Zipp 101 XPLR Carbon Tubeless Disc Rear Wheel

Zipp 101 XPLR Carbon Tubeless Disc Rear Wheel

The Zipp 101 XPLR Carbon Tubeless Disc Rear Wheel is ideal for attacking any gravel ride, whether it's the longest, most challenging adventure or a gruelling race. Utilising a lightweight and laterally stiff full carbon rim, the ride afforded by this wheel is responsive and lively to conquer the climbs and nimbly navigate technical terrain. Additionally, the rim is realised via Zipp's single-wall MOTO Technology that permits it to twist from side to side around each spoke nipple. This integrated flex increases compliance, grip and control to promote an altogether more composed and faster ride and reduces the chances of pinch punctures.

A 27mm wide internal rim width partners with a hookless tyre interface to help broader tubeless-ready tyres achieve lower rolling resistance and increased grip at lower inflation pressures. A smooth spinning ZR1 hub boasts comprehensively sealed bearings, and its 66 point engagement, 6-pawl freehub grants an instant pedalling response. Reliable Sapim CX-Sprint spokes link the build and are arranged in a durable three-cross lacing pattern.
