This all
new ground-breaking torodial rim shape is designed to provide maximum
aerodynamic advantage and has proven to be 29 seconds faster than a
trispoke over 40 k. In wind tunnel testing it improves upon the record
set by our 808 (82mm deep) rim and is still 80 g lighter than the
lightest trispoke.
Our detailed wind tunnel research has allowed us
to explore the relationship between rim shape and depth in multiple
innovative ways. This 1080 wheel set is designed to extract the maximum
from the passing air while eliminating the pulsing drag effects of the
trispoke. It is effective at 2-3 degrees more wind yaw than even our
popular 808 and produces a time saving of 36-38 seconds per hour over
our standard 404.
This the must have wheel for the dedicated TT
specialist. Released in tubular and clincher versions with internal
nipples and Zipp's new Carbon Bridge technology, this wheel is destined
to quickly find its niche among the podium champs.
