Zipp 454 NSW Tubular Wheelset Shimano 10/11/12-speed
This product’s description has been automatically translated. Please excuse any mistakes.
Derived from the 404 NSW, the Zipp 454 NSW tubular wheelset redefines the aesthetics and behavior of high performance wheels. In the development of this unique wheelset, the engineers of the brand started from the observation of nature and in particular the humpback whale and the texture of a shark skin to reduce aerodynamic drag and lateral forces. The result is a surprisingly wavy SawTooth profile with a height of 53 to 58 mm and a golf ball-like coating that improves drag and stability in crosswinds by creating micro vortices on the rim surface.
For its part, the braking track benefits from the Showstopper treatment, which guarantees a braking performance similar to that of disc brakes. Zipp engineers have also paid special attention to the hubs to further improve the aerodynamics of the whole, reducing turbulence and friction, with an axial clutch technology with 36 engagement points on the rear wheel. Finally, a small detail, but one that shows the exceptional quality of the whole, the graphics are not in the form of stickers, but are printed directly on the rim using Zipp Impress technology. This model is incredibly powerful and even stiffer than the 404 NSW, but also more technical and physically demanding.
