2023 NS50 Rim Brake (NEW)
THE ALL ROUNDER
The trusty all-rounder -our most versatile option, provides the best mix of technical performance benefits still at a very attractive price point. More aero than a 38mm option with only a small weight increase. Often selected by riders who search for maximum versatility. They are great for varied riding styles, at speed, over varied distances, and inclines. The NS50 x NS50 is our classic setup. Maximum performance to weight ratio, also an absolute look.
Every component in the NS-Road line design has been carefully evaluated on its ability to absorb impact and vibration, minimise overall weight and deliver great gains in aero efficiency. As a result, responsive-stiff-lightweight wheels are now accessible to all of us. We challenged status quo and did the unthinkable: increasing both performance and affordability.
WHY?
// Excellent cross wind performance
// Aerodynamic boost, free speed for the du/triathletes and road racers
// Reduced vibration, increased impact absorption, more stable, better control
// Lightweight, same effort takes you further
// Faster acceleration and ability to hold top speed longer.
