The Zipp 454 NSW represents the pinnacle of Zipp’s wheel engineering—a 58mm deep carbon wheelset featuring the distinctive sawtooth rim profile that defines the NSW (Not Standard Wheels) range.

The sawtooth profile isn’t aesthetic—it’s functional aerodynamics. The undulating rim shape trips airflow at specific Reynolds numbers, reducing drag across a wider range of wind angles than conventional smooth-profile deep wheels. In crosswinds, the 454 NSW remains more stable than similarly deep competitors.

ABLC (Aerodynamic Balance Lip Control) dimpling further optimises airflow management. The hookless tubeless-ready rim accommodates modern road tyres from 25–32mm. Hub bearings are Zipp’s proprietary Cognition system with ratchet engagement.

This wheelset suits racers, time triallists, and cyclists seeking uncompromising aerodynamic performance. It’s premium pricing for premium engineering.
