Designed to Dominate Gravel Racing

The ZIPP 303 XPLR SW represents a new approach to gravel wheel performance.

Its wide, aerodynamic rim design is specifically engineered to work with wider gravel tyres, improving the relationship between tyre shape, rolling resistance and aerodynamic efficiency.

The ability to run lower tyre pressures helps absorb vibrations and maintain traction across rough gravel, loose surfaces and technical terrain, allowing riders to conserve energy and maintain speed over long distances.

Whether competing in demanding gravel races, exploring fast mixed-surface routes or tackling technical off-road sections, the ZIPP 303 XPLR SW delivers the performance, reliability and confidence required for competitive cycling.

Built for riders who demand maximum speed, efficiency and control beyond the pavement.
