The company's facility in Speedway, Indiana sits steps from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the motorsports mindset never left: Zipp pioneered wind tunnel testing in cycling, introduced the Firecrest rim profile in 2010, and launched the NSW line in 2016 with HyperFoil nodes modeled on humpback whale fins. At RA Cycles, the collection covers the full Zipp road and gravel lineup — the 858 NSW and 454 NSW at the flagship end, the 808 Firecrest and 303 SW for road, the 303 XPLR and 101 XPLR for gravel, and the Super-9 for track.

They needed to  push farther, and the result is this 303 NSW Tubeless Carbon Clincher. It’s faster  and more flexible than the Firecrest, and the 303 itself is the depth and  weight that appeals most to all-round riding, light enough for extended  climbing, deep enough to speed on the flats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things that are different right away are the new 19mm internal rim  width and the tubeless channel. With the 19mm size, they’ve optimized the rim  for 25mm tires. The tubeless channel means you have the option to run either  tubed or tubeless tires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 19mm width dictates a different rim shape than Firecrest. The depth  remains at 45mm, the brake track at 26.4mm, but the widest spot is 26.5mm a bit  of the way down the rim wall. This is to make sure 25mm tires are the most aero. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim comes with Zipp’s ABLC SawTooth   dimple pattern. It  improves aerodynamics in “no wind” (aka headwind) situations, but it’s greatest  strength is reducing loads created by crosswinds. You’ll have no concerns  piloting these wheels on gusty days, even if you’re small and riding aero bars.  It’s almost like a traditional box-section clincher. Overall, the wheel is  faster in all wind conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  brake track is Zipp’s ShowStopper textured braking surface. This is the 317  curved, vertical grooves on each side of the brake track that help move water  off the surface and reduce stopping distances.

The flanges are designed to be as  light as possible without sacrificing strength. The rear hub utilizes Zipp’s  Axial Clutch pawl mechanism, which reduces drag when coasting. The mechanism is  on three cassette body choices: a SRAM 10\/11-speed cassette body, a  Campagnolo-compatible 10\/11-speed body, and or a SRAM XDR driver body for  wider-ranging cassette options, including 1x 10-42 cassettes.

At the shallowest rim depth in the NSW family, the 202 NSW is where Zipp’s aerodynamic engineering meets a relentless focus on weight savings, and the result is a rear wheel that changes how a climbing bike feels under power. This is the wheel Zipp calls the fastest carbon clincher they have ever made, and for riders who measure their rides in vertical meters, that claim carries real weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates the 202 NSW from other lightweight carbon wheels is how Zipp has approached aerodynamics at this rim depth. The SawTooth Technology — an evolution of Zipp’s signature ABLC (Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control) dimple pattern — applies textured nodes in 12 discrete sections across the rim surface. These dimples manage how air detaches from the shielded side of the rim in crosswinds, reducing the lateral forces that make shallow wheels feel unstable on gusty days. Because this is a disc-brake wheel with no brake track to interrupt the rim surface, the ABLC dimples extend all the way to the rim edge, giving the aerodynamic treatment more surface area to work with. The 28.9mm external width and 21mm internal width mean you can run 28mm or wider tires — the sweet spot where the 202 NSW is designed to perform its best — with a planted, confident feel through corners at speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cognition rear hub is its own engineering story. Zipp replaced the traditional pawl-and-spring freehub mechanism with an Axial Clutch system that uses two precision MIM (Metal Injection Molding) ratchet rings — one mated to the freehub body, one to the hub shell. These rings engage laterally rather than radially, and instead of steel springs holding them in contact, Zipp uses magnets. The result is noticeably lower friction while coasting, so the watts you put in on the climb aren’t quietly bleeding away through the hub when you ease off. Engagement is fast, the freewheel sound is smooth and quiet, and the whole system is designed for long-term reliability with fewer moving parts to wear. Laced to 24 Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes in a two-cross pattern with Sapim Secure Lock nipples, the build is both light and laterally stiff — exactly where you want it for out-of-the-saddle efforts on steep grades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"design_benefits\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClimbing Without Compromise:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 32mm rim depth keeps weight low where it matters most — at the outer edge of the wheel — while still providing meaningful aerodynamic benefit over a box-section rim.

It is a carbon road wheel that takes aerodynamics seriously, but it is also built to handle roads that most aero wheels would refuse. The 650b diameter makes it at home on mixed-surface rides, gravel detours, and technical terrain — while the Firecrest rim profile keeps the focus squarely on speed and stability where the pavement is clean. This is a wheel that broadens what a carbon tubeless wheelset can be asked to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZipp's Firecrest rim geometry is the foundation here. The toroidal shape — wider at the brake track than the spoke bed — is designed to manage crosswinds rather than simply fight them. Zipp calls the resulting combination of aerodynamic efficiency and lateral stability \"AeroBalance,\" and it's a philosophy baked into how the rim interacts with the air around it. The 303's shallower profile sits at a depth where handling confidence and aero benefit coexist without compromise, making it a wheel you can trust in variable conditions. Running a 650b diameter means you can fit wider tyres for additional compliance and grip, which complements that stability further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe disc-brake-only design removes the rim brake track entirely, which allowed Zipp's engineers to optimise the full rim profile for aerodynamic performance rather than splitting design priorities. Paired with tubeless compatibility, you gain the option to run lower pressures for improved traction and puncture resistance — a meaningful advantage when your route isn't guaranteed to stay smooth. The ZR1 hub at the centre keeps rolling resistance low and provides the durability to back up long-haul use, whether that's a loaded gravel day or a fast road loop with unpredictable pavement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"design_benefits\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirecrest Toroidal Rim Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Firecrest profile widens toward the outer edge of the rim, which is designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and — critically — improve handling in crosswinds. Rather than simply cutting through air, the shape is intended to manage how wind flows around the rim, giving you a more predictable feel when gusts arrive mid-ride.

Rather than a fixed-depth rim optimized for one yaw angle and one wind condition, Zipp’s Sawtooth profile uses an undulating rim shape — depth that varies across the circumference, peaking at 40mm on the rear, tuned to manage airflow across the range of real-world riding conditions rather than a single tunnel number. The NSW designation marks this as Zipp’s top performance tier, and the 353 is the most aerodynamically sophisticated expression of what a 40mm-class road wheel can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim works on two levels beyond its shape. \u003cstrong\u003eHexFin ABLC\u003c\/strong\u003e — Active Boundary Layer Control — uses a pattern of hexagonal surface features that trip the aerodynamic boundary layer earlier, reducing pressure drag in the same way that dimples work on a golf ball. Hyperfoil nodes on the rim surface build on that by further directing airflow through transitions and around the wheel at varying angles. The 30mm external width supports this aerodynamic intent: wider rims create a cleaner transition to wider tires, and the 353 NSW is specifically optimized for 30mm rubber — a setup that delivers aero and rolling resistance gains that the narrow-rim era never could. The hookless carbon construction also means a 16% increase in rim impact strength compared to the previous generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the center of the wheel is the ZR1 SL hub, running custom hybrid ceramic bearings for reduced rolling resistance and extended bearing life. With 66 engagement points, there’s minimal dead angle between pedal stroke and drive — the kind of immediate response that matters most out of corners, on short punchy climbs, or when you need to hold a wheel under pressure. The hub body is also 30g lighter than Zipp’s previous NSW hubs, a refinement that compounds with the overall weight reduction of the 353 platform.

Built directly into the wheel hardware rather than added as a separate device, it delivers real-time tire pressure monitoring to the SRAM AXS app — making the 353 NSW the first AXS-connected wheel Zipp has produced. Pressure is one of the most consequential and most overlooked variables in wheel performance: a 30mm tire running 10 psi low doesn’t just feel different, it rolls differently and handles differently. Having a live pressure read without removing a wheel or carrying a separate gauge changes how you set up and maintain your tubeless system. The hookless rim accepts 29–35mm tubeless tires at up to 73 psi, with 30mm as the intended sweet spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"design_benefits\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSawtooth undulating rim profile\u003c\/strong\u003e — variable depth optimized for real-world yaw angles rather than a single tunnel condition, delivering more consistent aerodynamic performance across variable wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHexFin ABLC + Hyperfoil nodes\u003c\/strong\u003e — dual surface technologies that trip and shape the boundary layer to reduce drag, working in tandem rather than as isolated features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated AXS Wheel Sensor\u003c\/strong\u003e — real-time tire pressure monitoring built into the wheel, no external device needed, feeds live data to the SRAM AXS app\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZR1 SL hub with 66-point engagement\u003c\/strong\u003e — ceramic bearings reduce friction and wear; 66 engagement points deliver near-immediate drivetrain response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e25mm internal width\u003c\/strong\u003e — properly supports 29–35mm tubeless tires for correct casing shape, aerodynamic rim-to-tire transition, and optimal rolling resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFinal Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 353 NSW is the wheel you buy when you want Zipp’s best thinking on what a disc-brake road wheel should be — not just fast in a straight line, but genuinely capable across the conditions that make up a real ride.

The 404 Firecrest name carries real weight in the Zipp lineup — it's been the brand's benchmark all-rounder aero wheel for years, and this tubeless-disc version sits below the NSW flagship in price while keeping nearly all of its performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 58mm deep, the rim splits the difference between a shallow climbing wheel and a full-depth time trial disc, which is exactly why Zipp positions it for road racing, triathlon, gran fondos, and mixed-terrain riding rather than one narrow use case. The carbon rim is hookless with a symmetrical profile, a 23mm internal width, and a 28mm max external width — proportions built around modern wider tubeless tires rather than the narrow clinchers aero wheels were originally designed around. Zipp's ABLC Sawtooth dimpling pattern runs along the rim's sidewall to smooth airflow separation at speed, which is what keeps a wheel this deep from feeling twitchy when a crosswind hits on an exposed section of road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eZipp frames all of this under what it calls Total System Efficiency — the idea that four things slow a rider down: wind resistance, rolling resistance, gravity, and vibration losses, and that a wheel should be tuned against all four rather than just aerodynamics. The hookless rim design plays into that directly. Beyond the aero benefit of a smoother tire-to-rim transition, hookless construction uses resin more efficiently during layup, which Zipp says produces a lighter, stronger rim than a hooked bead of the same weight. Tire compatibility runs from 28c to 35c tubeless tires, wide enough to run lower pressures for comfort and grip on rough pavement without stepping outside the wheel's design range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hub is Zipp's ZR1 DB, a German-engineered design built for a quicker response and improved seal durability, with 66 points of engagement for fast pickup when you're back on the pedals out of a corner or a draft. It uses a Center Lock rotor interface, ships with 12mm thru-axle end caps, and this rear-specific build is available with either an XDR driver body or a Shimano\/SRAM HG11 body, so it isn't locked to one drivetrain brand (a Campagnolo driver body is available separately if needed).

Max tire pressure is rated to 73 psi, and the wheel carries a combined rider-and-bike weight limit of 253 lbs (115 kg).

