Zipp 454 NSW Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake 700c Rear Wheel XDR – High-Performance Aero Road Cycling Wheel
Unlock elite-level speed and control with the Zipp 454 NSW Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake 700c Rear Wheel with XDR driver body, the ultimate rear wheel for serious road racers and performance cyclists. Engineered with cutting-edge aerodynamics, this carbon tubeless disc-brake wheel delivers superior speed, crosswind stability, and efficiency in all riding conditions.
The 58mm Sawtooth™ rim profile with Hyperfoil™ nodes is Zipp’s most aerodynamic and stable design yet, slicing through wind while maintaining confident handling. The wide rim is optimised for tubeless tyre setups, allowing lower pressures that reduce rolling resistance and absorb road vibration for a smoother, faster ride. For peak aerodynamic and rolling resistance performance, a 28mm tyre is recommended.
Featuring Zipp’s Total System Efficiency (TSE™) technology, the 454 NSW Rear Wheel addresses the four major barriers to speed: air drag, gravity, rolling resistance, and road vibration. Its hookless rim design enables a seamless tyre-to-rim interface, further enhancing aerodynamics while improving strength and reducing weight through more efficient resin distribution.
At the core is the advanced ZR1 SL hubset with an XDR driver body, built for SRAM 12-speed drivetrains. This premium hub features ceramic bearings and a lightning-fast 66 points of engagement for crisp, efficient power transfer. The ZR1 SL hub is also 30g lighter than its predecessor, making it ideal for competitive cyclists chasing marginal gains.
