- Description
Shallower wheels like the 202 and 303 have proven that optimizing the shape of the rim can yield greater aerodynamic gains than simply increasing its depth. But what happens when you combine a sophisticated rim shape with an ultra-deep 108mm profile? You get the phenomenal aero performance of the Zipp® 1080.
When aerodynamics matter above all else, athletes like 70.3 star Terenzo Bozzone and world time trial champion Fabian Cancellara pair the 1080 front wheel with a Sub-9 or Super-9 disc. But if you need the versatility of a spoked wheel in back, the rear 1080 is actually more aero than many discs. And, thanks to its toroidal profile and ABLC™ dimples, the 1080 is so stable in crosswinds that smaller riders like Linsey Corbin and Carlos Sastre can ride it with confidence. At 667gr for the tubular rim, the 1080 is light and quick enough that even hilly and technical courses will succumb to its all-out aero assault.

We are an official Zipp Pro Shop
Zipp’s sole mission is to help you go faster. That's why our 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, and on-road testing – to refine aero performance to new levels of excellence. Our goal is to reduce aero drag while also minimizing the effects of crosswinds on handling. This optimizing 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. Sawtooth™ accomplishes this with a series of patented fin-shaped Hyperfoil™ nodes along the inner diameter of the rim that work together with our new HexFin™ ABLC dimples for improved airflow.
