Features:

• new Zipp graphics create visual presence and embody speed, they are applied using ImPress™ direct printing technology
• 19 mm inner width and tubeless compatibility, optimised for wider tyres with lower tyre pressure
• Cognition DB hub set runs efficiently whether you pedal or coast
• freehub generates only half as much mechanical resistance as conventional 3-pawl hubs thanks to Axial Clutch Technology
• bionics (biomimicry): formed according to the examples from nature (e.g. whales, sharks)
• SawTooth™ rim with Hyperfoil™ elements and HexFin™ ABLC recesses for maximum aero and crosswind stability with a wave-shaped rim depth of 53/58mm
• aluminium axles
• front can be optionally converted to 9 x 100 mm quick release or 15 x 100 mm thru-axle (end caps available separately)
• rear can be converted to 10 x 135 mm quick release or 12 x 135 mm thru-axle (end caps sold separately)

Technology:

NSW
NSW stands for " Nest Speed Weaponry" . 'The Nest' is the nickname the Zipp engineers have given to the windowless high-security research laboratory in a corner of the Zipp factory. This site, or the ground-breaking ideas and designs that emerged from it, became the namesake for an entire series of wheels. The Zipp NSW series is a science, philosophy and mission to develop the fastest, most stable and highest performing wheel components of all times.

ImPress™
The Impress graphics not only provide valuable weight savings, but also enable unique and permanent application of the four letters most feared by the competition in bicycle racing: Z-I-P-P.

SawTooth™ ABLC HexFin™
This patented rim shape achieves what conventional aero wheels cannot: it simultaneously reduces aerodynamic drag and lateral wind forces, providing the ultimate AeroBalance™. SawTooth makes this possible through a series of hump-shaped Hyperfoil points along the inner diameter of the rim. Together with the HexFin ABLC dimples (hexagonal dimples), these provide improved airflow. The result is the most powerful Zipp wheelset of all times with lower aerodynamic drag and reduced lateral wind forces at any angle of attack. This is important because the steeper the wind angle, the larger the influence on the handling of the bike.
