The 858 NSW tubeless disc brake wheels feature Zipp’s Total System Efficiency technology, which uses tubeless and hookless rim profile to reduce the weight.

It also features Zipp’s patented Sawtooth profile, designed for aerodynamic efficiency and crosswind stability.

The 858 NSW features Zipp’s Carbon Internal Reinforcement, which creates a rim that is 10% lighter and just as strong as previous wheels

While this wheelset is optimised for tubeless tires, you still have the option to run tubeless ready tires with tubes.

At the centre of the 858 NSW is the Cognition V2 Hubset engineered with the Axial Clutch V2 mechanism for quicker engagement and lower friction as well as improved durability.
