The Zipp 303 XPLR S is a 54 mm deep carbon gravel wheel for riders who want race-level speed on mixed surfaces at a fairer price. Its 32 mm internal rim width supports approved 40 to 61 mm tubeless gravel tyres at low pressures, for grip and comfort on the graded tracks and sandy farm roads of the UAE.
Each wheel is sold on its own. The front fits a 12 x 100 mm thru axle; the rear fits a 12 x 142 mm thru axle and has a SRAM XDR driver body. Both use Center Lock disc rotors and carry dark grey decals.
