Zipp 101 XPLR Rim

The single-wall MOTO design allows the rim to flex slightly when it encounters impacts, acting like a hinge to absorb vibration and bumps. This creates a more compliant ride that helps reduce fatigue on long, rough gravel rides compared to the stiffer feel of traditional double-wall rims.

While the rim is optimized for tubeless setups to take advantage of lower tire pressures and pinch-flat protection, you can still run inner tubes if you prefer. However, you will get the best performance and ride quality by setting them up tubeless.

Yes, the Zipp 101 XPLR is designed specifically for disc brake systems. Ensure your hub and frame spacing are compatible with the 700c wheel diameter and the 28-hole spoke count before building your wheels.

The 27mm internal width is designed to support wider gravel tires, typically ranging from 35mm to 50mm or wider, depending on your frame clearance. This width provides a stable base for the tire, allowing you to run lower pressures without the tire rolling or squirming in corners.

Yes, the lifetime warranty covers damage that occurs while riding, including racing and typical off-road use. It is designed to give you peace of mind during demanding gravel adventures, provided the damage is not the result of neglect or improper use.
