Zipp 3ZERO MOTO B1

Unlike traditional box-section rims that are rigid, the single-wall Moto design allows the rim to pivot slightly at the spoke bed. This creates a compliant, suspension-like feel that helps the wheel track better over rough, rocky terrain.

Yes. Because the rim is designed to flex and absorb impacts rather than forcing the tire to take the full brunt of a hit, the risk of pinch flats is significantly reduced, even when running lower tire pressures.

This is a 27.5-inch front wheel designed for 15x110mm Boost spacing and 6-bolt disc brakes. Ensure your fork is compatible with these specific dimensions before purchasing.

While the rim is optimized for tubeless setups, it is compatible with clincher tires and inner tubes. However, for the best performance and pinch-flat protection, we recommend running it tubeless.

The 30mm internal width is a versatile sweet spot for modern enduro and trail tires. It provides excellent sidewall support for tires ranging from 2.3 to 2.6 inches wide, helping to prevent tire squirm during hard cornering.

While it is durable enough for XC, it is specifically engineered for the demands of enduro and trail riding. If you are looking for a lightweight, stiff wheel for pure XC racing, you might find this model slightly overbuilt for your needs.
