After Zipp’s 'Nest' skunk works churned out the Zipp 808 NSW wheelset that was ridden to world championships at Ironman and the UCI women’s team time trial, the 808's technology is now coming to the 58mm Zipp 404.
The Nest operation inside Zipp’s Indianapolis facility in Indiana, USA, is capable of making everything from rapid prototypes to full ride-ready wheelsets. The NSW designation stands for Nest Speed Works.
While the 808 is very much a specialist wheelset for TT and tri duties, the 404 is more of road racing wheel. The new NSW variant offers plenty of compelling reasons to consider it over the groundbreaking Firecrest, and the Firecrest-on-steroids that is the limited edition Firestrike.
