Zipp 454 NSW Wheel

The sawtooth rim profile, combined with Hyperfoil nodes, is designed to manage airflow and reduce drag. This unique shape helps maintain stability in gusty crosswinds, allowing you to hold your line more confidently than with a traditional deep-section rim.

No, this wheel features a hookless rim construction that is specifically engineered for tubeless tires only. You must use a tubeless-compatible tire setup to ensure a safe and secure fit.

The rim is optimized for 28mm tubeless tires. This width provides the best balance of aerodynamics, rolling efficiency, and comfort when paired with the 23mm internal rim width.

Yes, because the hookless design allows for lower tire pressures, you can run wider tires with less air. This setup improves comfort and grip without sacrificing rolling speed, but you should always adhere to the tire manufacturer's maximum pressure recommendations.

The ceramic bearings in the ZR1 SL hub are designed to reduce friction compared to standard steel bearings. This results in a smoother, more efficient rotation, which can save marginal amounts of energy over long rides.

No, this wheel is designed exclusively for Center-Lock disc brake systems. It is not compatible with rim brake setups.
