The Zipp 353 NSW Tubeless Disc wheelset is the most advanced road wheel in Zipp’s lineup, engineered for elite climbers, endurance athletes, and performance-driven road racers. At the heart of its design is the undulating 35/40mm deep Sawtooth rim profile, which integrates Hyperfoil nodes and HexFin ABLC dimples to minimize drag and maximize stability in crosswinds. This unique rim shape delivers aerodynamic efficiency across varying yaw angles while maintaining exceptionally low weight, making the 353 NSW a standout performer on climbs, descents, and fast flats. Optimized around a 30mm tire, it pairs ideally with Goodyear’s Zipp-specific Fitment Series, enhancing both speed and ride feel for modern road setups.

A defining innovation of the 353 NSW is its seamless integration with the Zipp AXS Wheel Sensor, providing real-time tire pressure monitoring directly from the rim. No valve-mounted sensor is required—just check for the green-light indicator pre-ride to confirm optimal pressure, then monitor performance during the ride through Hammerhead Karoo connectivity or AXS-compatible devices. This intelligent system enables precise pressure tuning, improving efficiency, comfort, and control. Post-ride analysis also helps riders better understand tire behavior under changing conditions, ensuring optimal setup for every terrain profile.

At the core of the wheelset lies the ZR1 SL hubset, a lightweight upgrade over previous NSW designs that saves 30 grams while boosting responsiveness. It features silky-smooth ceramic cartridge bearings and 66 points of engagement for rapid power transfer and exceptional ride quality. Designed exclusively for road use, the 353 NSW is not gravel-approved but excels where it counts—on steep climbs, flowing descents, and long miles of tarmac. This refined hub design completes a wheelset purpose-built for speed and durability under demanding road conditions.

Technically advanced yet rider-focused, the 353 NSW brings together a 25mm internal hookless rim, CX-Ray spokes, and aluminum nipples in a symmetrical 700c configuration with Center Lock disc brake compatibility. The full system weighs just 1310g in its lightest setup and supports up to a 250lb rider and gear load. Available with SRAM XDR, Shimano/SRAM Road, and optional Campagnolo driver bodies, the 353 NSW is backed by a lifetime warranty and Zipp’s commitment to innovation. Model ID: WH-353-NSW-B1.
