Designed with climbers in mind, the 35mm deep carbon rim brings aero advantage on the approach and confidence on the descent. Get the full press release here:
Rise above on the all-new Zipp 202 NSW
The Zipp 202 NSW is crafted with the climbing specialist in mind – bringing weightless speed to the steepest of grades, empowering riders to reach the summit faster on our lightest wheelset ever. However, the 202 NSW does more than climb fast; it provides aero advantage for the race to the climb and is designed for confidence on the getaway descent.
Building on the carbon layup found in the state-of-the-art 353 NSW, the 202 NSW features our Biomimetic Laminate which utilizes mixed-modulus carbon types to maximize stiffness at the spoke bed and toughness at the tire bed, mimicking the function of a muscle tendon. The carbon fibers selected for the outer diameter of the rim prioritize strength and durability to withstand impacts from the road, while the inner diameter of the rim uses higher modulus fibers to maintain consistent spoke tension under dynamic riding loads.
The result is a rim design that allows for a sub-1100-gram wheelset that reacts to your every input without sacrificing durability and the aerodynamic advantage of its 35mm rim depth on the descent.

This TSS wheel utilizes a 23mm inner rim width, allowing for wider tires and lower pressures that minimize rolling resistance and vibration losses to save watts en route to the summit so you can descend with speed and control.
The 202 NSW is expertly laced to our German-engineered ZR1 SL hubset with lightweight Alpina Hyperlite spokes in a 20-hole 2-cross configuration. The ZR1 SL features ultra-corrosion resistant GRW ceramic bearings and 66 points of efficient engagement, ensuring every watt is transferred smoothly to the road as you rise to the challenges ahead.
While built with the high peaks in mind, the 202 NSW is a welcome upgrade to any lightweight road build where every gram matters, distilling decades of advanced design into an ultra-light wheel that is ultra-focused on making you faster.
