The Zipp 202 NSW is an ultra-light road wheel designed for riders who prioritize climbing speed without giving up confident descending performance. Built around a 35mm rim depth, 23mm internal width, and Zipp’s advanced carbon rim construction, the 202 NSW is made to help riders move efficiently up steep grades while still carrying aerodynamic benefit on the way back down.
This wheel uses a hookless tubeless straight-side rim profile and is designed for ISO/TSS compatible tubeless tires in 28-32c widths. The 202 NSW also features Zipp’s ZR1 SL hub, lightweight Alpina Hyperlite spokes, ceramic bearings, and a 20-spoke, 2-cross build.
