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.

The Hyperon Ultra is Campagnolo’s first rim to be manufactured with one join, compared to the industry standard of four. The wheelset is available in both tubeless and tubular versions, with prices starting at £3,150.
