Zipp 858 NSW Carbon Tubeless Clincher Front Wheel

Zipp 858 NSW Carbon Tubeless Clincher Front Wheel

Merging years of aerodynamic experience, the finest materials and state of the art manufacturing procedures the Zipp 858 NSW Carbon Tubeless Clincher Front Wheel supplies speed and efficiency into any effort against the clock. Whether impressing peers in the local evening time trial or gunning for a podium spot in Kona the 858 NSW delivers with clinical accuracy.

Premier carbon fibre and resins are utilised within the rim body and are manufactured with exacting standards to yield an optimum ratio of lateral stiffness, strength and low weight. This highly developed configuration is fashioned into an irregular, bulbous, Sawtooth profile that deploys several Hyperfoil nodes around its interior circumference. This pioneering profile is the result of an extensive research program and bears a super-efficient aerodynamic performance and stable crosswind handling otherwise unseen in wheels of similar depth. The intricate HexFin ABLC pattern sees numerous dimples and ridges positioned on the rim’s surface and these help by creating a slippery boundary layer of air around the rim body to elicit even lower drag numbers.

A wide internal rim width holds tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyres in a superior fashion, spreading their beads further apart. This increased stance alters the tyre-to-road impression which, in turn, markedly lowers rolling resistance, increases comfort and boosts cornering grip. The rim also bestows confidence-inspiring levels of braking performance, even in the wet, thanks to the heightened pad-to-rim friction promoted by its scalloped, Showstopper carbon brake track.

Smooth and durable bearings are held within the svelte body of the Cognition hub before the build is linked together via the distinguished Sapim CX-Ray spokes and a neat, evenly tensioned radial lacing pattern.
