2010 Zipp 1080 Clincher Front Wheel

The 1080 Clincher takes advantage of Zipp's M2CM technology. It's the most advanced method to join carbon and aluminum, and it results in a nearly bombproof rim with the convenience of a clincher and the reliability of an aluminum braking surface.

Lest we forget, the 1080 Clincher also features the most aerodynamic non-disc rim in the world.

Tests show that the Zipp Speed Weaponry 1080 Wheel Set shaves 29 seconds off a 40km race compared to so-called aerodynamic three-spoke wheels. There are lighter wheelsets out there, but light doesn't transfer completely to speed, so Zipp added deep, dimpled rims, a low spoke count, and enough stiffness to let you really lean into the pedals on sprinting sections. Best of all, Zipp Speed Weaponry make the 1080 wheels stout enough to handle plenty of speed on a steep downhill grade.
