Zipp’s deep-section wheels, the 858 NSW and 808 Firecrest, epitomize our drive to make you faster. These two wheelsets are our go-to weapons for triathletes and time trial specialists.

Now, Zipp’s 858 NSW and 808 Firecrest pack even more speed thanks to the addition of our Total System Efficiency design with the hookless rim-tire interface. What’s more, each of these wheelsets is hundreds of grams lighter than its predecessor.

In episode, Zipp Design Engineers Ben Waite and John Leachman explain all that’s new with the 858 NSW and 808 Firecrest. They detail Zipp’s development and testing of the new wheel, talk about its carbon construction, and give practical tips for riders making the transition to Zipp tubeless and hookless wheels.
