It's built for gravel racing, fast gravel group rides and long mixed-surface days. Zipp positions the XPLR S as the more accessible version of its premium wide gravel wheel, and it carries over the same wide-rim approach. It's a 700c (622 ISO) wheel with a \u003cstrong\u003e12x100mm thru-axle\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCenter-Lock disc\u003c\/strong\u003e mounting, so it fits most modern disc-brake gravel forks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets it apart is how the rim and tire work together. Zipp applies its \u003cstrong\u003eTotal System Efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e approach to gravel. The wide rim adds tire air volume, which lets you run \u003cstrong\u003elower pressures without tire squirm\u003c\/strong\u003e. That helps cut down surface vibration while keeping cornering grip and climbing traction. The rim profile is also shaped to line up smoothly with the tire's sidewall for aerodynamic efficiency. Because the rim is hookless, it's designed for \u003cstrong\u003eZipp-approved compatible tires only\u003c\/strong\u003e. Check that before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGravel racers and fast-paced riders upgrading from alloy to \u003cstrong\u003ecarbon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders who want a \u003cstrong\u003edeeper 54mm aero profile\u003c\/strong\u003e for gravel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTubeless riders who run \u003cstrong\u003elower pressures\u003c\/strong\u003e on rough surfaces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwners of disc-brake gravel bikes with a \u003cstrong\u003e12x100mm front thru-axle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsider a different wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want to keep using tires that aren't on Zipp's approved list, or if your fork uses a quick-release skewer or rim brakes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTire compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHookless rims\u003c\/strong\u003e only work with approved tires.
