Zipp 101 XPLR Wheel

Unlike traditional box-section rims that are rigid, the MOTO single-wall construction allows the rim to flex slightly when hitting bumps or rocks. This compliance helps the wheel track better over rough terrain, improving traction and reducing the harsh feedback that leads to rider fatigue.

While the rims are tubeless-ready and designed to perform best with a tubeless setup for lower pressures and puncture protection, they are compatible with inner tubes if you prefer that configuration.

The Zipp 101 XPLR is designed for a 12mm thru-axle, which is the standard for most modern gravel and road disc bikes. You should verify your frame's specific axle spacing to ensure a perfect fit.

With a 27mm internal width, this wheel is optimized for wider gravel tires. It provides a stable platform for tires ranging from 35mm up to much wider options, giving you plenty of flexibility to tune your setup for different terrain.

Yes, Zipp offers a lifetime warranty that covers damage occurring while riding, providing peace of mind for the demanding off-road conditions this wheel is built to handle.

This specific wheel comes with a Shimano Road 11-speed compatible freehub body. If you are running a different drivetrain system, such as SRAM XDR or Campagnolo, you may need to purchase a separate freehub body to make it compatible.
