ZIPP rear wheel 28" 454 NSW Carbon Tubular | Center Lock | 12x142 mm thru axle | Shimano Road freewheel body
The 454 NSW is the ultimate road racing and fast ride wheelset for the performance oriented rider. With its aerodynamic efficiency, crosswind stability and its low weight, it is ideally suited for all conditions and route profiles. The wide rim base of the 454 NSW Tubular allows tires to be used with lower air pressures to reduce vibration losses and increase comfort. By optimizing the structure of the carbon layers, the weight of the wheelset could be further reduced. This makes the 454 NSW wheels extremely agile and light-footed.
Total System Efficiency (TSE)
The 454 NSW wheels were developed under the TSE approach. The development goal was to find the best possible impeller design to overcome the speed barriers that exist under realistic driving conditions. In addition to wind resistance, gravity and rolling resistance, this also includes vibration losses in poor road conditions.
Zipp Cognition hubs
The Cognition V2 hub set, developed in Germany, impresses with its unique freewheel system. The system is similar to a toothed disk freewheel, but due to the special arrangement of the toothed disks (axial clutch) it only generates half as much frictional resistance when rolling as a conventional ratchet system. The second version of the hubs has an improved sealing system and the freewheel mechanism is even more responsive.
Sawtooth design
Introduced with the Zipp 858 NSW, the 454 also got the aerodynamically extremely efficient sawtooth profile that was modeled on the fin ends of the humpback whale and allows the rim height to vary between 53 and 58 millimeters. In combination with the newly designed hexagonal ABLC dimples (recesses on the outside of the rim), the design ensures very high crosswind stability, especially at larger angles of attack.
ImPress graphics
With the ImPress graphic technology, the Zipp lettering is printed directly onto the rim. This allows the recessed structures on the rims to unfold their full effect.
Zip Lifetime Warranty
Zipp gives you a lifetime guarantee on your Zipp wheel if used properly. The warranty also includes racing and damage caused by rider error, as long as the wheel has been used for its intended purpose. The guarantee only applies to the original purchaser and proof of purchase is mandatory!
