Zipp 454 NSW 700c Road Wheel – Front
Zipp’s ultimate aero wheel for the modern road racer, the 454 NSW front wheel delivers top-tier speed, stability, and efficiency. Built for riders chasing marginal gains, it blends cutting-edge aerodynamics with exceptional handling in crosswinds—so you stay fast and in control.

Redefining Road Speed
At the core of its performance is Zipp’s unique 53/58mm SawTooth™ rim profile, inspired by nature and shaped for maximum aero benefit. The HexFin™ ABLC dimple pattern controls airflow across the rim, boosting stability and reducing drag, especially in gusty conditions.

Hookless Advantage
Hookless TSS construction allows for smoother tire-to-rim transitions and lower tire pressures. The result? Less rolling resistance, fewer vibration losses, and a more comfortable, efficient ride over real-world roads.

Premium Hub, Ultimate Precision
The ZR1 SL hub brings it all together—aluminum body, ceramic hybrid bearings, and Centerlock disc compatibility—giving you silky smooth rolling and dependable stopping power.
