Weight Difference - 808 w/cover vs 900 disc

Does anyone have any idea what the weight difference between an 808 clincher with wheelbuilder cover vs a 900 clincher disc? Assuming tires and cassettes are the same.

Thanks

the disc will be about 130g lighter.

Assuming you are not doing a mountain climb, aero is much more important. The 808 with a cover is supposedly faster than a Sub-9 disc.

it was mentioned in another post which says zipp has “implied” this in other posts

maybe this is why the jet disc is just a cover
