Zipp 303 XPLR S Rear Wheel 12x142mm CenterLock Carbon HG11

Zipp 303 XPLR S Gravel Wheelset – 700c

The Zipp 303 XPLR S delivers a major performance upgrade for gravel riders—without the premium price tag. Drawing from Zipp’s top-tier gravel wheelsets, it combines speed, durability, and comfort in an affordable package built for long days and demanding terrain.

Designed around an ultra-wide rim profile, the 303 XPLR S increases tire air volume, allowing riders to run lower pressures without squirm. The result is reduced vibration, improved grip in corners, and better traction on climbs. A seamless rim-to-tire interface also boosts aerodynamic efficiency on gravel, while the lightweight carbon construction keeps the ride fast and fatigue-free.