Zipp dropped nearly 400 grams from the previous generation to arrive here, and the result is a wheel that pairs the depth riders have always wanted from the 404 with a weight that doesn't penalize you for choosing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 58mm rim depth is the defining characteristic of the 404 Firecrest, and it's not a number Zipp arrived at arbitrarily. Deep-section rims generate meaningful aerodynamic advantage at road racing speeds — the deeper the rim, the more the wheel acts like an airfoil rather than a blunt object moving through the air. At 58mm, the 404 sits in a range where that aero benefit is real and consistent on flat and rolling roads, without pushing into the handling sensitivity of 80mm-plus depths that become liabilities in crosswind conditions. The rim uses Zipp's ABLC Sawtooth dimple design — an intricate pattern across the rim surface that manages airflow boundary layers, contributing to both reduced drag and improved stability as yaw angle increases. The UD carbon fiber finish and Zipp's TSE (Total System Efficiency) manufacturing approach govern the layup geometry throughout the rim wall, with the goal of reducing wind resistance, rolling resistance, vibration losses, and weight simultaneously rather than trading one against another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe rim is hookless — a construction approach that Zipp uses across the Firecrest line. Hookless rims allow for more efficient resin distribution during the carbon manufacturing process, producing a rim that is lighter and stronger for a given wall thickness than a hooked equivalent. The transition between rim and tire is also more seamless aerodynamically, which reduces turbulence at the tire-rim interface at speed. The internal width is 23mm, optimized for tubeless tires in the 28-35mm range — a tire volume that supports lower pressures for improved rolling efficiency and vibration absorption while staying within the aerodynamic profile the rim was designed around. Maximum tire pressure is 73psi \/ 5.0 bar, and the wheelset requires tubeless-compatible tires. Zipp's optimized tubeless bead design allows for tool-free tire installation and removal without an air compressor. Brake interface is Centerlock disc, and the lockring ships with the wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eAt the center of the wheelset is the ZR1 DB hub — Zipp's German-engineered hub designed specifically for the Firecrest disc line. The ZR1 features 66 points of engagement, which translates to fast and consistent drive response when you're accelerating out of corners or onto the gas after a descent. The hub uses an improved seal design for better durability against contamination in wet and variable conditions, and runs on cartridge steel bearings. The hub shell is designed to minimize weight while maintaining the stiffness required to handle the lateral loads of road racing. The result is a hub that functions reliably under hard use without requiring frequent servicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe wheelset ships with 12mm thru-axle end caps — 100mm front, 142mm rear — covering the standard disc road frame axle specifications. Driver body options are SRAM XDR and SRAM\/Shimano Road; Campagnolo compatibility is available separately. The hookless rim and tubeless-only construction are worth confirming against your current tire setup before purchasing, particularly if you're coming from a hooked rim with clincher tires. The maximum recommended system weight (rider, bike, and gear combined) is 253 lbs \/ 115 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eZipp backs the 404 Firecrest with a lifetime warranty for product issues while riding. At $2,150, this wheelset represents the 404's long-standing position as Zipp's most versatile aero option — deep enough to be fast on the road, light enough to be useful over varied terrain, and durable enough to hold up through training seasons and races.

At a 21.2mm rim depth and 30mm internal width, the profile stays shallow and wide, which suits XC's low-speed, technical demands better than a deeper aero rim would.

It's a legitimate way to get into Zipp's current flagship cross-country wheel without committing to the full wheelset in one purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eZipp built the 1ZERO HITOP SW around the idea that a modern XC wheel needs to do more than just be stiff. Courses have gotten rougher, and a rim that's rigid above all else transmits every root and rock strike straight into the rider's hands. Zipp's proprietary HITOP carbon layup is tuned to flex predictably over chatter while staying stiff enough for hard efforts, and the rim carries a 30mm internal width with an asymmetrical, hookless profile rated for tires between 47 and 71c. It's built to hold up under a trail bike or full-suspension XC rig with up to 130mm of travel, which is more capability than a pure-race hardtail wheel typically offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim's \"winged\" edge profile is a deliberate design choice, not just a styling detail — the wider resting surface under the tire bead reduces the chance of a pinch flat when you clip a rock at speed, which matters more on a rough modern XC course than it did a few years ago. At a claimed 1,325 grams for the full wheelset, the 1ZERO HITOP SW stays near the top of its weight class despite that added durability margin, so you're not trading acceleration and climbing snap to get it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis wheel also comes with Zipp's TyreWiz 2.0 tire-pressure sensor built in, giving you a real-time pressure reading instead of guessing or checking with a separate gauge before every ride. Tire pressure has an outsized effect on rolling speed and grip on an XC bike, and having that number confirmed rather than assumed is a genuine advantage during a race warm-up or a pressure-sensitive technical section. The front hub itself is Zipp's ZM2 SL, delivering 66 points of engagement for a quick, direct response when you're accelerating out of a corner, and it's available configured with either a standard axle interface or SRAM's Torque Cap system, depending on what your fork and crank setup supports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRotor mounting is Center Lock, and the wheel carries a max tire pressure rating of 50 psi with a combined rider-and-bike weight limit of 286 lbs (130 kg).

The rim runs a very shallow 21.1mm depth, a deliberate departure from the deep aero profiles Zipp built its name on, because on singletrack, absorbing terrain matters more than cutting through the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat shallow depth is tied directly to Zipp's HiTop compliance technology, a proprietary carbon layup tuned to flex in a way that passes less feedback through to the rider. Where a stiffer XC rim transmits every root and rock strike straight up through the frame, this rim is built to absorb the small, high-frequency impacts that happen too fast for a bike's suspension to fully react to. In practice, that means more traction and composure through chattery, rough sections, and a rider who can carry speed through terrain that would otherwise bounce a stiffer wheel off-line. The rim also uses what Zipp calls a winged design at the hookless bead — a broader profile that gives the tire more surface area to rest against during a hard rock strike, cutting down on the chance of a pinch flat compared to a narrower bead edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim carries a 30mm internal width and 37.7mm external width, an asymmetrical profile sized specifically around the 2.35 to 2.4-inch tires that dominate current cross-country racing. Zipp built the whole system around bikes running up to 130mm of suspension travel, covering everything from a rigid-feeling hardtail to a short-travel full-suspension XC race bike, which makes this wheel relevant whether a rider's chasing lap times on a smooth course or picking through a genuinely technical one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath, the wheel runs Zipp's ZM2 SL hubset, an aluminum hub with a six-pawl compression freewheel system that delivers 66 points of engagement — quick enough to matter when a rider needs power down the instant they're back on the pedals after a technical section. The hub uses a Center Lock rotor fixture and is available with a Microspline or XD driver body depending on the drivetrain. Twenty-four Sapim CX-Ray steel spokes lace the rim to the hub on both front and rear, a spoke count and pattern built for a balance of low weight and the stiffness a race wheel still needs at the hub-to-rim interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZipp also builds the 1ZERO HiTop SW around its TyreWiz 2.0 system, a valve-integrated pressure sensor that gives a rider real-time tire pressure data instead of a guess from a squeeze test before the start line. On an XC wheel this tuned to a specific tire width and travel range, knowing exact pressure matters more than it does on a general-purpose trail wheel, and it's the kind of detail that separates this wheel from a simpler carbon hoop. As a complete pair, the 1ZERO HiTop SW wheelset is built light — Zipp lists it around 1,325 grams claimed — while still carrying a 130kg system weight rating, so it's built for racing without asking a rider to baby it on rough terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ Microspline","offer_id":43522093875244,"sku":"00.1918.720.002","price":1075.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XD Driver","offer_id":43522093908012,"sku":"00.1918.720.000","price":1075.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-1zero-hitop-sw-disc-brake-centerlock-29-wheel-rear-5624076.jpg?v=1771295948"},{"product_id":"zipp-1zero-hitop-sw-disc-brake-centerlock-29-wheel-sid-blue-graphic-rear","title":"Zipp 1ZERO HITOP SW Disc Brake Centerlock 29\" Wheel SID Blue Graphic - Rear","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eZipp 1ZERO HITOP SW Disc Brake Centerlock 29\" Wheel SID Blue Graphic - Rear\u003c\/strong\u003e is Zipp's first cross-country-specific wheelset in nearly 30 years, and the gap shows in how differently the company approached it compared to a typical XC wheel. The rim uses Zipp's proprietary HiTop carbon layup in a hookless, asymmetrical, winged profile — 21.2mm deep, 30mm internal width, 37.7mm maximum external width — built in UD carbon. The winged shape gives the tire a smoother resting surface against the rim, which reduces the odds of a pinch flat when you clip a rock or root at speed rather than just adding material to make the rim stiffer everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat distinction is the whole point of the HiTop design. Zipp's engineering team, led by design engineer Aaron Packard and test engineer Brian Leathers, built this wheel on the idea that maximum stiffness isn't actually what makes an XC wheel fast anymore — as Zipp puts it, a wheelset should feel alive rather than just being stiff above all else. The rim is engineered to comply with rough terrain instead of transmitting every hit straight into the rider, while still holding the stiffness needed for efficient climbing and hard accelerations out of corners. The project carried over momentum from Zipp's 3ZERO MOTO enduro wheelset, adapting that same terrain-compliant approach to the lighter, faster demands of cross-country racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the hub, this rear wheel runs Zipp's ZM2 SL hubset with 66 points of engagement, available with an XD or Microspline driver body to match SRAM or Shimano drivetrains. In its lightest configuration, the 1ZERO HITOP SW comes in at roughly 1,375 grams, and it integrates with Zipp's TyreWiz 2.0 system for real-time tire pressure monitoring — useful on a wheel built around running tubeless tires at precise, often lower pressures than riders default to. It's rated for tubeless tires in the 47-71c range, roughly 1.85 to 2.8 inches, with a 50 psi maximum pressure and a 286-pound system weight limit, and Zipp built it to handle bikes with up to 130mm of suspension travel — squarely in cross-country and light trail territory rather than anything built for aggressive descending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SID Blue graphic on this wheel isn't an arbitrary color choice. It matches the Blue Crush signature colorway RockShox uses on its SID Ultimate fork, and since Zipp and RockShox are both part of SRAM's component family, the pairing lets a rider building a dedicated XC race bike match their wheels to their fork rather than mixing graphics from unrelated brands. It's a small detail, but it reflects how tightly SRAM coordinates its component lines when a rider is building a bike around one ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat all of this adds up to on the trail is a wheel built for riders who need speed to survive contact with actual terrain, not just a number on a stiffness chart. Cross-country racing has moved toward rougher, more technical courses over the past several years, and a wheel that flexes intelligently over roots and rock gardens while still transferring power efficiently on the climbs is a direct response to that shift. For a racer building a dedicated XC bike, or a rider who wants a lightweight 29er wheel that can carry speed through rough sections rather than getting knocked off line by them, the 1ZERO HITOP SW is Zipp applying its carbon engineering experience to a category it hadn't touched in decades — and building something purpose-specific rather than a road wheel philosophy adapted to dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ SID Blue Graphic \/ XD Driver","offer_id":43522094039084,"sku":"00.1918.720.001","price":1075.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-1zero-hitop-sw-disc-brake-centerlock-29-wheel-sid-blue-graphic-rear-5574703.jpg?v=1771295948"},{"product_id":"zipp-1zero-hitop-s-disc-brake-6-bolt-29-wheel-front","title":"Zipp 1ZERO HITOP S Disc Brake 6-Bolt 29\" Wheel - Front","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eZipp 1ZERO HITOP S Disc Brake 6-Bolt 29\" Wheel - Front\u003c\/strong\u003e is the front half of Zipp's cross-country wheel platform, sold individually for riders building a custom wheelset or replacing a single wheel rather than the full pair.

Modern cross-country courses have gotten rougher, and a rim that's simply stiff everywhere tends to bounce off roots and rock gardens instead of tracking through them. The HITOP layup is built to absorb some of that hit at the rim itself, which shows up as more confidence on the rough sections of a course rather than a smoother ride in isolation.

That flare adds support right where a tire is most likely to pinch against the rim on a hard hit, reducing the chance of a pinch flat without adding a hooked bead's weight or complexity. It's finished in unidirectional carbon fiber with adhesive decals rather than a painted graphic, keeping weight down where it doesn't need to be added back.

Zipp took the  technology that they used to build wheels to withstand Paris-Roubaix and  applied the thinking to clincher rims, which need to be even stronger thanks to  the unsupported sidewalls. It’s the same rim as their rim-brake 202, as the  strength needed works not only to support the rim from side pressure, but from  vertical impact and the tube and tire pushing outwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 202  is the climbing shape, which means it’s the lightest clincher in the Zipp  stable, great for not only moving uphill, but accelerating quickly, and  grinding away at slow speeds.

The Firecrest shape was conceived to  give the rider greater stability by minimizing the side loads that can create  steering torque in crosswinds. The 202 itself is more stable in a crosswind  than a conventional box-section clincher, which is a pretty cool feat.

The Firecrest 303 rim is a natural for disc-brake applications. The rim hits the sweet spot of strong, light, and aero. The rear wheel comes in at just 885 grams. The rim possesses Zipp’s Firecrest shape. It is 45mm deep and 26.4mm wide at the brake track but 28.5mm a bit below. Its wide shape also decreases rolling resistance, improves grip, and even gives you more of an air cushion over rough roads. The width adds comfort and reduces rolling resistance by increasing air volume inside the tire. It is not only a bigger cushion, but at a given tire width and pressure, deformation over bumps and surface imperfections happens more easily. The Clincher rim is the same one found on the rim-brake version.

The flanges are slightly taller to work around the six-hole rotor mounts and the 17mm axle.

