ZIPP 353 NSW Tubeless Disc Rear

The Zipp 353 NSW Tubeless Disc Rear wheel is the pinnacle of our pursuit of versatility and speed. This wheelset fuses Zipps two most advanced approaches, Sawtooth rim profile and TSE, for an all-encompassing approach to performance. With its undulating 45-mm deep rim shape, the 353 NSW provides speed on every terrain with best-in-class aerodynamic efficiency and crosswind stability. The 353 NSW is Zipps lightest tubeless wheelset yet, making it a fast-puncher ready to fight its way into the breakaway. Zipps use of hookless (straight side) rims in the Zipp 353 NSW Tubeless Disc Rear is integral to achieving our mission of Making You Faster.

With hookless, the transition between the tire and the rim is more seamless and aero. Zipps hookless rims have more efficient resin distribution, which means lighter wheels. They also are highly durable. Zipps 353 NSWs Sawtooth rim shape with Hyperfoils optimizes aerodynamic efficiency and crosswind stability. The Sawtooth design also allows the rim to be structurally strong but light. That will help you snap out of corners and maintain that speed no matter the terrain, especially the steep, punchy stuff. The Zipp 353 NSW Tubeless Disc Rear wheel utilizes Zipps Total System Efficiency, or TSE, approach to wheel design: overcoming specific barriers to speed: wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses.

The wheelsets 25mm internal width is ideal for running wider tubeless tires at reduced air pressure for a more efficient ride. At the center of the 353 NSW is the Cognition V2 Hubset re-engineered with an updated Axial Clutch V2 mechanism for quicker engagement and lower friction as well as improved durability.

HOOKLESS TIRE COMPATIBILITY

The model year 2021 and later Zipp303 S,303 Firecrest,and353 NSWdisc-brake wheels, as well as the model year 2022 Zipp404 Firecrestand858 NSWand454 NSWwheels are compatible with tubeless or tubeless-ready tires unless the tire manufacturer specifically prohibits the use of their products on tubeless hookless (straight side) rims.

This article is a guide. We recommend that riders confirm compliance with the tire manufacturer to ensure proper performance and safety. *The following tire brands have communicated to Zipp that some of their tubeless models are compatible with Zipp hookless wheels:

• Continental (Grand Prix 5000 S TR in sizes 700x28, 700x30 and 700x32)
• Goodyear
• Michelin
• Panaracer
• Pirelli
• Rene Herse
• Schwalbe (Pro One TLE, Pro One TT TLE, One TLE)***
• Specialized (SW Turbo RapidAir in sizes 700x28 and 700x30)
• Zipp (Tangente Course G40 XPLRgravel tire)

Notice:Zipp hookless rims are not compatible with tires that have a higher minimum pressure than 72.5 psi (5 bar). Please follow the tire manufacturers minimum inflation pressure recommendations marked on your tire.

***Schwalbe TLE tires are currently marked with minimum tire pressure above 73psi (5 bar). Schwalbe has confirmed that their listed tires can be ridden at pressures under 73psi (5 bar) on Zipp hookless rims, according to their current testing.

Zipp hookless rim disc-brake wheels meet the existing industry standards for the dimensions that control tire retention. The tire manufacturer determines their tires compatibility with those standards. Zipp is actively collaborating with tire manufacturers within ISO and ETRTO committees to develop clear international standards for tubeless road tires.

*We will continue to update this list as more tire manufacturers communicate hookless rim compatibility.
