Zipp 454 NSW Carbon Tubeless Clincher Rear Wheel

Zipp 454 NSW Carbon Tubeless Clincher Rear Wheel

Melding the brand’s extensive aerodynamic concepts with intricate materials, the Zipp 454 NSW Carbon Tubeless Clincher Rear Wheel provides performance within a wide variety of riding scenarios. Whether powering to the front of the Sunday group ride, hammering across windswept plains or surging up sharp ascents, the 454 NSW delivers with accuracy and poise.

An advanced carbon composition forms the rim structure, and this bestows a high lateral stiffness to weight ratio. This carbon material is formed into the innovatory Sawtooth rim silhouette that utilises a series of Hyperfoil undulations along its inner circumference. This groundbreaking configuration partners seamlessly with a bulbous cross-sectional rim profile and HexFin ABLC surface dimpling to grant tremendously reduced drag numbers and markedly increased crosswind stability.

The broad internal rim width spreads the tyre beads further apart to grant increased sidewall support. This superior tyre integration lowers rolling resistance, increases comfort and improves cornering grip across all manner of road surfaces. The internal rim format also supplies scope for ride fine-tuning via compatibility with tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyres.

Composed braking, even in wet conditions, is supplied by the scalloped, Showstopper brake surface. At the same time, the Cognition hub spins smoothly and awards decreased friction when freewheeling thanks to its integrated Axial Clutch mechanism. To complete the build, the renowned Sapim CX-Ray spokes link everything together via a sturdy and reliable 2-cross lacing pattern.
