Zipp | 202 NSW Carbon Tubeless Disc Wheelset | Hookless / Center Lock

Built to disappear beneath you when the road points upward.

The Zipp 202 NSW is an ultralight carbon road wheelset created for climbing specialists who want immediate acceleration without sacrificing aerodynamic efficiency or descending confidence.

Its Biomimetic Laminate uses mixed-modulus carbon throughout the rim, placing tougher fibers around the tire bed to withstand road impacts and higher-modulus fibers around the spoke bed to maintain consistent spoke tension under load. This construction helps bring the complete wheelset down to 1,090g while retaining the strength, responsiveness, and aerodynamic benefit of a 35mm rim depth.

Important Compatibility Note

These wheels use a hookless Tubeless Straight Side rim and must be paired with ISO/TSS-compatible tubeless tires measuring 28mm to 32mm. Compatible tubeless tires may be installed with sealant or inner tubes.

Do not exceed the maximum tire pressure of 73 PSI / 5.0 bar.

Designed for disc-brake road bikes using Center Lock rotors, a 12 x 100mm front axle, and a 12 x 142mm rear axle.

Available with either an HG11 or SRAM XDR rear driver body. Select the correct version for your intended cassette.
