It is designed for fast gravel riding and racing. The wide rim lets you run \u003cstrong\u003elower tire pressures, under 30 psi\u003c\/strong\u003e, without the tire squirming, so you get less vibration over rough surfaces and keep your grip in corners and your traction on loose climbs. The 54mm rim is wide and deep enough that it sits flush with wide gravel tires, which is part of how Zipp applies its Total System Efficiency approach to gravel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat makes this wheel different from most gravel wheels is that the rim and tire are designed together. The 303 XPLR S works \u003cstrong\u003eonly with approved tubeless (TLR) tires from 40c to 61c\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003eGoodyear XPLR Slick and XPLR Inter\u003c\/strong\u003e were built specifically for this rim. You give up open tire choice, and in return you get a tire and rim that are matched for fit and performance. It comes with a \u003cstrong\u003elifetime warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e, and its symmetrical rim and robust build suit long, demanding days off pavement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It’s For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGravel racers and fast endurance riders who want a deep carbon rear wheel built for wide tires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders who already run low pressures, or want to, and value comfort and traction on rough gravel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders on \u003cstrong\u003eSRAM XDR or Shimano Microspline\u003c\/strong\u003e drivetrains with Center Lock disc brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConsider a different wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want a free choice of tire brand, run tires narrower than 40c, or need pressures above 50 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTire plan:\u003c\/strong\u003e Make sure the tire you want is on Zipp’s approved list.

The wide inner bed gives the tire more air volume and a broader footprint. That lets you \u003cstrong\u003edrop pressure under 30 psi\u003c\/strong\u003e while the tire stays stable under load. On washboard, chunk, and loose corners, you feel less chatter and the tire holds its line better. Because the rim is hookless, \u003cstrong\u003emaximum tire pressure is 50 psi (3.45 bar)\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e54mm symmetrical carbon rim.\u003c\/strong\u003e The rim is deep, with a UD carbon finish and adhesive decals.
