The Pinnacle

The Zipp 353 NSW Carbon Disc Brake Rear Wheel is part of the pinnacle wheelset for todays endurance rider and road racer. Zipps most advanced wheelset in every performance area, the 353 NSW also is Zipps first SRAM AXS-connected wheelset. Designed for racers, its a lightweight climbers wheel that comes with ceramic bearings and Zipps most advanced rim technology for impressive durability and aero performance.

The 353 NSW rim seamlessly integrates the Zipp AXS Wheel Sensor for accurate on-bike tyre-pressure monitoring. It allows you to monitor and analyse tyre pressure in real-time without an external device mounted to the valve stem. Fine-tuning tyre pressure helps riders optimize speed and performance in an ever-changing riding environment. Before you ride, check your pressure immediately; green light means good to go. During the ride, monitor pressure to dial in your ideal setting and detect issues early.

Strong just got stronger for Zipps lightest wheelset. A revised carbon layup and design infused the already strong 353 NSW with a more than 16 percent higher rim impact strength. With its undulating 35/40mm deep rim shape, the 353 NSW provides speed on the valley road, the mountain climb, and the descent with excellent rolling resistance, crosswind stability, and feather-light weight. The 353 NSW features the premium ZR1 SL hubset with ceramic bearings and 66 points of engagement smooth rolling. The hubset also is 30 g lighter than the predecessor hub in NSW wheels. The 353 NSW is optimized for 30mm tyres, with great options available from Goodyear Fitment Series for Zipp tyres made exclusively for Zipp. The 353 NSW is not approved for gravel riding.
