The recently introduced Zipp’s 353 NSW Tubeless Disc brake is the lightest and most technically advanced wheel in the ZIPP range. It is the first SRAM AXS-connected wheelset that measures tire-pressure in real-time without having to mount an external device to the valve stem. The integrated sensor gives the rider green light before and during the ride monitoring the tyre pressure during all circumstances.

The revised carbon lay-up of the rims further increased the impact strength with over more than 16%. The sawtooth design of the rim measures a width between 35 and 40 mm, providing speed on the flat, the climb and the descend. In addition, the ZR1 SL hub set, featuring ceramic bearings and 66 points of engagement, will provide smoothness at a 30 grams lower weight than its predecessor.

The wheels are optimized for fitting 30 mm tyres of the Goodyear Fitment Series. But ZIPP recommends not going offroad with these wheels. In that case you better install the new 303 SW wheelset.

Specifications: rims carbon, hookless, tubeless tyres (29-35c), tube or sealant, inner width 25 mm, outer width 30 mm, depth 40 mm, finish UD fiber, Impress technology, max tyre pressure 73 psi/5.0 bar. Hubs ZR1 SL, ceramic bearings, body SRAM XDR, SRAM/Shimano Road, center lock only.

Weight: 1.310 grams (lightest configuration: 12mm through axles and XDR body. Tape and valve included).

Price*: € 3.900 (GoodYear’s Eagle 1 R Z29 Aero tyre € 100/each, Smart Tube TPU € 45).
