New: Zipp 353 NSW Tubeless Disc Wheels

This new wheelset is the result of the brand's research into the desired qualities of versatility and speed. This wheelset merges Zipp's two most advanced approaches, the so-called "sawtooth" rim profile and Total System Efficiency technology.

With its 45mm deep rim shape, the 353 NSW aims for speed through the pursuit of the best aerodynamics and crosswind stability.

To date, the 353 NSW is Zipp's lightest tubeless wheelset.

Zipp's use of hookless (right side) rims in the 353 NSW is an integral part of the build. Without hooks, the transition between tire and rim is smoother and more aerodynamic.

The 353 NSW utilizes Zipp’s Total System Efficiency (TSE) approach to wheel design that aims to combat speed-specific challenges: wind resistance, gravity, and rolling resistance. The wheelset’s 25mm internal width was chosen to accommodate wider tubeless tires to increase traction, a key parameter with discs. At the center of the 353 NSW is the redesigned Cognition V2 hub with an updated mechanism for faster engagement and reduced friction as well as improved durability.
