Zipp 353 Nsw wheels set 2026

Speed of light

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.

Advanced design
A refined carbon layup and design elevate the already robust 353 NSW, improving rim impact strength by more than 16 percent. The undulating 35/40mm deep Sawtooth rim profile offers crosswind stability across valley roads, mountain climbs, and thrilling descents. Optimized for 30mm tires, the 353 NSW also pairs perfectly with the Goodyear Fitment Series for Zipp tires.

ZR1 SL
At the center of the 353 NSW lies the all-new ZR1 SL hubset, featuring ceramic bearings and an impressive 66 points of engagement for smooth rolling performance. This hubset is 30 grams lighter than its predecessor, further enhancing the 353 NSW’s agility and responsiveness.

AXS connectivity
The 353 NSW’s rim incorporates the Zipp AXS Wheel Sensor, a revolutionary feature that enables real-time tire pressure monitoring and post-ride analysis. This innovation empowers riders to tune tire pressure with precision, optimizing speed and performance in variable riding conditions.
Before your ride, a quick check ensures you’re ready to go – a flashing green light means ready to ride. Hammerhead Karoo connectivity allows you to monitor pressure in-ride to achieve your ideal set up and detect potential issues before they arise.

Slow green flashing
Tire pressure is within normal/suggested range, get out and ride!

Slow red flashing
Low tire pressure is detected. Think about adding some air.

Fast red flashing
High tire pressure is detected. Think about letting some air out.
