The Zipp 808 Firecrest has been upgraded to perform like a shallower wheelset: wider, lighter, tubeless & hookless. More versatile all-around!
The new Zipp 808s are much lighter, much cheaper, much wider, even faster, and more versatile than ever.
Though our test set of wheels came with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, we took them off to get an accurate weight of the wheels. The Eagle F1 tires slid into place with little to no popping and have a supple hand and a ride sensation for a nylon tubeless tire. This was my first time on the Goodyear Eagle F1 tubeless, and my first impressions were very positive.
For tire pressure, Zipp has a nice tire pressure chart that corresponds with the rider’s weight for maximum comfort and performance. I settled on 61psi up front, 65psi in the rear. Surprisingly low sounding.Our test wheels came with an SRAM XDR-12 speed driver, and my test ride is a Shimano 11-speed. Luckily we had a pair of Zipp 303 Firecrest from another review ride handy to swap over.
The 808s replaced a 50mm deep wheelset I use for most of my all-around riding and racing. The first notable sensation is weight. I expected a heavier feeling wheelset that wouldn’t be so close to the equally performance-driven wheelset they replaced. They are also refreshingly silent. The 80mm deep rim paired with the ZR1 hubs create a pleasant but not overpowering freewheeling sound.