At 58mm deep, it sits in the sweet spot between a shallow climbing wheel and a full-depth time trial disc, making it equally at home in a road race, a triathlon, or a long gran fondo over mixed terrain. This is the wheel Zipp points to when a rider wants one aero front wheel that doesn't force a tradeoff between racing speed and all-day comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim itself is full carbon and hookless, meaning the sidewall transitions straight into the tire bead rather than curling over it. Zipp uses this construction because it allows for more efficient resin distribution during layup, producing a rim that's lighter and stronger while creating a more seamless, aerodynamic junction between tire and rim. The 23mm internal width is built around wider tubeless tires run at lower pressure, specifically 28-35c tubeless tires compatible with tube or sealant setups, with a maximum outside width of 28mm and a max tire pressure of 73psi. Running wider tires at reduced pressure is central to how Zipp approaches speed on real roads, not just in a wind tunnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat approach has a name: Zipp calls it Total System Efficiency, or TSE, developed by engineers at the brand's Nest Advanced Development Lab in Indianapolis. Instead of chasing aero numbers alone, TSE treats wind resistance, rolling resistance, gravity, and vibration loss as one connected system, and the 404 Firecrest reflects that thinking throughout. The rim surface uses Zipp's ABLC Sawtooth Technology, a dimpled pattern that manages airflow across the rim's surface to hold stability in crosswinds without adding drag. It's a wheel built to stay composed at speed on the kind of variable, gusty roads riders actually train and race on, not just in ideal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the center of the wheel is Zipp's new ZR1 DB hub, engineered in Germany with an improved seal design aimed at both durability and quicker engagement, delivering 66 points of engagement so power gets to the road faster when you put in an effort. The hub uses steel cartridge bearings and a Center Lock disc brake mount, and is built to handle a max recommended system weight of 253 pounds. As a full wheelset, Zipp lists this build at 1,559 grams in its lightest configuration, a meaningful drop from earlier generations of the 404 without sacrificing the stiffness or stability that made the line a staple in the first place. For riders who want a versatile aero front wheel that performs on race day and holds up through a full season of training, the 404 Firecrest remains one of the more proven choices in Zipp's lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43704835604524,"sku":"00.1918.620.000","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-404-firecrest-tubeless-disc-front-wheel-4496946.jpg?v=1771295894"},{"product_id":"zipp-858-nsw-disc-clincher-rear-wheel","title":"Zipp 858 NSW Disc Clincher Rear Wheel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Zipp 858 NSW Clincher Wheel is the latest step in  speed.  The wheel takes advantage of  Zipp’s Hyperfoil technology to create a wheel that’s deep in a headwind, but  much shallower in a crosswind.  And  thanks to the increasing popularity of disc brakes, it is offered in two  distinct versions, the rim brake model and the disc brake model.  This is a wheel for riding the flats, mastering  time trials, and killing the bike leg in multi-sport events.  Zipp triathletes say it’s versatile enough to  be your single race wheelset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll notice the waves in the rim shape.  Those are Hyperfoil nodes.  The rear wheels have 24 nodes, while the  front rim brake has 18 and the front disc brake 24.  The nodes are clocked with the spokes to make  them work better.  The nodes are inspired  by the way whales move through water, and achieve something Zipp likes to call  AeroBalance.  That’s their way of saying  that the wheel is fast but stable.   They’ve found that the wheel is as stable in crosswinds as their 404,  but faster than their 808.  Cool trick.  The deepest parts of the rim are 82mm like  the 808, but are combined with sections as shallow as 77mm.  When you add on the Sawtooth dimple pattern  and HexFin dimples, it’s faster still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Carbon Clincher Rim Brake version has Zipp’s ShowStopper  brake treatment, which improves both wet and dry braking, particulary the  dry.  It has 18 front spokes, 24  rear.  The set weighs 1750g, 808g for the  front, 942g for the rear.  The rim width  goes up to 24.4mm on the outside in front 23.7mm max width rear, and has a 17mm  internal width.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Carbon Clincher Disc Brake version is a bit different  owing to the needs of rotor disc brakes.   The front and rear rims are identical.   They’re 24-spokes, front and rear, with the same 24-spoke 23.7mm wide,  17mm internal width rim.  The HexFin  dimple pattern is extended to the end of the rim to further aerodynamics  because you don’t need a brake track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZipp loves Sapim CX-Ray spokes.  They’re light, fast, strong.  The rim brake version uses straight-pull  spokes while the disc brake version uses J-bend.  The different forces on the wheel dist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth wheel sets feature Zipp’s Cognition hubs.  The rim brake version utilizes a flangeless  front hub and a minimal, flanged rear hub that features two-cross spoking on  both sides.  A similar-looking scalloped,  flanged design is employed both front and rear on the disc brake version.  It is a bit different, as Zipp found that  J-bend spokes are better for disc wheels, and, as such, the flanges are  designed to be as light as possible without sacrificing strength.  The disc brake version hubs are designed for  Centerlock splined rotors only.  The disc  brake hubs come with quick release skewers and hand-removable end caps that can  convert the wheel from quick-release to 100x12mm, 100x15mm thru axles in front,  and 142x12mm thru-axles in the rear.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs should be expected, you can choose between a  Campagnolo-compatible 9\/10\/11-speed cassette body, and a Shimano\/SRAM body.

Zipp was founded in 1988 by motorsports engineer Leigh Sargent, and released the Zipp 3000 — the first three-spoke carbon wheel — the following year. That racing-first background still shows up in how Zipp engineers a wheel like the 404 NSW: not as a lightweight accessory, but as an aerodynamic tool built to a specific job. The rim runs a 58mm depth with a symmetrical carbon profile, hooked, at a 19mm internal width and 27mm max external width — proportions built around modern tubeless road tires rather than retrofitted to fit them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signature feature on the rim surface is Zipp's ABLC Sawtooth dimpling, a pattern of nodes across the rim's sidewall that functions on the same principle as the dimples on a golf ball. Air flowing over a smooth deep-section rim tends to separate from the surface at a certain point, creating a turbulent, energy-sapping wake behind the wheel. The Sawtooth dimples disrupt that airflow deliberately, at a frequency Zipp tuned to around 20 mph, generating smaller, more predictable vortices instead of one large unstable one. In practice, that shows up as a wheel that holds its line better in gusting crosswinds than a smooth-sided deep-section rim of the same depth — you spend less energy correcting your line and more energy actually moving forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hub is Zipp's Cognition design, running on stainless steel cartridge bearings with a Center Lock disc interface, and this rear wheel is built with an XDR driver body, compatible with SRAM and Shimano 11-speed drivetrains. Rim construction uses UD carbon fiber finished with Zipp's Impress process. In its lightest configuration — 12mm thru-axle, XDR driver body — this rear wheel comes in at roughly 900 grams, part of a claimed 1,690-gram set weight when paired with the matching front wheel. It's tubeless-ready and rated to 125 psi maximum tire pressure, with a 250-lb system weight limit, and Zipp built it around 25mm-and-wider tubeless tires rather than the narrower clinchers deep-section wheels were originally designed around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of that adds up to a wheel built for exactly one job: holding speed on the road with as little compromise as possible. The 58mm depth is deep enough to make a real aerodynamic difference at race pace without pushing into the territory where a rim becomes hard to control in a crosswind, and the tubeless setup lets you run lower pressure for grip and comfort on rough pavement without giving up the low rolling resistance a deep carbon rim is built around. Zipp's motorsports-engineering roots and its decades of testing carbon wheels under professional racers, including Mark Allen's Ironman-winning rides on Zipp wheels as early as 1990, are the reason a wheel like this exists at all — building a rim shape that manages airflow instead of just cutting through it took real aerodynamic research, not a marketing department's guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a race wheel for riders who've already decided speed and stability at speed matter more than shaving the last few grams off a climbing wheel.

It exists at the intersection of aerodynamic engineering and real-world versatility — designed for riders who race hard, ride long, and refuse to compromise on either speed or stability.

Flat-section rims stall in crosswinds. The 454 NSW's sculpted rim geometry is designed to manage air at a wide range of yaw angles, reducing the aerodynamic penalty when the wind stops being cooperative.

It is the engineering rationale behind the wheel's reputation for stability in unpredictable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZipp's Total System Efficiency philosophy underpins the entire build — the idea that speed on a bike is lost to multiple forces simultaneously, not just wind resistance. Rolling resistance, vertical compliance, and drivetrain friction all bleed energy. The 454 NSW addresses each of these through a combination of the hookless rim architecture, tubeless tyre compatibility, and the Cognition V2 hub. The result is a wheel intended to move faster with less effort — not through one dominant feature, but through the compounding effect of several well-executed ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"design_benefits\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSawtooth Rim with Hyperfoils — Aerodynamic Stability Across Wind Angles:\u003c\/strong\u003e The undulating rim profile is not simply about achieving a headline drag figure in a wind tunnel at zero yaw.

The \u003cstrong\u003eZipp 858 NSW Tubeless Disc Rear Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e was engineered to break that tradeoff. With an undulating 82–85mm Sawtooth rim profile, Hyperfoil nodes, and HexFin ABLC dimple geometry, the 858 NSW simultaneously reduces aerodynamic drag and side force — a combination that conventional deep-section wheels, smooth and constant-depth, can't achieve. This is Zipp's highest-performing aero wheel, designed for riders who demand maximum speed at the deepest end of the rim-depth spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aerodynamic system starts with the Sawtooth profile — Zipp's patented variable-depth rim shape that gives the 858 NSW its distinctive scalloped appearance. Along the inner diameter of the rim, a series of Hyperfoil nodes (fin-shaped structures integrated into the Sawtooth geometry) work in concert with HexFin ABLC dimples to control airflow around the wheel. The HexFin ABLC dimples are hexagonally shaped depressions arranged in fin-shaped clusters at each Hyperfoil. Their angular geometry increases boundary layer mixing, keeping airflow attached to the rim surface longer and reducing drag. Meanwhile, the Sawtooth undulations increase vortex shedding frequency — producing more, smaller, and more predictable vortices. The practical result is a wheel that holds a line in gusting crosswinds with significantly less rider input than a conventional constant-depth rim at the same depth. Zipp calls this AeroBalance: peak aerodynamic efficiency and genuine crosswind stability in the same wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 858 NSW is built on Zipp's TSE (Total System Efficiency) framework, which targets the four barriers to cycling speed — wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses — as an interconnected system. The hookless carbon rim construction addresses multiple barriers at once. Hookless rims are lighter than hooked alternatives and create a more seamless interface with tubeless tires, enabling lower pressures where tubeless compounds perform best. The 23mm internal rim width is optimized for 28–32mm tires, with Zipp citing 30mm as the aerodynamic and compliance sweet spot on this rim. Running a 30mm tubeless tire at lower pressure reduces rolling resistance, absorbs road vibration, and keeps the contact patch stable through corners — gains that accumulate meaningfully over a long race or triathlon run leg. Maximum recommended pressure is 73psi, keeping you in the range where the tire and rim combination works as designed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ZR1 SL hub runs custom hybrid ceramic bearings — ceramic rolling elements in steel races — for reduced friction and extended service life compared to full-steel alternatives. The center lock disc interface ships with the lockring included. Driver body options cover SRAM XDR for current 12-speed drivetrains and SRAM\/Shimano Road (HG11) for 11-speed, making the 858 NSW compatible across the range of modern groupsets. Zipp's ImPress direct-print graphics apply branding without covering the HexFin ABLC dimples — a deliberate choice, since exposed dimples are required for the aerodynamic system to function.

