New Zipp 303 XPLR wheels: 32mm internal width for the fastest gravel wheels from the brand

Along with the new gravel group 1x13 RED XPLR AXS, SRAM has made another important launch, the new range of Zipp 303 XPLR wheels. Rims with 32mm internal width that take gravel riding to the next level, making it faster and more capable.

New range of Zipp 303 XPLR wheels

Zipp engineers identified these aspects as fundamental to the performance of the new gravel and created this new range of wheels based on them.

• Aerodynamic efficiency is crucial due to high speeds in gravel races
• Current wheels do not optimize aerodynamic efficiency with gravel tires
• Low tire pressure is essential for speed, but requires stability in corners
• Current designs do not prevent punctures with low pressures

Zipp 303 XPLR SW: uncompromising gravel speed

SRAM presents the new Zipp 303 XPLR SW as the fastest gravel wheel on the market and has adopted a Total System Efficiency (TSE) design for this purpose.
