The Zipp 303 XPLR S Gravel Front Wheel offers a significant performance upgrade for gravel riders without stretching your budget. Drawing key innovations from Zipp’s premium wide gravel wheelset, the 303 XPLR S delivers top-tier technology in a more affordable and robust package. Designed specifically for gravel racing, this wheel features a mega-wide rim that pairs seamlessly with approved tubeless tires, creating unmatched aero efficiency and reduced rolling resistance. Its hookless carbon rim construction and 54mm depth provide the stiffness and responsiveness needed for challenging terrains, while remaining lightweight for endurance rides.

What sets the 303 XPLR S apart is Zipp’s application of Total System Efficiency (TSE), tailored to address the unique demands of gravel riding. Surface resistance and trail vibrations are common challenges that slow riders down, but the wide 32mm internal rim width allows for lower tire pressures without compromising handling. This not only dampens trail chatter but also enhances cornering grip and climbing traction. The symmetrical rim profile, smooth UD carbon finish, and Sapim Secure-Loc brass nipples further ensure a dependable, aerodynamic setup that holds strong even on long, grueling rides.

Built with a 700c wheel size, 24 CX-Sprint spokes in a 2-cross pattern, and a durable 76D hub with stainless steel cartridge bearings, the Zipp 303 XPLR S is optimized for disc brakes with a 12x100mm thru-axle. Its max tire pressure of 50psi and weight capacity of 298lbs make it a strong contender for a wide range of riders.
