Its \u003cstrong\u003eSawtooth rim varies in depth between 53mm and 58mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, and Zipp says it is its most aerodynamic and stable wheel. Instead of a constant-depth profile, the rim has Hyperfoil nodes and a HexFin ABLC dimple pattern. Both are meant to cut drag and keep the front end steady in crosswinds. For a front wheel that matters most, because crosswind stability affects steering. This wheel is built for road racing, fast group rides, and aero-focused road bikes where both speed and handling count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe rim is \u003cstrong\u003ehookless (Tubeless Straight Side)\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a \u003cstrong\u003e23mm internal width\u003c\/strong\u003e and a 28mm maximum outside width. It works with ISO\/TSS-compatible tubeless tires from 28c to 35c, run with sealant or a tube. \u003cstrong\u003eZipp recommends a 28mm tire\u003c\/strong\u003e for the best mix of aerodynamics and rolling resistance. The wheel is part of Zipp's Total System Efficiency approach, which uses wider rims and lower tire pressures to cut rolling resistance and vibration losses. It rolls on the \u003cstrong\u003eZR1 SL hub with hybrid ceramic bearings\u003c\/strong\u003e, and that hub is 30 g lighter than the one in earlier NSW wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad racers and fast group riders who want a deep, wind-stable carbon front wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders on disc-brake road bikes with \u003cstrong\u003eCenter Lock\u003c\/strong\u003e rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders upgrading or replacing just the front wheel (\u003cstrong\u003ethis is sold as a front wheel only\u003c\/strong\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders who run or plan to switch to \u003cstrong\u003etubeless tires 28c or wider\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot ideal for riders who need hooked rims for their current tires, riders who prefer tires narrower than 28c, or anyone above the 115 kg system weight limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTire compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hookless rims need ISO\/TSS-approved tubeless tires, and \u003cstrong\u003emax pressure is 73 psi (5.0 bar)\u003c\/strong\u003e.

That changes how air moves across the rim compared with a constant-depth profile. Zipp designed the shape for aero efficiency and crosswind stability. On a front wheel, that stability is what lets a rider use a deep rim without fighting the bars on gusty days. The \u003cstrong\u003eHexFin ABLC dimple pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e adds to the same aero goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHookless tubeless construction.\u003c\/strong\u003e Without hooks, the tire sits flush with the rim wall, so the transition between tire and rim is smoother and more aero. Zipp says hookless rims also spread resin more efficiently, which makes them lighter and stronger. The \u003cstrong\u003esymmetrical rim profile\u003c\/strong\u003e suits a front wheel, where both sides are laced the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZR1 SL hub.\u003c\/strong\u003e The front hub uses \u003cstrong\u003ecustom hybrid ceramic 61803 bearings\u003c\/strong\u003e and has a \u003cstrong\u003eCenter Lock rotor interface, with the lockring included\u003c\/strong\u003e.
