Product Overview
The 1080 Series is designed for time trial and triathlon speed freaks - those cyclists that only care about full throttle, straight -line, punishing speed. With deeper carbon dimpled rims than the 808, Zipp claims the 1080 is nearly a half minute faster than any tri-spoke! The 1080 is also 80g lighter, creating an extreme aero wheelset that will even excel on rolling terrain. New for '08:
-Dimpled 108mm carbon rims for incredible aerodynamics.
-Carbon Bridge: Kevlar thread in a co-axial helix stitch
improve rim strength by distributing impact force. According to Zipp,
the Carbon Bridge results in "28% more impact resistance than any other
rim made at this weight".
Employment - Time Trial and Triathlon: Pair the 1080 rear wheel with the 1080, 808, or 404 front wheel depending on the course and wind conditions and race with the confidence of cutting-edge Zipp aerodynamics.
