Zipp 1080 Rear Wheel Tubular Campagnolo

The 1080 Tubular is more than 29 seconds faster in 40km than a pair of 3-spokes and 12 seconds faster per 40km than the world's previous fastest wheel, our own 808, making it truly the weapon of choice when seconds count which they always do.

But if its striking 108mm profile has you thinking that it must be hell in a crosswind, think again. The patented bulged rim shape and dimpling create the ultimate in wind-slicing aerodynamics while generating no more side force than a 3-spoke wheel. Plus, with our Carbon Bridge technology for impact resistance and external spoke nipples for serviceability, the 1080 Tubular gives you pure speed without a hint of delicacy even at a weight of just 1663g per pair.

When Carlos Sastre rolled up to the start house for the 2008 Tour de France's all-important final time trial, most pundits were expecting to see his 1'34" lead over Cadel Evans evaporate. But Carlos rode the TT of his life and saved the maillot jaune, thanks in part to a Zipp 1080 front wheel - the most aerodynamic non-disc wheel in the world.

The Zipp 1080 rim is not compatible with the PowerTap hub. This is due to the severe spoke angle caused by the very large flange of the PT hub combined with the very small ERD of the 1080 rim. This combination results in an overly severe spoke angle at the rim/spoke interface in a built wheel. This is not the bracing angle of the spoke, but the angle relative to the tangency of the hub resulting in a very high off-radial angle at the rim. This leads to premature nipple and spoke thread failures at cycle counts far below the Zipp minimum requirement for fatigue durability.

Please Note:
Zipp will not build this combination and will void the rim warranty on any 1080 rim built onto any PowerTap hub.

Warning:
Variation in individual chain stay specifications on these bike models may cause interference issues with the 1080. This is more of an issue for heavier and stronger riders (>170 lbs), but Zipp strongly recommends you test the compatibility under riding loads and conditions before making a purchase.
