Making You Fast
Top road pros demanded Zipp offer the revolutionary Zipp 454 NSW as a Tubular, so this has been made just for them. and you benefit! The 454 NSW's undulating 53/58mm-deep rim shape, Zipp's proprietary SawtoothT profile, takes design cues from nature for Zipp's highest performing wheel when it comes to aerodynamic efficiency and crosswind stability.
Biomimicry!
Zipp engineers studied the environment around them for instances of how nature achieved speed, control, and efficiency. For instance, a humpback whale's fast and graceful movements are attributed to the tubercles on its pectoral fins. Zipp's enhanced engineering has systematically applied biomimicry to solve the complex challenge of designing a wheel, with the undulating HyperfoilT nodes, that reduce both aerodynamic drag and side force. You are set for the ultimate in Zipp performance.
Reduce Drag, CognitionT Hubset (Rear Wheel)
Zipp's Cognition disc-brake Cognition hubset's Axial Clutch technology has reduced drag in the rear wheel by disengaging the ratchet mechanism in the freehub when coasting. Every time a conventional hubset starts to coast, friction within the freehub ratchet mechanism slows the rider down. Zipp's testing shows that the best traditional three-pawl hub designs have twice the rotating friction as the Zipp Axial Clutch equipped Cognition rear hub. (the most popular hubsets using a similar drive mechanism as Axial Clutch were found to produce four times the rotating friction)
ImPressT
Using Zipp's ImPressT graphics technology, printing graphics directly to the wheel, allows the dimples to do what they were design to do - help control vortex shedding (the rate at which air sheds off the wheel). Managing this is crucial to stability. ImPressT graphics also give Zipp NSW wheels a distinctive stealthy look.
Aerodynamics and Stability: ABLCT SawToothT
ABLCT SawToothT dimple design helps manage airflow around the rim and contributes to a faster more stable wheel. You can take our word for it, or you can read this. Zipp's new Sawtooth dimple design consists of 12 nodes that are specifically clocked to start aerodynamic shearing at a rate of 50hz at a rider speed of 32km/hr. Sawtooth accomplishes this by inducing small sheet vortices that shed at a low magnitude, but at a higher natural frequency, thus decreasing the laminar bubble effect on the aerodynamically shielded side of the rim's profile to further reduce high yaw drag and improve crosswind stability. The result is a faster more capable wheel able to handle anything thrown at it.

ZIPP WARRANTY OVERVIEW
When you buy new Zipp wheels and components, you're now backed by a lifetime warranty for sales globally. This includes manufacturing defects, of course, but also for damage for intended use while riding.
The warranty is for Model Year 2021 Zipp wheels, handlebars, stems, and seatposts. It only applies to the original owner and is not transferable. Model Year 2021 and later components can be identified by the new Zipp logo. The lifetime warranty is for non-electronic products, so with the Vuka Shift AXS 90, the warranty covers the carbon extensions but not the electronics, which have a two-year warranty.
"The goal here is to make sure that as either a new or returning customer, you're getting better peace of mind with any incidents that might happen while you're riding your bike," SRAM Director of Dealer Service Mark Van Gemert said. "Any riding incident is covered under the warranty policy on the 2021 product."
Specifically for gravel riding, the lifetime warranty applies to 202 and 303 wheel models.
An authorized dealer must process warranty claims. Take your Zipp product and original proof of purchase to the dealer where it was purchased to start the process. To expedite service interactions, we recommend registering your wheelset at zipp.com/reg. Registration, however, is not necessary to use the warranty policy.
Important: Proof of purchase is required with or without product registration.
