	When Zipp introduced the 81mm deep 808, They viewed it mainly as a time trial and triathlon wheelset. It did well in those disciplines, netting a Kona IM world championship with Normann Stadler and the fastest Tour de France time trial in history with David Zabriskie. 



But lately the 808 is seen more frequently at road races. Fabian Cancellara, no TT slouch himself, has ridden the 808 to victory with his trademark last-kilometer solo attacks at the Tour de France and Milan-San Remo and said, “The 808 is the new 404 for me.”




The 808 wheelset was the weapon sprinter Tyler Farrar used to outkick all comers in Stage 3 of Tirreno-Adriatico. Still, the 808 is Zipp's workhorse for time trials and triathlons, including Normann Stadler, Andy Potts, Torbjψrn Sindballe and Ironman World Champion Craig Alexander at Kona in 2008 and 2009.



The new fully toroidal tubular rim uses design cues from the 1080 and Sub 9 development to further reduce the drag by 8-25 grams over the original 808. The new shape yields to a savings on the road of 2-7 watts of power for a pair of wheels at 30mph, not to mention the real-world benefits of added stiffness and improved braking due to a slightly wider rim and angled brake track.




At 1,499g per pair with 16/20 front/rear spokes, the 808 Tubular is finding a home with more and more triathletes and road racers.



Also available for in a Clydesdale version in a 24F/24R 1,970g configuration for bigger, more powerful athletes.
