Zipp 202 NSW wheels return with practical 35mm depth and wind-stable performance
Zipp has revived the 202 NSW wheelset, delivering a light 1090g pair with a 35mm-deep, 23mm-wide hookless rim, 20 steel spokes per wheel, and a high-engagement ZR1 SL hub. In real-world riding they lean toward practical speed over extreme aero, offering excellent side‑wind stability and a responsive feel, while demanding regular maintenance and careful tyre/rim matching due to the hookless design. The wheels excel in everyday performance and stability, making them a compelling lightweight option even if they aren’t the deepest aero choice.
