Zipp 454 NSW Carbon Tubeless Rim Brake Wheelset

Zipp 454 NSW Carbon Tubeless Rim Brake Wheelset

The Zipp 454 NSW Carbon Tubeless Rim Brake Wheelset is a versatile performer suited to a wide range of road riding applications, including fast group rides, road races and even solo efforts against the clock. The high-grade full carbon rims guarantee lateral stiffness and low weight and possess an innovative SawTooth profile. This wavy profile situates Hyperfoil nodes along its inner circumference to vary the rim depth between 53 and 58mm, allowing it to slice through the air with greater efficiency while remaining incredibly stable in crosswinds. The SawTooth design also adds extra structural integrity without adding any weight.

The broad, 19mm internal rim width helps tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyres roll with lower rolling resistance and heightened comfort, and a pattern of HexFin dimples arranged over the rim surfaces further improves aerodynamics.

Consistent and powerful braking in all conditions is provided by the textured Showstopper rim brake surface, heightening the rider’s confidence when descending. Cognition V2 hubs spin smoothly with improved durability, and the rear hub integrates a low resistance, quickly engaging Axial Clutch freehub. Reliable Sapim CX-Ray spokes complete the build in radial and two-cross lacing patterns, front and rear, respectively.

Includes
