The photo is 2021, probably wrong info on the clincher.
Will there be also a new 2021/22 454NSW?
Because they have gotten quite heavy (or the website is wrong)? They are heavier than the 858s
A new hub isn't going to sell more wheelsets, neither is hookless. Only reason hookless is succesful so far for Zipp is because they were able to seriously reduce the pricing on the 303S (a set cost €760 over here but was sold out soon).
NSW buyers are interested in top end performance and I can't really figure what they can improve at the moment. A new Cognition hub would mean the old ones are bad? Going hookless only doesn't seem an option to me, and the shark fins are too new/cool to abandon, which leaves slightly increasing the rim width that isn't going to pull in more customers either.
Reducing weight might, which hookless can help achieve whilst automatically increasing width and (production) cost... so I might be wrong here. They're innit for the $$$.
