Fast, tough and unapologetically wide, the Zipp 303 XPLR S rear wheel brings high-performance gravel technology to riders seeking greater speed, grip and control without stepping up to the premium SW model.
The 54mm-deep carbon rim combines aerodynamic efficiency with an ultra-wide 32mm internal profile developed around larger gravel tyres. Increased tyre volume permits lower operating pressures, helping reduce vibration and improve traction across broken roads, loose surfaces and fast gravel tracks. It is Zipp's Total System Efficiency approach applied to terrain where comfort and control are every bit as important as slicing through the air.

Compatibility
Designed for gravel bikes using a 700C rear wheel, a 12x142mm thru-axle and a Centre Lock disc rotor. Select the freehub option that matches the cassette: SRAM XDR for compatible SRAM XPLR cassettes, or SRAM/Shimano Road for compatible HG-pattern road and gravel cassettes.
The hookless rim must only be fitted with tubeless-ready tyres approved by Zipp for use with the 303 XPLR S and its 32mm internal rim width. Compatible tyre widths are 40–60mm. An inner tube may be used inside an approved tubeless-ready tyre, but a conventional non-tubeless clincher tyre must not be fitted.
Tyre pressure must never exceed 50psi / 3.45bar, including when an inner tube is installed. The correct operating pressure may be considerably lower and should be selected according to rider weight, tyre size, terrain and manufacturer guidance.
