Zipp 454 NSW Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Rear Wheel

Zipp 454 NSW Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Rear Wheel

Whether hammering up climbs, surging across windswept plains or sprinting to the finish line, the Zipp 454 NSW Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Rear Wheel delivers with aplomb. Thanks to a combination of an innovatory design and highly developed carbon materials, the 454 NSW is a truly multifaceted performer within any riding scenario.

A pioneering Sawtooth rim profile sees numerous HyperFoil nodes along its inner edge, and these interact with the airflow to reduce drag and significantly increase stability whatever the wind strength and angle. This advanced rim silhouette is realised in a sophisticated carbon material via a state of the art manufacturing process to afford high lateral stiffness, strength and a low rotating mass. HexFin ABLC dimples across the rim’s surface supplement by attaching a slippery layer of air to the rim body, aiding aerodynamic performance further.

Tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyres are coerced into optimum cross-sectional forms by the broad internal rim width, and this promotes a higher tyre air volume and wider tyre-to-road footprint. These two traits unite to grant lower rolling resistance, increased comfort and maximised cornering grip.

The esteemed Sapim CX-Ray spokes link the rim to the disc brake specific Cognition hub via a reliable and robust 2-cross lacing pattern. This hub features a Center Lock disc interface for a composed braking sensation and an Axial Clutch freehub mechanism that lowers mechanical drag when freewheeling.
