. It’s as adept in the mountains as it is on rolling hills, windswept farm lanes, or ferocious field sprints. Tubeless Ready Road Bike Rear Wheel At Zipp, they never rest on laurels. This rear wheel features a 19mm internal width and is tubeless ready. That means you can run lower tyre pressure for greater cornering grip and compliance with reduced rolling resistance without the risk of pinch flats. Lightweight Carbon with ABLC Sawtooth Technology When it comes to pure speed, the 303 Firecrest Tubeless packs a serious punch. It’s lightweight with ABLC Sawtooth Technology, a complex dimpling pattern first developed for the brand's top-level NSW wheel lineup. This technology helps to achieve the optimization of low aerodynamic drag and crosswind stability, which they call AeroBalance.

This rim features legendary Firecrest technology, providing outstanding aerodynamic performance, straight-line power transfer efficiency, great stability in crosswinds and is perfect for climbing due to its weight. They deliver precise handling and stability on adrenaline fuelled descents and snappy acceleration when putting the power down. Firecrest Design Benefits The fundamental benefits of the Firecrest design are that its shape moves the centre of air pressure backwards, giving the 82mm deep rim the crosswind stability of a much shallower rim. Also, the 26mm wide brake track (at centre) enables the Tubular tyre to achieve a wider, more stable profile without compromising rolling resistance. Exceptional Rolling Efficiency At the centre of this wheel is the Zipp 177 hub, which features unmatched durability and advanced bearing protection, with no bearing pre-load required. This hub provides exceptional rolling efficiency and a consistent performance output that you will be hardpressed to find a rival in the same wheel class.
Wider Carbon Fibre Rim for Better Aerodynamics The 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc brake wheels were designed using real-world direct measurements (vs. primarily wind tunnel or computer simulation). This included Zipp’s RollingRoad™ Testing Protocol. The results were huge. Its rim is slightly more bulbous in design than its predecessor, with a 30mm outside width, a 25mm internal width and a 40mm rim depth. The profile provides low drag and an improved transition between rim and tyre, boosting aero efficiency on the road. Faster Performance These wheels are faster, lighter and more capable over varied terrain, whether the surface is tarmac in all its conditions or no tarmac at all. Deeply rooted in Zipp’s drive to conquer the Spring Classics, the revised 303 Firecrest is redesigned with a purpose-made approach for the demands of modern road bikes. This is the first Zipp wheelset to feature TSE™ Technology (Total System Efficiency). The 303 Firecrest’s precise rim layup results in greater all-around efficiency for greater speed through reduced wind resistance, rolling resistance, a lower weight, increased durability and vibration losses. More Comfortable Ride on Mixed Terrain The wide rim stance also features less tyre deflection for reduced rolling resistance. The combination of the wider tyre, increased tyre volume and lower tyre pressure reduces rider fatigue. This is because the ride is smoother over imperfect surface conditions as the tyre and wheel system absorbs the shaking, not the rider. At the centre of the 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc brake is a versatile and durable hubset, the German-engineered ZR1 DB. This hubset features 66 points of engagement for quicker pedalling response. The 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc-brake wheelset is for those after greater efficiency for greater speed. The payoff is a smoother, faster ride.
