Zipp 353 NSW Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Rear Wheel

The Zipp 353 NSW Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake Rear Wheel combines low weight, advanced aerodynamics, and integrated tyre-pressure monitoring for peak road performance. Its revised carbon structure boosts rim strength by over 16%, while the AXS-integrated sensor allows real-time pressure control. Designed for endurance riders and racers, this rear wheel delivers efficient climbing, stability in crosswinds, and smooth engagement from the ZR1 SL hub.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Integrated AXS Wheel Sensor: Built into the rim for seamless data capture. Enables real-time tyre-pressure monitoring without external sensors. Riders gain accurate, on-the-go pressure feedback to fine-tune performance.
• Revised carbon layup with 16% higher impact strength: Strengthens the rim structure without added weight. Increases durability during demanding climbs or rough tarmac. Riders can rely on long-term performance under repeated stress.
• Undulating 35/40mm deep rim shape: Enhances aerodynamic efficiency and crosswind stability. Reduces drag while improving handling. Maintains speed and control across varied terrain and weather.
• ZR1 SL hub with ceramic bearings: Premium hub design reduces rolling resistance. Ensures smoother, faster engagement with 66 points of contact. Increases drivetrain efficiency and responsiveness on every pedal stroke.
• Hookless carbon rim with 25mm internal width: Allows secure tubeless tyre fitment. Optimised for 30mm tyres, improving grip and ride quality. Delivers better cornering, comfort, and rolling speed on road surfaces.
• 30g lighter hub than previous NSW model: Reduces rotational mass at the wheel centre. Minimises acceleration effort and overall bike weight. Helps maintain momentum on climbs and rapid shifts in pace.
• Disc brake-specific with centre lock design: Ensures precise braking modulation. Supports greater control and power when descending. Offers predictable, consistent stopping across different gradients.
• Exclusively road-optimised setup: Not approved for gravel use. Tailored for smooth road racing environments. Supports a maximum rider and bike system weight of 114kg, meeting endurance demands.

Designed for riders focused on efficient climbing, fast descents, and mid-ride adjustments, the 353 NSW rear wheel delivers control, responsiveness, and reliability. With pressure feedback built directly into the rim and a low-weight, high-strength profile, it suits competitive riders needing maximum performance without compromise.

Experience smoother rolling, better pressure control, and improved durability from your next upgrade. The 353 NSW Rear Wheel is ready to meet the needs of serious road cyclists looking for an edge.