That weight reduction comes from Zipp's Carbon Internal Reinforcement (CiR) process, which produces a rim 10% lighter while maintaining equivalent structural strength. The 858 NSW is built around Zipp's Total System Efficiency (TSE) framework, which treats wheel performance as four separate problems to solve simultaneously: wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses. Addressing all four at once, rather than optimizing aerodynamics while accepting tradeoffs elsewhere, is the engineering premise behind the wheelset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe most technically significant element is the Sawtooth profile — Zipp's patented rim shape that varies between 82mm and 85mm in depth around the circumference. Developed through wind tunnel testing, CFD analysis, and real-world riding, and informed by the principles of biomimicry, the Sawtooth uses a series of fin-shaped Hyperfoil nodes along the inner diameter of the rim to manage airflow at each undulation. Each Hyperfoil node carries HexFin ABLC dimples: hexagonally shaped depressions arranged in variable-sized clusters that increase boundary layer mixing and keep airflow attached to the rim surface. The combined effect is that the 858 NSW simultaneously reduces aerodynamic drag and side force at wind yaw angles. Most deep-rim wheels make a tradeoff between those two — a rim optimized purely for drag reduction tends to behave like a sail in crosswinds. The Sawtooth addresses both. At higher yaw angles, where a conventional 85mm rim starts pushing the front wheel off line, the Hyperfoil nodes increase vortex-shedding frequency: more frequent, smaller, more predictable vortices rather than fewer large ones that create erratic handling. The result is an 85mm wheel that holds a line in crosswind conditions with confidence that its depth alone wouldn't suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eAt the center of the wheelset is the Cognition V2 hub, built around Zipp's Axial Clutch V2 mechanism. The Axial Clutch decouples the engagement mechanism from the freehub body when you're not under load, reducing rotational drag while coasting. In triathlon and time trial contexts — long descents, technical corners, transition zones — that reduction in passive friction accumulates over the course of a race. The V2 revision improves engagement timing and durability over the original Cognition design. Bearings are cartridge stainless steel. Graphics are applied using Zipp's ImPress direct-print technology, which prints directly onto the carbon surface rather than using decals, allowing the HexFin dimples to function without surface interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe hookless rim pairs with a 23mm internal width and an optimized tire bed designed for consistent tubeless mounting. Maximum recommended tire pressure is 73psi (5.0 bar). Zipp identifies 28mm as the optimal tire width for the 858 NSW — the point where aerodynamic efficiency and rolling resistance combine most favorably. Minimum usable tire width is 25mm. The 858 NSW is designed for tubeless tires; running a tube with a tubeless-ready tire is supported but not the primary use case. Brakes use a Center Lock rotor interface, with a lockring included. The wheelset ships with 12mm through-axle end caps front and rear. Driver body compatibility covers XDR (SRAM 12-speed) and HG11 (Shimano and SRAM 11-speed); a Campagnolo N3W body is sold separately. Maximum recommended system weight is 250lbs (114kg). The wheelset carries Zipp's lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 858 NSW is optimized for triathletes and time trial riders who need maximum aero performance from their wheels, but the Sawtooth profile's crosswind stability and the ride quality benefit of tubeless at lower pressures make it a serious option for any road rider building a dedicated fast setup. The tubeless-only requirement is a real constraint — verify tire compatibility before committing to a build, as not all tubeless tires are cleared for hookless rims. At $4,600, the 858 NSW is the top of Zipp's wheel lineup, and the engineering depth behind the rim profile, the hub, and the construction method reflects that position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ XDR Driver","offer_id":43522158821420,"sku":"00.1918.698.001.WS","price":4600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ HG11 (Shimano \/ SRAM 11s)","offer_id":44160758153260,"sku":"00.1918.698.000.WS","price":4600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-858-nsw-carbon-disc-brake-tubeless-wheelset-8805218.jpg?v=1771295893"},{"product_id":"zipp-808-firecrest-carbon-disc-brake-tubeless-rear-wheel","title":"Zipp 808 Firecrest Carbon Disc-Brake Tubeless Rear Wheel","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eZipp 808 Firecrest Carbon Disc-Brake Tubeless Rear Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e is Zipp's most aggressive aero statement — 80mm of carbon depth designed to hold speed with less effort on flat roads, in time trials, and through the kind of crosswinds that make shallower wheels feel nervous. This is the wheel you bolt on when aerodynamics are the priority, and the Firecrest rim shape is the reason it works. Rather than a simple deep-V profile, the Firecrest design uses a wider, more rounded cross-section that manages airflow across a range of wind angles, keeping the wheel stable and predictable when conditions get gusty. At 883g for the rear wheel alone, it carries its depth without the penalty that deep carbon wheels once demanded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZipp engineered the 808 Firecrest around their Total System Efficiency philosophy — the idea that aerodynamics alone do not tell the full story. TSE accounts for wind resistance, rolling resistance, gravity, and vibration losses as a complete picture of how a wheel performs in real-world riding. The 23mm internal width with a hookless rim bed is optimized for modern tubeless tires in the 28-32mm range, with 28mm being the sweet spot. Wider tires on a wide internal rim create a smoother, more aerodynamic tire profile that reduces rolling resistance and improves grip — a measurable gain you feel over the course of a long ride or a 40K time trial. The ABLC dimple pattern across the rim surface is Zipp's approach to boundary layer control, using precisely placed dimples to manage how air separates from the rim and reduce overall drag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the 808 Firecrest sits Zipp's German-engineered ZR1 disc brake hub. With 66 points of engagement, the rear hub picks up drive quickly — a detail that matters when you are accelerating out of corners or surging in a pack. Cartridge steel bearings keep the hub running smoothly and are straightforward to service. The center-lock disc brake interface pairs with a 12mm thru-axle for stiff, consistent braking under hard efforts. Sapim CX Sprint spokes — a proven J-bend design — handle the load reliably, and the symmetrical rim profile keeps spoke tension balanced for a truer, more durable wheel over time.

At 80mm deep, these wheels cut through the air with the kind of efficiency that makes a measurable difference over a long flat stage or a sustained time trial effort — yet Zipp's engineering approach means they're not a one-trick pony reserved for dead-calm days.

Less rolling resistance, fewer flats, and a more compliant ride aren't side effects here; they're part of the design intent.

Conventional aero rims operating at a constant depth produce large, powerful vortices as air passes over the rim profile — vortices that generate unpredictable side forces in gusting or angled wind. Zipp's wind tunnel and CFD development found that varying the rim depth creates Hyperfoil nodes: the raised, fin-shaped structures distributed around the rim's inner diameter that work in concert with the HexFin ABLC dimples to increase vortex shedding frequency. Higher frequency means more vortices per unit of time, but each one is smaller and less powerful, and together they're more predictable. The practical translation: the rider expends less energy holding a line in crosswind conditions. The HexFin ABLC dimples are hexagonal depressions at each Hyperfoil, arranged in fin-shaped clusters of variable sizes. Their angular geometry increases boundary layer mixing — keeping airflow attached to the rim surface longer — for reduced drag and improved handling in side winds. Zipp applies the wheel graphics using ImPress, a direct-print process, precisely because conventional paint fill would compromise the dimple geometry that the aerodynamic system depends on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe rim itself is hookless carbon, finished in UD fiber. Removing the bead hook from the rim wall allows for more efficient resin distribution in the carbon layup — a lighter and structurally stronger construction compared to a hooked rim of equivalent dimensions. The transition between tire bead and rim at the hookless interface is also more aerodynamically seamless than a traditional hooked profile, contributing to the wheel's overall drag reduction. The rim measures 23mm internally, sized for 28–35c tubeless tires — Zipp recommends 28mm as the optimal pairing for the best combined aerodynamic and rolling resistance performance on this wheel. Maximum tire pressure is 73 PSI \/ 5.0 bar. The disc brake interface is Center Lock with the lockring included. Maximum system weight is 253 lbs \/ 115 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe ZR1 SL front hub uses custom hybrid ceramic bearings and delivers 66 points of engagement. For a front wheel, hub engagement translates to how immediately the wheel responds to rider input coming out of corners and through direction changes. The ZR1 SL is 30 grams lighter than the predecessor NSW hub, part of an overall weight reduction in this generation of the 454 NSW — the full pair weighs 1,400 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eZipp's Total System Efficiency (TSE) framework is the organizing logic behind how these elements interact. TSE identifies four performance losses a road cyclist contends with — wind resistance, rolling resistance, gravity (weight and durability), and vibration losses — and addresses all of them rather than trading one against another. Hookless tubeless construction reduces rolling resistance and vibration transmission. The Sawtooth rim reduces wind resistance while improving crosswind stability. The ZR1 SL hub saves rotational weight. The 454 NSW front wheel is a $2,000 commitment. It's built for riders who've moved past optimizing a single performance variable and want the most complete picture: fast, stable, and predictable at race pace across the varied conditions that characterize riding outside of a wind tunnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43704720228396,"sku":"00.1918.616.000","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-454-nsw-tubeless-disc-front-wheel-5348341.jpg?v=1771295892"},{"product_id":"zipp-858-nsw-carbon-disc-brake-tubeless-front-wheel","title":"Zipp 858 NSW Carbon Disc Brake Tubeless Front Wheel","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Zipp 858 NSW Carbon Disc Brake Tubeless Front Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e sits at the top of Zipp's road wheel lineup — the deepest carbon disc rim they produce at 85mm, built specifically for riders who prioritize maximum aerodynamic speed above everything else. Zipp positions the 858 NSW as the wheel of choice for triathlon, time trialing, and road applications where raw velocity is the primary objective. It is not a versatile all-rounder; it is a purpose-built speed tool. At 719 grams, the front wheel is also significantly lighter than the previous 858 NSW generation — Zipp removed more than 243 grams from the overall wheelset during the redesign. That reduction shows up in acceleration and sustained-effort efficiency, and it means the 858 NSW delivers the aerodynamic return of an 85mm rim at a weight typically associated with rims that are 20mm shallower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe central technology in the 858 NSW is Zipp's Sawtooth rim profile — a patented variable-depth design developed through wind tunnel testing, CFD modeling, and real-world validation. The rim doesn't maintain a constant 85mm depth; it undulates between 82mm and 85mm, with a series of raised Hyperfoil nodes spaced along the inner rim diameter. Each of these nodes is paired with HexFin ABLC dimples — hexagonally shaped depressions whose angular geometry increases boundary layer mixing at the rim surface, helping keep airflow attached for reduced drag and improved crosswind stability. The dimples are arranged in fin-shaped clusters of variable sizes that work with each Hyperfoil to manage vortex shedding. The result is what Zipp calls AeroBalance: the Sawtooth profile simultaneously reduces both aerodynamic drag and side force across all wind yaw angles. That's the key distinction — most deep rims trade crosswind handling for aero efficiency, generating rim-induced steering torque that the rider has to counteract. The 858 NSW is engineered to reduce both variables at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eZipp's TSE (Total System Efficiency) framework governs how every element of the 858 NSW was designed. The approach addresses the four barriers to cycling speed — wind resistance, rolling resistance, gravity (weight and structural durability), and vibration losses — rather than optimizing a single metric. The Sawtooth profile handles wind. The hookless tubeless rim addresses rolling resistance and weight together: eliminating the bead hook creates a more precise tire interface that reduces rolling resistance, and the hookless construction itself removes material from the rim. The Carbon Internal Reinforcement (CiR) layup achieves the same structural integrity as the previous generation at 10% less weight. Zipp's data identifies 28mm as the optimal tire width for the 858 NSW — wide enough to run lower pressures for decreased rolling resistance without generating excess frontal area. Minimum tire width is 25mm, and maximum tire pressure is 73psi\/5.0 bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Cognition V2 hub at the center of the 858 NSW is built around Zipp's Axial Clutch V2 mechanism. Conventional hub designs create drag through the engagement mechanism even when the rider isn't pedaling — the clutch system is in constant light contact with the driver body during coasting. The Axial Clutch V2 separates the engagement mechanism from the bearing load path when not under pedaling load, reducing friction during descents and transitions where maintaining speed without effort matters most. The result is a hub that rolls efficiently pedaling or coasting, with quicker engagement when power is reapplied. The ImPress graphics process, which prints designs directly onto the carbon fiber rather than applying decals, is directly related to aerodynamic performance — a smooth surface at each HexFin dimple location allows the dimples to manage vortex shedding as designed, without a decal layer interrupting their geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe front wheel uses a 23mm internal width rim with a maximum outside width of 27mm. Hub spacing is 12mm thru-axle with end caps included; the brake interface is Center Lock disc with lockring included. The hookless design is optimized for tubeless tires — Zipp publishes a compatibility guide that should be confirmed before tire selection, as not every tubeless-ready tire is approved for hookless bead seats. Running a tubeless-ready tire with a tube is possible as a backup option. The 858 NSW is sold as an individual wheel, allowing riders to pair it with the 858 NSW rear or mix wheel depths for specific conditions or race formats.

