Zipp 303 NSW?
Moderator: robbosmans
Any word on a Zipp 303 NSW? I know the 808 & 404 NSW have been released, so it makes sense for Zipp to update the 303 as well. I'm sure they will reduce the overall weight from the 1625g 303 firecrest. The new 404 NSW is significantly lighter than the 404 firecrest/firestrike, so I suspect the 303 NSW will be lighter as well.
Probably next year. 808 last year, 404 this year, 303 next year.
Since you mention weight... anyone notice how the 2016 firecrests seem to have been "downgraded"? Updated hubs yes, but heavier spokes. maybe creating differentiation with the NSW rollout.

I saw my first set of 303NSW's on a new build this past weekend, new hubs and all (seemed a lil quieter than the standard hub).
Very nice! Brake track is very interesting too. Kinda makes me regret my venture into enve 2.2 ses clinchers w/ new brake track that drive me crazy rubbing..
LBS claimed weight was right @ targeted weight, putting them 25 grams under the current generation of 202 clinchers.
