Zipp’s 353 NSW Tubeless Disc brake is the pinnacle wheelset for today’s endurance rider and road racer. Zipp’s most advanced wheelset in every performance area, the 353 NSW also is Zipp’s first SRAM AXS-connected wheelset. Designed for racers, it’s a lightweight climber’s wheel that comes with ceramic bearings and Zipp’s 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 tire-pressure monitoring. It allows you to monitor and analyze tire pressure in real-time without an external device mounted to the valve stem. Fine-tuning tire 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 Zipp’s 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 tires, with great options available from Goodyear Fitment Series for Zipp tires made exclusively for Zipp. The 353 NSW is not approved for gravel riding.