The \u003cstrong\u003eZipp 808 Firecrest Carbon Disc-Brake Tubeless Front Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e is Zipp's most aggressive road wheel offering, built for riders who want to translate every watt into forward motion without anything left on the table. At 752g for the front wheel (lightest configuration, 12mm thru-axle, no tape or valves), it carries that 80mm depth without punishing you on the scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 808 is the wheel Zipp designed for triathlon transitions, flat-stage criteriums, and time trial courses where the terrain stays low and the wind is the primary variable. The current disc-brake version is engineered for thru-axle frames, with 12mm end caps included and a center lock rotor interface. The ZR1 DB hub — German-engineered, with 66 points of engagement — provides instant power transfer and is compatible with Shimano HG, SRAM XDR, and Campagnolo N3W driver bodies. Zipp builds the 808 front alongside the Super-9 Disc rear as the preferred TT and triathlon pairing, though for road racing, a double 808 setup remains the most committed aero configuration in their lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo design technologies give the 808 its aerodynamic character. The Firecrest rim profile — Zipp's wide, toroidal rim shape — is designed to treat the rim and tire as a unified aerodynamic surface rather than two separate parts. By broadening the rim bed to match wider tire widths, Firecrest creates a continuous fairing between tire shoulder and rim wall that reduces turbulence at the transition zone. The ABLC (Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control) dimple pattern builds on this: a complex arrangement of dimples engineered into the carbon surface that manages the boundary layer of airflow around the rim as yaw angle increases. Most riding happens with wind coming from angles other than straight ahead, and the ABLC pattern is specifically designed to delay airflow separation — and the drag penalty that comes with it — across that real-world range of conditions. Zipp calls their overarching approach TSE (Total System Efficiency), the philosophy that the rim, tire, and frame should be treated as one integrated system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 808's 23mm internal-width hookless construction is tubeless-only — no clincher tires, no inner tubes. The recommended tire width is 28mm, with a minimum of 25mm, and the maximum pressure is 73 psi \/ 5.0 bar. That pressure ceiling is by design: at 25–28mm widths and lower pressures, rolling resistance drops and road noise dampens, while the rim's aero profile continues to function efficiently at speed.

It is a disc wheel in the truest sense — a single, unbroken carbon surface from hub to rim — and every millimeter of that surface has been shaped around aerodynamic intent. If you have ever ridden a disc wheel in a race and felt the way it holds momentum through a slight false flat, you already understand the appeal. The Super-9 takes that feeling and sharpens it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZipp's approach here centers on what they call Total System Efficiency — a design methodology that looks at the wheel, tire, and air pressure as a single system rather than isolated components. The rim profile runs parallel from the hub flange and feathers inward to meet a hookless bead seat, allowing wider tires to sit with a rounder, more aerodynamically favorable cross-section. The result is a disc wheel designed to be fastest with a 28mm tire at lower-than-typical pressures — a counterintuitive idea that holds up under scrutiny. Lower pressure means more casing compliance, which reduces the high-frequency vibration that costs measurable watts on anything other than a velodrome. The Super-9 is built for real roads, not idealized ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carbon construction delivers the stiffness expected from a disc wheel — every watt you put down translates directly into forward motion — while the hookless architecture reflects Zipp's broader move toward tubeless-optimized rim design.

Decades of wind tunnel testing, velodrome feedback, and carbon laminate refinement have produced a front disc that does exactly what a track wheel must: eliminate aerodynamic drag, hold a line, and transfer every watt from your legs to the boards without compromise. This is not a wheel you adapt your riding to — it is a wheel built to respond to the way you already ride hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the track, aerodynamics are not abstract. Every tenth of a second is the product of choices made long before the gun goes off — your line, your position, your equipment. A front disc wheel changes the aerodynamic profile of the entire front end of the bike. Rather than the turbulent air interaction of a spoked wheel, a solid carbon surface presents a clean, unbroken plane to the oncoming air. The Super-9 is built around a stiff carbon laminate optimized for 23mm tires, which keeps the aerodynamic profile consistent and predictable at race speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates this wheel from older disc designs is the tubeless compatibility. Running a tubeless setup on the track allows you to run lower pressures without the risk of pinch flats — delivering a small but meaningful compliance benefit that can take the edge off a rough track surface without softening the power transfer you need. It also removes the inner tube as a variable, reducing the chance of a mechanical at the worst possible moment.

As part of Zipp's XPLR line — the brand's dedicated gravel platform — this 650b front wheel pairs a hookless carbon rim with a 15mm depth, 27mm internal width, and roughly 35mm external width, giving you a wide, stable tire bed suited to the wider, lower-pressure tires that gravel riding demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this wheel apart is Zipp's single-wall MOTO Technology, which allows the carbon rim to flex slightly around the spoke nipples rather than staying rigid the way a typical road or track rim does. On smooth pavement that flex would be a liability. On broken gravel, chunky doubletrack, or a washboard descent, it works in your favor — the rim absorbs impacts instead of transmitting every hit straight into your hands and hips, which translates into more traction, better control, and a real reduction in pinch-flat risk when you're running tire pressure low enough to actually grip loose surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe build underneath that rim is just as gravel-specific. Twenty-eight Sapim CX-Sprint spokes in a three-cross lacing pattern give the wheel the durability to handle repeated impacts without going out of true, and the front wheel rolls on Zipp's ZR1 disc hub. With 66 points of engagement, the ZR1 picks up drive quickly when you're stomping out of a loose corner or grinding back onto the pedals after a technical section — the kind of responsiveness that matters more on inconsistent gravel than it does on a smooth road climb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hookless rim profile means this wheel is built exclusively around tubeless-ready tires, which is where most serious gravel riders already are — tubeless setups let you run the lower pressures this wheel is designed around without the pinch-flat risk that comes with tubes. \u003c!-- VERIFY: exact wheel weight not confirmed for this individual front-wheel SKU; published figures are for the full front-and-rear wheelset --\u003e Between the wider internal bed and the compliant rim design, the 101 XPLR is built to let you push tire choice and pressure further than a standard gravel wheel would comfortably allow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is the front wheel only, sold separately from its rear counterpart, and it's available in Black or the Kwiqsand colorway.

Where Zipp's road wheels chase aero depth, the 101 XPLR runs a shallow 15mm rim — a sign that this wheelset's priorities are compliance and tire volume over cutting through the air, because on rough gravel roads, absorbing the terrain matters more than a few watts of aero savings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat compliance comes from Zipp's MOTO Technology, borrowed from the brand's 3ZERO MOTO mountain bike wheelset. The rim uses a single-wall construction that's built to flex and pivot slightly side-to-side within the spoke bed, rather than staying perfectly rigid the way a road rim does. On rough gravel, that flex works with the terrain instead of fighting it, damping vibration and chatter from washboard roads and letting the wheel deflect small bumps instead of transmitting every hit straight to the rider's hands. Over a long day in the saddle, that adds up to noticeably less fatigue than a stiffer, road-derived wheel would deliver on the same terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim itself carries a 27mm internal width and 34mm external width, built as a hookless, straight-sided tubeless design. That width range is wide enough to run tires from 42mm gravel rubber up to 2.2-inch mountain bike tires, which Zipp positions as Tour Divide-ready — built for riders doing long, unsupported gravel and bikepacking routes as much as a weekend gravel race. The combination of the wider internal bed and the MOTO flex lets a rider run lower tire pressure with less pinch-flat risk than a narrower, stiffer rim would allow, and Zipp built the bead shape for what it calls frustration-free tubeless tire installation — a real consideration on a wheel meant to be set up and serviced away from a shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath, the 101 XPLR runs Zipp's ZR1 hubset, built around steel cartridge bearings and a six-pawl leaf-spring driver mechanism that delivers 66 points of engagement with a 5.45-degree maximum pickup lag — quick enough to matter when you're picking your way through technical gravel and need power down the instant you start pedaling again. Zipp designed the hub's seals for long service intervals even in bad conditions, which matters more on a gravel wheel that's going to see mud and grit than it does on a road wheel. The wheelset laces 28 Sapim spokes into the ZR1 hubs, running 12mm thru-axles front and rear, with a choice of an HG11 driver for Shimano\/SRAM 11-speed or an XDR driver depending on the drivetrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 700c build with a 12mm thru-axle and XDR rear hub, the wheelset weighs 1,665 grams, not including tubeless tape and valves — light enough to keep the bike feeling quick over a long gravel day without giving up the durability this terrain demands. All of it points toward a rider doing serious gravel racing or multi-day bikepacking routes who wants a wheelset built around comfort and tire flexibility rather than one adapted from a road platform, at a price well below the $1,899 this wheelset normally runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ HG11 (Shimano \/ SRAM 11s)","offer_id":43542514303020,"sku":"00.1918.652.WS1","price":1099.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XDR Driver","offer_id":43542514335788,"sku":"00.1918.652.WS2","price":1099.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kwiqsand \/ HG11 (Shimano \/ SRAM 11s)","offer_id":43542514368556,"sku":"00.1918.652.WS3","price":1099.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kwiqsand \/ XDR Driver","offer_id":43542514401324,"sku":"00.1918.652.WS4","price":1099.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-101-xplr-tubeless-disc-wheelset-700c-1595316.jpg?v=1771295771"},{"product_id":"zipp-101-xplr-tubeless-disc-wheelset-650b","title":"Zipp 101 XPLR Tubeless Disc Wheelset - 650b","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eZipp 101 XPLR Tubeless Disc Wheelset - 650b\u003c\/strong\u003e was Zipp's first wheel built specifically for gravel rather than adapted from a road platform, and the rim construction shows it. Instead of chasing pure stiffness, Zipp built the 101 XPLR around what it calls MOTO Technology, a single-wall rim design that lets the edges of the rim flex slightly as they hit obstacles, rather than transmitting every impact straight into the wheel and the rider. It's a gravel wheelset built around the idea that control and comfort on rough terrain matter as much as raw stiffness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMOTO Technology works by allowing the rim to pivot from either side of the spoke bed as the wheel rolls over rocks, ruts, and washboard sections. Each edge of the rim is designed with extra compliance built in, which creates a feeling closer to suspension than a traditional rigid carbon rim. Zipp's case for this approach includes higher impact resistance, a reduced chance of pinch flatting, more traction through rough corners, and the ability to run lower tire pressures without the rim taking the hit directly. The tradeoff most riders will actually feel is reduced fatigue over a long day, since less of that terrain feedback makes it into your hands and body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the 650b version of the 101 XPLR, which Zipp positions as delivering an even more compliant and versatile feel over difficult terrain than the 700c version of the same wheel. The rim itself is carbon and hookless, built with an asymmetrical profile, a 36mm external width and a 27mm internal width, and 28 spoke holes for a wheel built to handle real off-road loads rather than just wider tires. It's a tubeless-only rim — there's no clincher tube compatibility here — which is standard for a wheel built around running lower pressures on rough surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth wheels roll on Zipp's ZR1 hubset, which uses a tight seal design for durability and 66 points of engagement for a quick response when you need to put power down on a loose climb or accelerate out of a rutted corner. This wheelset is available with either an HG11 driver body for Shimano or SRAM 11-speed drivetrains or an XDR driver body, so compatibility depends on which build you're pairing it with. Riders who want to dial in tire pressure precisely can add Quarq's TyreWiz as a separate accessory, which Zipp designed to work with the 101 XPLR for exactly that purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZipp built the 101 XPLR on the premise that gravel riders deserve the same level of purpose-built engineering road riders have had for years, rather than a wheel that's simply a road platform with wider tire clearance bolted on. This wheelset is available in black or Kwiqsand finishes, and it's suited to riders tackling long gravel days, mixed-terrain adventure routes, or gravel races where comfort and control over rough ground matter as much as outright speed.

The 101 XPLR was Zipp's first wheel built specifically for gravel from the ground up rather than adapted from a road platform, and this 650b version is aimed at riders running larger-volume tires for rougher, more technical terrain than a 700c gravel setup typically handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining feature is Zipp's MOTO Technology, built around a single-wall rim construction rather than the double-wall design most carbon wheels use. That single wall is intentionally less rigid side to side, which lets the rim itself absorb some of the impact and vibration from rough gravel instead of transmitting all of it straight into the rider's hands and legs. The result is a wheel that feels noticeably calmer on chattery, rock-strewn terrain, with better control and less fatigue over a long ride — without needing front or rear suspension to get there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim is carbon and hookless, with a 27mm internal width tuned around wide gravel tires rather than road-plus sizes. Zipp rates it for tires from 35mm up to 65mm, with an ideal range around 40-55mm — the sweet spot for mixed-terrain and technical gravel riding. Because the rim is hookless, Zipp requires a tubeless or tubeless-ready tire with a stiffer bead; running a tube is fine, but the tire itself still needs to be tubeless-rated. That wider rim and tire pairing lets you run lower pressures for better traction and real pinch-flat resistance on rocky, technical sections, which is exactly where a narrower setup runs into trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hub is Zipp's ZR1 Disc Brake hub, built with an improved seal design for durability in dirty, wet conditions and 66 points of engagement for a quick, responsive pickup out of technical sections. Rotor mounting is Center Lock, and this rear wheel is available with either an XDR driver body or a Shimano\/SRAM HG11 body, covering the two most common gravel drivetrain standards.

