Derived from the 404 NSW, the Zipp 454 NSW wheelset with tubeless tires redefines the aesthetics and handling of ultra-high performance wheels. You can use wider tires with lower air pressure thanks to this tubeless version. To develop this unique wheelset, the brand's engineers have observed nature, drawing inspiration from the humpback whale and the texture of a shark's skin, among other things, to find technologies that reduce the aerodynamic drag and lateral forces to which any bicycle wheel is subjected. The result is quite surprising on this 454 NSW, which features a wavy SawTooth-like profile that is variable in height between 53 and 58 mm. On the surface of the rim is a golf ball-like HexFin ABLC coating with slightly recessed hexagonal patterns designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve stability in crosswinds.
Zipp engineers have also paid special attention to the hubs to further improve aerodynamic performance by reducing turbulence with an axial clutch technology with 36 engagement points on the rear wheel. This system also has the advantage of reducing the friction effect during the freewheeling phases to achieve the small gains that make all the difference in a performance goal. 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 reduces the weight of the wheel to a minimum and keeps the style! These incredibly powerful wheels are even stiffer than the 404 NSW, but also more technically and physically demanding. They are particularly suitable for a nervous driving style with many starts.
