The Zipp 353 NSW Rear Wheel – 700c is engineered for cyclists chasing maximum performance on every ride. This rear wheel blends cutting-edge aerodynamics, lightweight strength, and unmatched efficiency to dominate climbs, descents, and flats.
At its core is Zipp’s Total System Efficiency™ (TSE™), a design approach that minimizes the four barriers to speed: wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, and vibration losses. Combined with the Sawtooth™ 45mm deep rim and HexFin™ ABLC dimple pattern, this wheel maintains top-tier crosswind stability and aerodynamic gains without compromising weight or ride quality.
This rear model includes the Cognition V2 hubset with Axial Clutch V2™, offering faster engagement, reduced friction, and improved power transfer. It’s built to handle aggressive riding with a smooth, responsive feel.
