Meet the new Zipp 353 NSW, a wheel that once again puts Zipp at the forefront of road racing technology. Read More
The Zipp 353 NSW wheels feature the same Sawtooth technology that debuted with the US brand's 454 wheels. But the 353s are far more than a shrunk down copy set to a shorter depth. Instead, the Zipp 353 NSWs feature a completely new design that greatly benefits from the lessons Zipp learned while making the 303 Firecrests.
So why the funny shape? The Sawtooth technology is proven to stabilize the wheel's behavior in varying crosswinds, so you never waste focus keeping the bike under control. Creating the Sawtooth profile takes nearly four times as long to manufacture as a standard 303, but as we know well, good things are worth the investment.
At 1255g, Zipp's 353s are the lightest set of disc-brake wheels they've made yet. They're one of the most lightweight tubeless disc wheels we've seen, period, which means your aero wheels can also now be your climbing wheels. With a 25mm inner width, they can support the widest of tires, making them a worthy choice for your gravel wheels, too. The hookless bead lets tires sit more flush with the rim's edge for a more significant aero advantage. It also allows for a manufacturing process that makes them stronger and lighter.
Zipp know that speed isn't just about weight and aerodynamics. It's about rolling resistance too. So just like the 303 Firecrests, the 353 NSW wheels are designed with Total System Efficiency Technology - Zipp's marketing speak for engineered compliance and vibration damping - meaning they smooth out the chatter so you can roll faster.

The ultimate allrounder. Floating up climbs, railing descents, and making light work of stiff cross winds - the 353 NSW wheelset is a leader across the board.

We ship the same day for everything other than entire bikes if you order before 11 am P.S.T. But if it's the weekend, we'll be out riding, and your order will leave Monday. Shipping costs are detailed on checkout, but we offer a few different services depending on your preference for speed. So if you need those new shoes for next week's ride or tomorrow's - we got you. And returns are easy, too. Send us a mail if something doesn't work out, and as long as it's unused and in its original packaging (naturally for apparel and footwear, you can try things on at home), we'll happily take it back within 30 days of your order.
If you have any questions or just want to say hi and talk about bikes, drop us a line.
