Goodyear Vector R XPLR

The Vector R XPLR is specifically engineered for modern hookless rim profiles. While they may seat on some hooked rims, they are optimized for hookless systems, particularly Zipp 303 XPLR wheels, and you should verify your specific rim manufacturer's compatibility guidelines before installation.

The M:Shield layer is designed to offer robust puncture resistance without compromising the tire's suppleness. By integrating this protection directly into the casing, the tire maintains a predictable, responsive feel on varied gravel terrain rather than feeling stiff or dead.

Yes, these are tubeless-ready tires, but they can be used with inner tubes if preferred. However, to get the full benefit of the tire's construction and puncture protection, running them as a tubeless setup is recommended.

This tire is designed for high-performance gravel riding where speed and efficiency are priorities. The Dynamic:UHP rubber compound and 120 TPI casing make it an excellent choice for mixed-surface rides, hard-packed dirt, and light gravel where you want to maintain momentum.

Each tire weighs 440 grams. This weight reflects the balance Goodyear struck between durability, puncture protection, and the performance requirements of modern gravel racing.
