Zipp 101 XPLR Carbon Tubeless Disc 650b Front Wheel

The Zipp 101 XPLR Carbon Tubeless Disc 650b Front Wheel amalgamates the finest materials and innovative design to heighten performance when exploring or racing across wildly varied gravel terrain. The full carbon rim is laterally stiff and light to donate a responsive ride and is realised via Zipp’s single-wall MOTO Technology that permits it to twist slightly from side to side around the spoke nipples. This integrated flex promotes additional compliance, which affords more control and grip across the harshest terrain.

The 27mm internal rim width and hookless tyre interface encourage broader tubeless-ready tyres to perform with lower rolling resistance and extra comfort at lower inflation pressures. The ZR1 hub spins smoothly and boasts excellent durability, and Sapim CX-Sprint spokes link the wheel together via a reliable three-cross lacing pattern.
