pcwt: Zipp 454 NSW: re-inventing the wheel Four years, half a dozen trademarks and some humpback whales come together to produce what the American firm Zipp claim is the future of road bike wheels. You don’t need to spend long looking at the new Zipp 454 NSW to realise what the brains in Indianapolis have spent their time working on to develop the company’s latest wheelset. Called ‘HyperFoils’ (the first of many trademarked names associated with these wheels), the brains at Zipp say that this unique saw-tooth profile increases stability under crosswinds, allowing riders to run a deeper rim without the risk of losing good handling. -- source link