It's part of Zipp's first purpose-built gravel wheel platform, and the 101 XPLR trades the aero-first thinking of Zipp's road wheels for a design built around control on rough, technical terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe centerpiece of that design is Zipp's MOTO Technology, a concept the brand carried over from its 3ZERO MOTO mountain bike wheels. The single-wall carbon rim is built to pivot and flex slightly within the spoke bed rather than staying rigidly fixed to the hub, an effect Zipp calls \"ankle compliance.\" On washboard gravel and chattery terrain, that flex lets the rim absorb small impacts independently of the tire, which takes the edge off high-frequency vibration without the weight or complexity of a suspension fork. The rim stays laterally stiff through corners and under braking, so the compliance shows up as comfort and control rather than vague or wandering handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRim dimensions reflect where gravel tire width has gone: a 27mm internal width and roughly 36mm external width, built on a tubeless, hookless profile. That width gives a wide gravel tire proper support at lower pressures, which is where a lot of the 101 XPLR's traction and comfort advantage on rough terrain comes from — a wider bead seat lets the tire hold its shape and resist rolling under side loads instead of squirming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eZipp builds the wheel around its ZR1 hubset, using 24 straight-pull Sapim CX-Sprint spokes laced to the front hub. The ZR1 hub uses a 66-tooth ratchet engagement system, which gives quick pickup when you get back on the pedals after coasting through a technical section — useful on gravel, where power delivery often needs to be immediate rather than smooth and gradual. The wheel uses a 12x100mm thru-axle front spacing and a Center Lock rotor interface compatible with 140mm or 160mm rotors, so it drops into most modern gravel disc frames without adapter hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a wheel for riders pushing their gravel bike into terrain that starts to resemble mountain biking — loose descents, rock gardens, and rutted doubletrack — rather than fast, smooth gravel roads where a lighter, more aero wheel would make more sense. Available in Black and Kwiqsand, the 101 XPLR front wheel is the right pickup for a rider who has already decided that control and comfort on rough terrain matter more than shaving grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":43583190597676,"sku":"00.1918.651.000","price":649.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Kwiqsand","offer_id":43583190630444,"sku":"00.1918.651.001","price":649.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-101-xplr-tubeless-disc-front-wheel-700c-9186072.jpg?v=1771295175"},{"product_id":"zipp-303-firecrest-carbon-clincher-rear-wheel","title":"Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Rear Wheel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Firecrest shape is probably  most dramatic when seen in the Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher. Firecrest is  Zipp’s wide-body rim design, which reduces drag both from pure headwinds, as  well as from crosswinds. The depth, 45mm, puts the rim toward the shallow end  of mid-depth wheels, but it has the drag numbers of much deeper rims, and the side  wind stability of much shallower rims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key  is the Firecrest shape. 26.4mm at  the brake track but 28.5mm a bit below, and the blunt end on the spoke side,  not only cuts through the wind, but also handles cross-winds like few wheels  out there. And the wide shape also decreases rolling resistance, improves grip,  and even gives you more of an air cushion over rough roads. The width adds  comfort and reduces rolling resistance by increasing air volume inside the tire.  It’s not only a bigger cushion, but at a given tire width and pressure,  deformation over bumps and surface imperfections happens more easily. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the setup for people who want a serious aero edge on the flats  while still climbing very well. And at this weight, it also accelerates quickly  and easily. The set weighs in at 1625g, with a 725g front and 900g rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZipp has kept the Firecrest shape constant. But to improve the wheel,  they had to change the spokes and hubs. They were looking to increase lateral  stiffness, which is a plus in front for steering precision, and a plus in back  for greater energy transferred to driving the bike forward. They moved on to  Sapim CX-Sprint spokes, which are not only super aero, but pretty stiff for  what looks to be a skinny blade. The 77\/177 hub set is a new offering from Zipp  and a real improvement. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pre-load adjustment of the older 88\/188 set is gone, simplifying  things, as well as designing in lower lateral loading so the bearings roll more  smoothly. The front flanges are taller, wider, and hold the spoke in a stronger  position. The rear flanges are arranged in a star pattern, allowing for better  bracing angles and yielding a strong cross-two pattern and higher spoke  tensions. There’s a small, but real weight savings realized as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor rear wheels, Zipp offers both a Campagnolo-compatible, and  Shimano\/SRAM-compatible cassette body. The latter comes with a spacer for  8\/9\/10-speed cassettes. In both cases, the 177 hub body allows you to install a  SRAM XD-cassette body for super-wide range gearing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 303 will make you faster, no matter where you put it and whether it  goes in front or in back. That written, matching the 303 front with a 303 rear  is common. Some folks will pair the 303 front with a deeper rear, taking  advantage of the greater stability of the shallower front in crosswinds. Likewise,  some folks will run a shallower front with 404 rear, for the same idea, just in  different applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wheel is delivered with a Zipp  quick release skewer and Zipp Platinum Pro brake pads. Both have been updated:  the skewer for better ergonomics and aerodynamics, and the pads for greater  surface area as well as cooling. Zipp strongly recommends use of their pads on  their rims and warns against using carbon-specific pads on aluminum rims.\u003cbr\u003e\n  Also  included are Zipp rim strip, valve extender, and Zipp Tangente butyl road inner  tube.

That flexibility matters if you're moving the wheel between bikes or upgrading a frame down the line — the same wheel can follow you rather than becoming obsolete with a single axle spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpokes are 24-count Sapim CX Sprint, a J-bend design laced in a 2x\/2x crossing pattern with brass secure-lock nipples. Sapim's CX Sprint spokes are a proven choice for a wheel that needs to hold tension reliably under repeated hard efforts — the kind of detail that shows up as long-term durability rather than something you notice on day one. The crossed lacing pattern spreads load across the wheel rather than concentrating it, which matters more on a rear wheel that absorbs the bulk of a rider's power output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTotal weight comes in at 910 grams for the rear wheel alone, with a 250-pound max rider weight rating that covers the vast majority of riders without qualification.

For a rider upgrading from a stock alloy wheel, replacing a wheel lost to a crash or warranty issue, or building a disc-brake road bike around dependable carbon aero performance without paying for Zipp's flagship depth and finish, the 302 rear wheel is a straightforward way into real carbon wheel engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ Shimano \/ SRAM","offer_id":43594528948268,"sku":"00.1918.348.011","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ Shimano \/ SRAM","offer_id":43594528981036,"sku":"00.1918.348.000","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ XDR Driver","offer_id":43594529013804,"sku":"00.1918.348.013","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-302-carbon-clincher-disc-rear-wheel-4730520.jpg?v=1771294630"},{"product_id":"zipp-303-nsw-disc-tubeless-clincher-rear-wheel","title":"Zipp 303 NSW Disc Tubeless Clincher Rear Wheel","description":"\u003cp\u003eZipp saw in the disc  wheel revolution a chance to improve their offerings, and they ran with it. Their  303 NSW Disc Tubeless Clincher is not merely a rim brake wheel laced to a disc  brake hub, but a complete revision of the wheelset, improving both aerodynamics  and function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 303 is generally  seen as a mid-depth rim. It fits in the sweet spot of light weight and aero. It’s  for this reason that it might be the most versatile Zipp rim depth. It is deep  enough to be fast when racing down a smooth road, but it’s light enough to  climb well, and balance means it is also good for cyclocross, and gravel  grinding. The depth is such that even small riders won’t be concerned about  crosswinds pushing them around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZipp’s work was first,  and most importantly, done on the rim. Thanks to the braking occurring at the  hub, they continued their SawTooth dimple pattern all the way to the edge of  the rim. As you should know by now, SawTooth is a design of indents molded into  the outside rim walls that is comprised of twelve nodes. These are designed to  start working for you at speeds of 20mph and then work better when faster. They  essentially change the behavior of the wind around the rim to negate side wind  pressure on the rim in crosswinds, thus making the wheel more stable at high  speeds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey also tweaked the  rim shape, keeping the 45mm depth, but increasing the max width of the rim to  28.9mm. The result is that the tire width that is most aerodynamic is 28mm. You  can go wider for rough- and off-road adventures, but probably won’t want to go  narrower than 25mm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior of the rim  has been changed as well. the internal width is 21mm, and the side walls have  ridges that help hold the tire in place when pressure is low. This is to  improve the interface with tubeless tire beads. No burps when running wide  tires at low pressures. Factory-applied tubeless rim tape finishes the rim  package. You can run tubed tires as well; you’ll just need to remove the valve  stem from the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the need to  make the rim sidewalls strong enough to handle the pressure of clincher tires,  these carbon rims are super-strong.

The flanges are slightly taller to work  around the six-hole rotor mounts and the 17mm axle. While you can see that the  spokes have a two-cross pattern, it actually possesses the lateral stiffness of  a three-cross thanks to the size of the flanges and the orientation of the  spokes.

The rim remains 32mm deep, but the width has  mushroomed out to 28.9mm from 25.4mm, and the internal width 21mm. As you can  imagine the shape means wider tires. 25mm is as narrow as you’ll want to go,  but the 28mm width offers better aerodynamics still and going even wider still  offers great aerodynamics. This rim works best with wide tires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s also stronger.  Without having to deal with the force of brakes squeezing the rim, they were  able to move material around. And the strength you can rely on. Feel free to  drop the tire pressure. Not only will the rim withstand whatever you’re putting  in front of it, but the molded internal ridges lock tires in place, even at low  pressures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZipp employs their  77\/177D hub set, which was purpose-built for disc braking. There are 24  aero Sapim CX-Ray spokes, both front and rear. A cross pattern is necessary in  front to counter the forces of braking. The flanges are slightly taller to work  around the six-hole rotor mounts and the 17mm axle. While you can see that the  spokes have a two-cross pattern, it actually possesses the lateral stiffness of  a three-cross thanks to the size of the flanges and the orientation of the  spokes. The benefits of the design are more aero and shorter spokes. The rotor  mounting method is six-bolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front wheel weighs in at 705g, the rear 825g. Maximum  recommended tire pressure is 125psi, which should be overkill for any tire  you’d want to install on this wheel. Maximum recommended rider weight is 250lbs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor rear wheels, Zipp offers both a Campagnolo-compatible, and  Shimano\/SRAM-compatible cassette body. The latter comes with a spacer for  9\/10\/11-speed cassettes. In both cases, the 177D hub body allows you to install  a SRAM XDR Driver body for super-wide range gearing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wheel comes with quick  releases and endcaps to convert the hub for thru-axle or quick-release use.

