Too many of today’s carbon gravel wheels are simply repurposed road wheels. This approach leaves riders with problems that slow them down:
The 303 XPLR rim design provides measurable speed gains by lowering your tire pressure more than with previous wheels. A rider going 32 kph on gravel riding 40mm wide tires saved about 8 watts at 28 psi (1.9 bar) compared with a more traditional gravel wheel with 40mm tires at 36 psi (2.5 bar).
The 303 XPLR’s deeper and wider rim design means better aero performance. At average race speeds (about 29-36kph), Zipp internal testing found 2-watt savings from aero efficiency gains compared with a peer wheel. The advantage grew to 10 watts or more when speeds exceeded 53kph on descents and other fast sections.
Your tire is your connection to the ground, making tires a critical component for speed. That is why Zipp designed its XPLR tires in a radically different process: Start with an ideal gravel tire and create a wheel around it. Enter two great gravel options in the Goodyear Fitment Series for Zipp, the Goodyear XPLR SLICK and Goodyear XPLR INTER.
Zipp’s XPLR wheels, tires, and handlebars are purpose-designed, tested, and manufactured to meet the demands of today’s gravel riders, no matter your goals. Be ready for whatever gravel throws your way.
