Zipp 202 NSW

No, this wheel features a hookless rim profile, which means it is designed specifically for tubeless-ready tires. You must use tubeless-compatible tires and run them without an inner tube to ensure a safe and secure fit.

The wider internal rim profile creates a smoother transition between the tire sidewall and the rim. This improves aerodynamic efficiency and allows you to run lower tire pressures for better grip and comfort without sacrificing rolling speed.

No, the Zipp 202 NSW front wheel is built exclusively for disc brake systems using a centerlock rotor interface. It does not have a braking track on the rim surface.

The ceramic bearings offer lower rolling resistance compared to standard steel bearings, providing a smoother feel on the road. While they are highly efficient, they require standard maintenance intervals similar to any high-performance hub to keep them running optimally.

While the 202 NSW is engineered primarily for competitive road riding and climbing, its robust carbon construction can handle light gravel or rough pavement. However, it is optimized for road-specific tire widths, so check your tire clearance before taking it on mixed terrain.

This wheel is designed for a 12 x 100mm thru-axle standard, which is the current industry standard for modern road and gravel disc brake bikes. It is not compatible with quick-release skewers.
