Zipp?s 858 NSW ultimate aero weapon, is fast in the wind. The undulating rim shape, our proprietary Sawtooth? profile, takes design cues from nature for our highest performing rim when it comes to aero efficiency and crosswind stability. These structures inspired Zipp advanced development engineers to, for the first time, systematically apply biomimicry to solve the complex challenge of designing a rim, with the undulating Hyperfoil nodes, that reduces both aerodynamic drag and side force. Simply put, the 858 NSW rim is ideal for those focused on triathlon, time trials, or aggressive road riding.
- ABLC Sawtooth dimple design helps manage air flow around the rim, and contributes to create a faster, more stable wheel
- Zipp graphics that scream speed, applied using Zipp?s ImPress direct-print technology to help allow the dimples to do what they were designed to do ? improve aero performance
