ZIPP 202 NSW A1 Tubeless Ready Rear Wheel (Center Lock)

The rear wheel ZIPP 202 NSW A1 represents the pinnacle of Zipp's expertise for cyclists seeking the best balance between lightness, power transfer and mountain performance. Developed as the lightest wheel ever produced by the brand, it targets demanding climbers looking to optimise every watt on long ascents while maintaining reassuring behaviour on technical descents.

Its design is built around the exclusive Biomimetic Laminate process, which combines several types of carbon fibre with different moduli according to the mechanical stresses in each zone of the rim. This architecture achieves high stiffness around the spoke heads while reinforcing impact resistance at the tyre bed. This innovative approach delivers excellent reactivity during accelerations and great robustness despite an extremely low weight.

The rear wheel is equipped with the premium ZR1 SL hub of German design. Its 66-point engagement mechanism guarantees fast and smooth power pick-up, particularly appreciated when surging out of corners or changing pace on a climb. The high 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. Their combination with the 35 mm carbon rim keeps the rear wheel dynamic and precise without compromising stability. This rim depth also provides a welcome aerodynamic advantage on fast sections and valleys leading up to mountain passes.

The Hookless TSS construction with a 23 mm internal width is optimised for modern tyres from 28 to 32 mm. This setup allows riding at lower pressures to improve comfort, traction and overall efficiency. Thanks to its minimal weight, controlled stiffness and remarkable mechanical efficiency, the ZIPP 202 NSW A1 rear wheel establishes itself as a reference choice for mountain-oriented competitors and enthusiasts seeking uncompromising performance.
