RA Cycles carries the full range of Zipp carbon wheels — road, gravel, triathlon, and mountain — from the entry-level 302 through the top-tier NSW line. Zipp has been designing and manufacturing carbon wheels in Indianapolis since 1988, and every rim in the current lineup is still made in their Indiana facility. That level of vertical control is rare in the wheel industry, and it shows in the consistency of the product.
The road lineup is built around three tiers. The Firecrest series (303, 404, 808) uses Zipp's wide, blunt-nosed rim profile for crosswind stability and predictable handling — these are the workhorses. The SW tier adds SRAM's AXS Tire Pressure Monitoring and a lighter build, with the 303 SW sitting at the sweet spot of weight, width, and versatility. The NSW wheels are Zipp's flagship — the 353 NSW at 1,255 grams and the 454 NSW with its sawtooth rim profile represent the most advanced aero and weight engineering Zipp produces. For time trials and triathlon, the 808 Firecrest and 858 NSW go deep — 58mm and 82mm respectively — and the Super-9 disc rounds out the TT setup.
Beyond road, the 303 XPLR series brings Zipp's carbon construction to gravel with a 32mm internal width and 54mm depth, and the 1ZERO HITOP is their mountain bike wheelset for 29-inch trail riding. Browse the full Zipp catalog for handlebars, stems, seatposts, and accessories.
