ZIPP 202 NSW A1 Tubeless Ready Wheelset (Center Lock)

The wheelset ZIPP 202 NSW A1 represents the culmination of Zipp's expertise for cyclists seeking the best balance of lightness, power transfer and mountain performance. Developed as the lightest wheel ever produced by the brand, it is aimed at demanding climbers looking to optimise every watt on long ascents while retaining 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 provides high stiffness around the spoke heads while reinforcing impact resistance at the tyre bed. This innovative approach delivers excellent responsiveness during acceleration and great robustness despite an extremely low weight.

The wheel is equipped with the high-end, German-designed ZR1 SL hub. Its 66-point engagement mechanism ensures fast, smooth power pickup, particularly appreciated when accelerating out of corners or changing pace on climbs. The corrosion-resistant hybrid ceramic bearings help reduce friction and preserve performance over the long term.

The Alpina Hyperlite spokes were selected for their excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. Combined with the 35 mm carbon rim, they keep the wheel dynamic and precise without compromising stability. This rim depth also provides a valuable aerodynamic advantage on fast sections and in valleys leading to mountain passes.

The Hookless TSS construction with a 23 mm internal width is optimised for modern 28 to 32 mm tyres. This configuration allows lower pressures to be used to improve comfort, traction and overall efficiency. Thanks to its minimal weight, controlled stiffness and remarkable mechanical efficiency, the ZIPP 202 NSW A1 stands out as a benchmark choice for mountain-focused racers and performance enthusiasts who accept no compromises.