At $2,000 for the front wheel alone, the 353 NSW is positioned at the top of Zipp's lineup, and it earns that position through a set of capabilities that begins with the rim and extends through the hub, the tire interface, and the connection to your phone via SRAM AXS. This is not a wheel for every rider. For the rider it suits, there is nothing else in the Zipp catalog that comes close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSawtooth Rim: Hyperfoil, HexFin, and an Undulating Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 353 NSW uses Zipp's Sawtooth rim design, which means the rim depth is not uniform around the circumference. The profile undulates between 35mm and 40mm as you move around the rim, creating an aerodynamic effect that differs fundamentally from a standard fixed-depth rim. This is not a compromise — Zipp's wind tunnel testing showed that the undulating Sawtooth profile delivers crosswind stability advantages that a flat-profile rim at the same average depth cannot match, because the varying surface geometry interacts with crosswinds differently at different points of the rotation. The Sawtooth shape also allows the rim to be lighter than an equivalent fixed-depth construction at the same structural integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo additional technologies work alongside the Sawtooth profile. Hyperfoil nodes are shaped protrusions on the rim surface that act as aerodynamic vortex generators, conditioning airflow as it moves over the rim. HexFin ABLC (Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control) dimples cover the rim surface and reduce aerodynamic drag by managing the boundary layer of air closest to the rim. The combination of these three elements — undulating depth, Hyperfoil nodes, and HexFin ABLC dimples — represents the current state of Zipp's aerodynamic rim engineering. A revised carbon layup on the current 353 NSW also delivers more than 16 percent higher rim impact strength compared to the previous generation without adding weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAXS Wheel Sensor: Tire Pressure Monitoring Built In\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 353 NSW is the first SRAM AXS-connected wheel. The rim is designed to seamlessly integrate the Zipp AXS Wheel Sensor, which monitors tire pressure in real time without a separate device mounted to the valve stem. Before a ride, a green indicator confirms the pressure is within the target range. During the ride, the sensor reports pressure data through the SRAM AXS ecosystem. This is relevant because tubeless tire pressure is not static — temperature, altitude, and distance affect it — and pressure directly affects rolling resistance, grip, and puncture resistance. The 353 NSW makes fine-tuning tire pressure on a per-ride or mid-ride basis practical in a way that traditional setups do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eZR1 SL Hub: Ceramic Bearings, 66 Points of Engagement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 353 NSW front wheel runs Zipp's ZR1 SL hubset with custom hybrid ceramic bearings. Ceramic bearings run at lower friction than steel alternatives under load, particularly in the conditions where road wheels operate — high rotational speeds with varying loads. The ZR1 SL hub is also 30 grams lighter than the hub used in previous-generation NSW wheels. The front hub runs on custom hybrid ceramic bearings sized specifically for the 353 NSW application. The 24-spoke front wheel uses a Centerlock rotor interface and is compatible with any disc brake thru-axle fork using a 12x100mm standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTubeless Setup and Tire Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 353 NSW uses a hookless rim design. Hookless rims are tubeless-only — clincher tires with inner tubes are not approved for use on this rim. The 25mm internal width and 30mm external width are optimized for 30mm tires, and the approved tire size range is 29mm to 35mm ISO\/TSS compatible tubeless tires. Maximum tire pressure is 73psi. Running tires at or below this limit on a hookless rim is a design requirement, not a preference. The 353 NSW is not approved for gravel riding. For riders already committed to tubeless road setups in the 28-32mm tire range, the hookless system is a non-issue. For riders who run narrower tires or prefer clincher backup, it is a meaningful constraint to know before buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zipp 353 NSW carries a lifetime warranty and is sold here as the front wheel.

Zipp designed the 303 XPLR line specifically for off-road racing rather than adapting a road wheel to dirt, and the SW sits at the top of that lineup. It carries a 54mm-deep, hookless carbon rim with a 32mm internal width and 40mm external width — dimensions chosen to let riders run tire pressures well under 30 psi without the tire squirming under load in corners or on loose climbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat ultra-wide profile is the core of what Zipp calls its Total System Efficiency approach applied to gravel. Lower pressure means more contact area and better vibration absorption on chattery surfaces, which translates to less fatigue over long gravel races and more traction when the terrain gets loose. The rim itself is tubeless-only and finished in UD carbon, and the wide-to-tire transition is engineered to keep the aero profile clean even with a wide gravel tire mounted. One important note for anyone building a wheelset around this front wheel: the 303 XPLR SW is only compatible with approved tires — specifically the Goodyear XPLR Slick and Goodyear XPLR Inter — so tire choice isn't optional here the way it would be on a standard hookless rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHub and build quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpinning inside the rim is Zipp's ZR1 disc-brake hub, a German-engineered design built around 66 points of engagement for quick response out of corners and off the front of a climb. The hub uses cartridge bearings and is available with SRAM XDR or SRAM\/Shimano HG driver bodies, with a Campagnolo N3W option sold separately, so it slots into most modern gravel drivetrains without forcing a compromise. This front wheel uses a 12x100mm thru-axle and 24 black CX-Ray spokes laced in a 2-cross pattern — a build that favors stiffness and quick handling over outright compliance, since the rim's low-pressure capability is already doing the work of smoothing out the terrain. Braking is handled through a center-lock disc interface, and the wheel is rated to a 50 psi maximum tire pressure and a 298 lb\/135 kg system weight limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a wheel for the rider who treats gravel racing the way road racers treat a time trial — someone chasing every bit of rolling efficiency without sacrificing the control needed when a course turns to washboard or loose double-track. It rewards a rider who's already dialed in their tire pressure and setup, since the performance ceiling here is high but tied closely to running the approved tire options at the pressures the wheel was built around. Paired with a matching rear wheel, the 303 XPLR SW becomes a race-day wheelset rather than a general-purpose gravel upgrade — light enough to notice on climbs, wide enough to hold a line through loose corners at speed, and backed by Zipp's lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43783536443436,"sku":"00.1918.737.000","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-303-xplr-sw-wheel-front-7171396.jpg?v=1771294268"},{"product_id":"zipp-303-xplr-sw-wheel-rear","title":"Zipp 303 XPLR SW Wheel Rear","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eZipp 303 XPLR SW Wheel Rear\u003c\/strong\u003e is Zipp's answer to a problem most gravel wheels don't actually solve: rolling resistance and vibration from rough surfaces, not just weight or stiffness. Rather than adapting an existing road wheel for gravel duty, Zipp built the 303 XPLR SW around what it calls Total System Efficiency, applying that approach specifically to the demands of loose and broken terrain. The result is a carbon gravel wheel with a 54mm rim depth and a hookless bead, built wide enough to change how the tire behaves rather than just how the wheel looks on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat width shows up in a 32mm internal rim width and a 40mm maximum outside width, both well beyond what a repurposed road wheel typically offers. Zipp's case for going this wide is straightforward: a wider rim increases air volume inside the tire, which lets you run pressures under 30 psi without the tire squirming under cornering or braking loads. Lower pressure at speed on gravel means less vibration transmitted into your hands and body over a long ride, plus more contact patch for grip on loose surfaces and traction on climbs. The rim carries a symmetrical profile rather than an offset one, which keeps spoke tension balanced between the drive and non-drive sides of the wheel — a detail that matters more on a rear wheel carrying drivetrain load than it does up front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpinning at the center of this rear wheel is Zipp's ZR1 DB hub, engineered in Germany with a sealing design built for durability and 66 points of engagement for a quicker response when you put power down. The hub uses a center-locking rotor interface, with the lockring included, and cartridge bearings rather than a cup-and-cone setup. Driver body compatibility covers SRAM XDR and SRAM\/Shimano Road out of the box, with a Campagnolo N3W driver body available as a separate purchase for riders running Campagnolo drivetrains. The wheel ships on a 12mm thru axle and is disc brake only, which fits the modern gravel bike platforms this wheel is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tradeoff for that hookless, high-volume rim is a narrower tire compatibility window than most gravel wheels allow. The 303 XPLR SW is approved only for specific tubeless tires — the Goodyear XPLR Slick and Goodyear XPLR Inter — and Zipp doesn't recommend running other tire models on this rim. Max tire pressure tops out at 50 psi, and the wheel carries a maximum recommended system weight of 135 kg (298 lbs) covering rider, bike, and gear combined. It's a wheel that asks you to buy into Zipp's approved tire ecosystem in exchange for the aero and comfort gains that come from the rim and tire working as one integrated shape rather than two separate parts bolted together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZipp backs the 303 XPLR SW with a lifetime warranty against issues that come up while riding, which matters on a wheel built to take repeated hits from washboard roads and loose gravel.

The result is a carbon gravel wheelset with a 32mm internal rim width and 54mm rim depth—dimensions that look more like a road aero wheel than anything the gravel category has seen before. The \"SW\" stands for Super Wide, and that width is the whole argument: a wider rim changes how a tire sits, how it rolls, and how fast it moves through air when paired correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eThe Rim\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 303 XPLR SW's carbon rim measures 32mm internally and 40mm at its widest external point, with a 54mm depth. At that internal width, a gravel tire mounts and seats in a shape closer to what the tire manufacturer actually modeled: rounder, more compliant, and with a contact patch that responds predictably at lower pressures. Zipp designed the rim profile around the Goodyear Fitment Series—specifically the Goodyear XPLR SLICK and Goodyear XPLR INTER—and calls the approach Total System Efficiency, or TSE. The idea is that the aero relationship between rim and tire is only predictable when the two are designed together. Conventional wheels are profiled around an abstract tire cross-section; this wheel is profiled around two actual tires. The hookless bead seat is a consequence of that philosophy: tubeless-only construction allows the rim wall to be shaped for aerodynamic optimization rather than structural accommodation of a clincher hook. Maximum tire pressure is 50 psi. ABLC dimpling—Zipp's aerodynamic boundary layer control surface treatment borrowed from their road wheel lineup—covers the rim's outer surface to maintain airflow stability. Zipp's internal testing found 2-watt savings at average gravel race speeds of 29–36kph compared with a peer wheel, with the advantage growing to 10 watts or more at descending speeds above 53kph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eThe Hub\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe ZR1 disc hub is engineered in Germany and uses 66 points of engagement for a responsive, precise pickup under power. On technical gravel terrain where pedaling is intermittent—short punchy accelerations out of corners, quick re-engagement over rough sections—that engagement count translates to a hub that bites the moment you load the pedal. The rear hub ships with either an XDR or SRAM\/Shimano driver body; Microspline and Campagnolo N3W driver bodies are available separately. Both front and rear use Centerlock rotor mounts and 12mm thru-axle standards: 12x100mm front, 12x142mm rear. End caps are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eThe Tire Compatibility Question\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 303 XPLR SW is only approved for use with the Goodyear XPLR SLICK and Goodyear XPLR INTER tires. This is not a soft recommendation—it is the wheelset's design constraint, and using unapproved tires voids Zipp's warranty on the wheel. The logic goes back to the TSE concept: the rim profile, hookless bead geometry, and pressure range were engineered around those two tire casings. Running a different tire changes the aerodynamic relationship, the bead retention dynamics at low pressure, and the safety margin that Zipp's engineers were designing toward. Riders comfortable within that pairing—and both Goodyear XPLR tires are well-regarded for gravel racing performance—get the full system benefit. Riders who want the flexibility to mix and match tires should look at the Zipp 303 XPLR S, which has a narrower rim and broader tire approval list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAt 1,496 grams including valves and rim tape, the 303 XPLR SW is not a weight-focused gravel wheel. It's an efficiency-focused gravel wheel, which is a different priority. The combination of deep rim, wide internal profile, and TSE-matched tire produces a setup that rolls with less aerodynamic drag and lower rolling resistance than a conventional narrow gravel wheel—particularly at the speeds and tire pressures common in gravel racing. At $2,200, it competes at the upper end of carbon gravel wheel pricing. The rider it's built for has a specific goal: to go faster on gravel, within the constraints of a matched system. If that's the goal and the Goodyear XPLR tire pairing fits the terrain, the 303 XPLR SW makes a focused, well-engineered argument for how gravel performance can be approached differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"HG11 (Shimano \/ SRAM 11s)","offer_id":43783536640044,"sku":"00.1918.738.000-WS","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XDR Driver","offer_id":43783536672812,"sku":"00.1918.738.001-WS","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-303-xplr-sw-wheelset-6708047.jpg?v=1771294267"},{"product_id":"zipp-202-nsw-disc-brake-tubeless-rear-wheel","title":"Zipp 202 NSW Disc Brake Tubeless Rear Wheel","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eZipp 202 NSW Disc Brake Tubeless Rear Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e is built around one priority: getting up a climb faster.

