ZIPP 202 NSW A1 Tubeless Ready Wheelset (Center Lock)

The wheelset ZIPP 202 NSW A1 represents the pinnacle of Zipp's expertise for cyclists seeking the best compromise between lightweight, power transfer and mountain performance. Developed as the lightest wheel ever produced by the brand, it targets demanding climbers looking to optimise every watt on long ascents while maintaining reassuring handling on technical descents.

Its design is based on the exclusive Biomimetic Laminate process, which combines several types of carbon fibre with different moduli according to the mechanical stresses of each area of the rim. This architecture achieves high stiffness around the spoke beds while reinforcing impact resistance at the tyre bed. This innovative approach delivers excellent responsiveness during accelerations and great durability despite an extremely low weight.

The wheel is equipped with the premium ZR1 SL hub with German engineering. Its 66-point engagement mechanism ensures fast and smooth power pickup, particularly appreciated during accelerations out of corners or changes of pace on climbs. The hybrid ceramic bearings with high corrosion resistance help reduce friction and preserve performance over the long term.

The Alpina Hyperlite spokes were selected for their excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. Their combination with the 35 mm carbon rim keeps the wheel dynamic and precise without compromising stability. This rim depth also provides a noticeable aerodynamic advantage on fast sections and the valleys leading up to the cols.

The Hookless TSS construction with a 23 mm internal width is optimised for modern tyres from 28 to 32 mm. This configuration allows riding at lower pressures to improve comfort, traction and overall efficiency. Thanks to its minimal weight, controlled stiffness and remarkable mechanical efficiency, the ZIPP 202 NSW A1 establishes itself as a reference choice for climbing-oriented competitors and performance enthusiasts who refuse to compromise.
