Zipp 454 NSW 700c Road Wheel – Rear
When it comes to pure road racing performance, the 454 NSW rear wheel leaves nothing on the table. Engineered for serious speed and real-world conditions, it’s packed with Zipp’s most advanced aero innovations and built to fly—whether you’re breaking away solo or hammering with the bunch.

Precision Meets Power Transfer
The 53/58mm SawTooth™ HyperFoil profile cuts through the air with ruthless efficiency, while the HexFin™ ABLC dimples enhance crosswind stability. This isn’t just fast on paper—it’s a weapon in unpredictable conditions. The TSS hookless rim design allows wider, lower-pressure tires that reduce rolling resistance and road buzz, keeping you fresher, longer.

Hub of the Matter
At the core sits the ZR1 SL hub, complete with an aluminum body and a lightning-fast 6-pawl engagement system offering 66 points of contact. Ceramic hybrid bearings keep things spinning buttery-smooth, even when you’re throwing down the watts.
