The Zipp 303 XPLR S is a big upgrade for gravel riders—without the big price tag. This wheelset borrows key innovations from Zipp's premium wide gravel wheels, offering a robust and affordable option for discerning riders.
This is the fastest wheelset on gravel, thanks to its mega-wide rim that integrates seamlessly with approved gravel racing tyres.*
Gravel riding presents a unique set of challenges: resistance and vibrations from bumpy surfaces slow you down. To overcome this, Zipp applied Total System Efficiency specifically to gravel conditions.
The wide rim profile increases air volume, allowing lower tyre pressures without the tyres squirming. That means you dampen surface vibrations while maintaining grip in corners and traction on climbs.
The rim design also creates a smooth transition with gravel tyres for unmatched aerodynamic efficiency on loose terrain.
Despite being built for the rigours of gravel, the 303 XPLR S remains lightweight—keeping you fast and fresh for those long, satisfying days in the saddle.