When you stop pedaling, conventional hub pawls drag against the ratchet ring and bleed momentum. The Cognition hub uses magnets to keep the pawls retracted until power is applied, reducing that drag to near zero. On a flat or a slight descent, the difference is real — you carry speed further between efforts. It's a detail that matters more the faster you ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"design_benefits\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSawtooth Rim Profile for Crosswind Stability:\u003c\/strong\u003e The undulating Sawtooth shape along the rim's edge is designed to reduce the steering force generated by crosswinds — what engineers call yaw moment. On exposed courses or open roads, this translates to a wheel that tracks more predictably when the wind isn't head-on. You can hold your line with less correction and spend less energy managing the bike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHookless Tubeless Interface for Rolling Efficiency:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 858 NSW uses a hookless bead seat optimized for tubeless tire installation. Beyond the practical benefit of easier mounting, running tubeless at lower pressures reduces rolling resistance and absorbs road vibration — two of the four speed barriers Zipp's Total System Efficiency framework targets directly. With a 23mm internal width, the wheel is well-suited to 25mm and wider tires, which run more efficiently at lower pressures than narrower options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCognition V2 Hub for Momentum Retention:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional freehub mechanisms engage pawls against a ratchet ring continuously, creating drag whenever you're coasting. The Cognition V2 hub uses a magnetic contact system to retract the pawls until torque is applied, dramatically reducing this friction. On long descents, flat sections, and the back half of a triathlon bike leg, this adds up to measurably less speed lost between pedal strokes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e85mm Rim Depth for Maximum Aerodynamic Efficiency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deeper rims generate more aerodynamic advantage at higher speeds, and the 858 NSW's 85mm profile is designed to deliver that benefit at race pace. Disc brake construction allows Zipp to optimize the rim purely for aerodynamics and structure without the compromises required for a braking surface — the carbon layup and rim shape are built entirely around speed and stiffness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFinal Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 858 NSW is a wheel for riders who are serious about outright speed — triathletes, time trialists, and aggressive road cyclists who want the deepest aero advantage Zipp makes and are riding fast enough to use it. The Sawtooth profile and Cognition V2 hub address real limitations of conventional deep-section wheels, and the tubeless hookless setup keeps rolling resistance and compliance working in your favor. This is a focused tool for a specific kind of rider, and it does exactly what it was designed to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ HG11 (Shimano \/ SRAM 11s)","offer_id":44212565639212,"sku":"00.1918.698.000","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XDR Driver","offer_id":44212565671980,"sku":"00.1918.698.001","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-858-nsw-carbon-disc-brake-tubeless-rear-wheel-9600372.jpg?v=1771293615"},{"product_id":"zipp-303-sw-tubeless-disc-front-wheel","title":"Zipp 303 SW Tubeless Disc Front Wheel","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZipp 303 SW Tubeless Disc Front Wheel is a carbon road wheel built around a 40mm-deep, hookless rim, aimed at riders who want one wheel that handles smooth pavement, gravel, and cobbles without a setup change. It's sold individually as a 700c front wheel that pairs with the matching 303 SW rear, which makes it a straightforward way to upgrade one half of an existing wheelset, replace a damaged wheel, or complete a set already built around the SW hub and rim. At $1,050, it sits toward the top of Zipp's road and all-road lineup, and the build backs that up: a wide hookless rim, a reworked carbon layup, and a hub built on SRAM's ZR1 platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim is where most of the engineering shows up. Zipp brought the internal width to 25mm and the outer width to 33mm, with a symmetrical profile shaped around 30-35mm tubeless tires rather than the narrower rubber older road wheels were designed for. Zipp says the wider profile cuts rolling resistance and reduces rim deflection under load, which shows up as a steadier ride on rough pavement or gravel. Because the rim is hookless, tire choice is limited to ISO\/TSS-compatible tubeless tires in the 30-44c range, run with sealant or a compatible tube, but the payoff is a rounder tire shape at lower pressure, which pays off once the road turns rough. Zipp also revised the carbon layup for this generation; the company says it improves impact strength by roughly 10 percent over the previous 303 rim, paired with a refined rim shape meant to resist pinch flats on hard hits from cobbles or a rutted gravel line. That combination is what lets this tubeless wheel move between a road race and a gravel event without a second set of hoops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty CX-Sprint bladed spokes, laced in a 2-cross pattern, tie the rim to Zipp's ZR1 disc hub. The ZR1 runs on custom stainless steel 61903 cartridge bearings for smooth, low-drag rotation and long service life between overhauls, and it's built for Center Lock rotors, with a lockring included so there's no separate adapter to track down. Zipp lists the lightest build of the full 303 SW wheelset, front and rear together, with 12mm thru-axles and an XDR driver body, at 1,440 grams; this front wheel accounts for roughly half that total rather than carrying its own published figure. Paired with the matching rear wheel, the set is rated to a 286 lb \/ 130 kg system weight and a maximum tire pressure of 73 psi, numbers that follow from the hookless rim's lower-pressure design rather than limit it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates the 303 SW from a standard carbon disc wheel is the integrated Zipp AXS Wheel Sensor, built into the rim itself instead of clipped onto the valve stem. It reports tire pressure in real time to the SRAM AXS app, so pressure can be checked from a phone or a compatible head unit without a separate gauge or an aftermarket clip-on sensor. That matters more on long gravel days or cyclocross racing, where temperature swings and terrain changes push pressure around more than they do on a smooth road ride. For riders already running AXS shifting or a SRAM power meter, it's one more data stream living in an app they already open rather than a new one to install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eZipp built the 303 SW for road, gravel, cobbles, and cyclocross riding, and the wheel's spec sheet supports that range: a wide, impact-resistant rim, a hub sealed for wet and gritty conditions, and pressure monitoring that earns its keep the rougher the terrain gets. For a rider stepping up from an alloy or non-hookless wheel, the combination of lower rotating weight, a wider tire base, and built-in pressure monitoring is a meaningful jump on the road or off it, not just a cosmetic upgrade. It's a front wheel for someone who wants a single carbon wheel that stays composed once the pavement ends, whether that means a mixed-surface century, a local cyclocross series, or a gravel race with a few miles of tarmac on either end. Zipp backs it with a lifetime warranty, which matters on a wheel meant to take hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379152875564,"sku":"00.1918.733.000","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-303-sw-tubeless-disc-front-wheel-7585379.jpg?v=1771293437"},{"product_id":"zipp-353-nsw-tubeless-disc-front-wheel-1","title":"Zipp 353 NSW Tubeless Disc Front Wheel","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eZipp 353 NSW Tubeless Disc Front Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e is Zipp's most technically advanced road wheel — and the first wheel to integrate SRAM AXS connectivity directly into the rim. The Zipp AXS Wheel Sensor is mounted inside the rim itself, not clamped to the valve stem, enabling accurate in-wheel tire pressure monitoring without any external device adding aerodynamic disruption. Before a ride, pull up the SRAM AXS app: a green indicator confirms pressure is in range. During the ride, monitor pressure in real time — catch slow leaks early, track how pressure builds across long descents, and use actual ride data to refine your target pressure over time. For riders already in the SRAM AXS ecosystem, the 353 NSW transforms the front wheel from a passive rolling component into an active sensor in the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe rim is where the 353 NSW does its most distinctive engineering work. The Sawtooth profile is an undulating rim shape — depth transitions between 35mm and 40mm as the rim circles the wheel rather than maintaining a single fixed depth. Hyperfoil nodes at the deepest sections generate concentrated aerodynamic benefit, while the variable-depth geometry manages crosswind forces that a flat-sided fixed-depth rim would transmit directly as instability. HexFin ABLC (Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control) dimples on the rim surface work alongside the Sawtooth profile to keep airflow attached across a wider range of yaw angles — which is what makes this wheel useful in the real conditions road riding happens in, not just in controlled test environments. A revised carbon layup gives this generation of the 353 NSW more than 16% higher rim impact strength than the previous version, a structural gain that matters on a wheel optimized for minimum weight. The rim finish is UD fiber with Zipp's Impress technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eZipp's Total System Efficiency (TSE) approach designs rim and tire as a single aerodynamic and mechanical unit. The hookless rim profile works with that principle: a more rounded bead bed allows the tire to form a favorable aerodynamic cross-section and reduces turbulence at the tire-rim junction. The 25mm internal width and 30mm external width are sized specifically around 30mm tires, which Zipp identifies as the optimal match for aerodynamic drag, rolling resistance, and compliance on this rim. Tire compatibility covers ISO\/TSS-certified tubeless tires in the 29-35mm range, with a maximum pressure of 73psi. One firm limitation: the 353 NSW is approved for road riding only. Zipp does not clear this wheel for gravel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe ZR1 SL hub runs custom hybrid ceramic bearings — purpose-built for this application — delivering lower rolling friction and a longer service life than standard steel bearings. The engagement system provides 66 simultaneous contact points, giving immediate, positive drive with no detectable lag between pedal input and forward motion. The ZR1 SL hubset is 30g lighter than the predecessor hub used in previous NSW wheels. Up front, the 353 NSW uses 20 spokes laced to the ZR1 SL with a Centerlock disc rotor interface; the lockring is included. The wheel is built for 12×100mm thru-axles and ships in configurations for SRAM XDR or SRAM\/Shimano road driver bodies. The full wheel carries a Lifetime Warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 353 NSW front wheel is built for the road racer and endurance rider who wants the most complete, aero-optimized, and connected front wheel in Zipp's lineup. The AXS Wheel Sensor integration is what separates this generation from any other high-performance carbon front wheel — and it delivers its full value inside the SRAM AXS ecosystem. For riders committed to that system, the 353 NSW closes the last gap in connected, real-time ride data and does it on a rim that is the culmination of Zipp's aerodynamic and structural development in road wheel design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379152908332,"sku":"00.1918.751.000","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-353-nsw-tubeless-disc-front-wheel-5538566.jpg?v=1771293437"},{"product_id":"zipp-858-nsw-tubeless-disc-front-wheel","title":"Zipp 858 NSW Tubeless Disc Front Wheel","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eZipp 858 NSW Tubeless Disc Front Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e is what you reach for when speed is the only variable that matters. Designed for triathletes, time trial specialists, and road racers targeting maximum flat-course velocity, the 858 NSW is Zipp's deepest road disc wheel — a 700c carbon hookless rim with an undulating Sawtooth profile that spans 82mm to 85mm at its peaks. This listing is the front wheel only at $1,900; most riders pair it with an 858 NSW rear or a Super-9 disc to complete the aero setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSawtooth Rim and the TSE System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 858 NSW is built around Zipp's patented Sawtooth rim profile and Total System Efficiency (TSE) framework — an engineering approach that treats the wheel as a system, targeting four barriers to speed simultaneously: wind resistance, rolling resistance, gravity, and vibration losses. The Sawtooth profile accomplishes something most deep-section wheels can't: it reduces aerodynamic drag and crosswind side force at the same time. Zipp calls this AeroBalance. It works through Hyperfoil nodes — patented fin-shaped structures along the inner rim diameter — paired with HexFin ABLC dimples at each node. These hexagonal depressions increase boundary layer mixing, keeping airflow attached to the rim at higher yaw angles. The result is a wheel that tracks predictably in crosswinds rather than fighting you for the line, even at 82–85mm depth. The Sawtooth geometry produces higher-frequency vortex shedding — smaller, more manageable vortices — a meaningful difference on an exposed course or when gusts arrive mid-effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHookless Carbon and the Tubeless Advantage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 858 NSW uses a hookless carbon rim with a 23mm internal width and 27mm external width, optimized for tires in the 28–32mm range. Hookless construction enables a more integrated tire-rim interface for reduced weight and improved sealing, and Zipp's TSE engineering produces a rim that delivers deep-section performance at weights typically associated with wheels 20mm shallower. For triathlon and TT, running wider tubeless tires at lower pressure reduces rolling resistance on chip-sealed roads while dampening vibration — preserving energy you need for the run after. Maximum recommended tire pressure is 73psi, and the rim accepts ISO\/TSS tubeless tires or tubeless-ready tires with tubes for riders who prefer that setup. The rim is also compatible with SRAM's Wheel Sensor for in-wheel tire pressure monitoring. ImPress graphics are applied by printing directly onto the rim surface rather than using adhesive decals, keeping the dimpled Hyperfoil profile uninterrupted and working as designed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eZR1 SL Hub and Build Spec\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 858 NSW is built on Zipp's ZR1 SL hub with custom hybrid ceramic bearings — the same premium hub platform across the NSW lineup. Sixty-six points of engagement deliver immediate power pickup, and the hub ships with a 12×100mm thru-axle front end cap. Disc braking uses a Centerlock interface with the lockring included. The front wheel weighs approximately 716g — reasonable for a carbon disc rim at this depth — and Zipp backs the 858 NSW with a lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Wheel Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 858 NSW front wheel is purpose-built for courses where velocity is the priority and crosswinds are a manageable variable rather than a defining feature of the day. Triathletes racing long flat courses and TT specialists building race-day wheel sets are its natural home. Road racers who spend extended time in breakaways or high-speed criterium fields will find it effective. Riders racing in reliably gusty conditions or on mixed terrain may want to weigh the 353 NSW's 35–40mm Sawtooth profile as an alternative — the shallower rim is faster in anything beyond a moderate crosswind. The 858 NSW front stands as the starting point for the fastest aero setup Zipp makes for road and triathlon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379152973868,"sku":"00.1918.772.000","price":1900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-858-nsw-tubeless-disc-front-wheel-8339331.jpg?v=1771293436"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/collections\/zipp-618179.jpg?v=1746215691","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/collections\/zipp-wheels.oembed","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
