ZIPP wheelset 28" 454 NSW Carbon | Tubeless | Center Lock 12x100 mm | 12x142 mm thru axle
The 454 NSW is the ultimate wheelset for road racing and fast rides for the performance-oriented rider. With its aerodynamic efficiency, crosswind stability and low weight, it is ideal for all conditions and track profiles. The large inner width of 23 millimetres not only ensures lower rolling resistance, it also allows the tire to be run at lower air pressures to reduce vibration losses and increase comfort. The hookless design creates an almost seamless transition between tire and rim flanks and ensures extremely low air resistance. The elimination of the hooks also makes the rim flanges more robust in the event of punctures and contributes to the significant weight saving compared to the previous versions. In combination with further optimizations in the structure of the carbon layers, the weight of the wheelset has been reduced to 1400 grams. This makes the 454 NSW wheels extremely agile and light-footed. In a field test commissioned by Zipp, the new 454 NSW was able to prove its strengths. Compared to the previous version, the rider with a system weight of 85 kg (including wheel) needed 10 watts less pedal power to maintain a speed of 40 km/h.
Total System Efficiency (TSE)
The 454 NSW wheels were developed under the TSE approach. The development goal was to find the best possible wheel design to overcome the speed barriers that exist under realistic riding conditions. These include wind resistance, gravity and rolling resistance as well as vibration losses in poor road conditions.
Zipp ZR1 SL hubs
The further development of Zipp's proven ZR1 hub has an optimized, lighter hub shell and an improved bearing system with ultra-light running ceramic bearings. Thanks to the ZR1 SL hubs, the 454 NSW wheels are now 30 grams lighter. The pawl freehub with 66 engagement points ensures immediate response. Six offset pawls are organized in two groups of three pawls each, with three pawls always engaging simultaneously. This ensures that your pedaling power is transferred to the wheel particularly efficiently.
Zipp Lifetime Warranty
Zipp grants you a lifetime warranty on your Zipp wheel when used properly. The warranty also covers racing use and damage caused by riding errors as long as the wheel has been used for its intended purpose. The warranty is only valid for the original purchaser and proof of purchase is mandatory!
NOTE: Due to the hookless profile, the Zipp 454 NSW wheels are only suitable for use with ETRTO-compliant tubeless tires. However, the corresponding tubeless tires can be ridden on the wheels with a tube without any problems. You can find an overview of all compatible tires for your Zipp hookless wheel here.
