New Zipp 454 NSW vs Princeton Carbonworks Peak 4550

If you like 25mm tires and higher psi, Princeton Peak would be better for you.

If you prefer 28mm tires and lower psi, 454 NSW would be better.

If value is a concern, enve ses 4.5 ar would be better than 454 nsw, although 200g heavier and 2mm wider internal rim. Also consider if you prefer the normal vs the wavy rim profile.

That said, I wonder when will enve introduce new generation of rims. Seems like the 4.5ar was launched 5 years ago.
