The Zipp 454 NSW Tubeless Disc-Brake Wheelset is engineered for pure speed, combining cutting-edge aerodynamics with lightweight performance. Designed for road racers, triathletes, and time trialists, this wheelset leverages Total System Efficiency (TSE) to conquer wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses. The 58mm undulating Sawtooth rim profile enhances crosswind stability, while the hookless, tubeless-ready design ensures a seamless tire interface for reduced weight and improved efficiency. Optimized for 28-35mm tires, the 454 NSW delivers unmatched speed and smoother rides with ZR1 SL hubs featuring ceramic bearings and 66-point engagement.
