ZIPP wheelset 28" 101 XPLR Carbon Clincher | Tubeless | Center Lock | 12x142 mm thru axle | Standard
With the 101 XPLR, the wheel specialists at Zipp are launching the first wheelset optimized for the gravel segment. In contrast to their high-profile road rims, the rims of the 101 XPLR use the company's own MOTO technology, which has proven itself in the mountain bike sector. The flat, single-walled carbon rims have extremely high vibration damping and allow the rim to dodge hard impacts and adapt to the ground. This significantly increases resistance to hard impacts and ensures better traction and cornering grip. The large inner width of 27 millimetres gives wide tubeless tires even more volume and keeps them securely on the rim, even at very low air pressures. The properties of the MOTO rims not only allow you to save energy on gravel routes, the softer rolling behavior also means that you tire less quickly on long bikepacking excursions. With the optionally available TyreWiz, which matches the rims, you can always keep an eye on your current tire pressure.
Total System Efficiency (TSE)
The 101 XPLR wheels were developed under the TSE approach. The development goal was to find the best possible wheel design to overcome the speed barriers that exist under realistic riding conditions. These include wind resistance, gravity and rolling resistance as well as vibration losses in poor road conditions.
Zipp ZR1 hubs
The Zipp ZR1 hubs were developed in Germany over the course of two years. Their most striking feature is the extremely fine-toothed freehub body design of the rear hub with 66 engagement points per wheel revolution, which allows the ZR1 to respond to pedaling without any time delay. The fine toothing is realized via a system of 6 pawls, of which 3 pawls engage offset. The design of the seals is based on the high-end Cognition hubs and provides more protection and durability with a larger dust cap behind the freehub body and better seals.
Zipp Lifetime Warranty
Zipp grants you a lifetime warranty on your Zipp wheel when used properly. The warranty also covers racing use and damage caused by riding errors as long as the wheel has been used for its intended purpose. The warranty is only valid for the original purchaser and proof of purchase is mandatory!
NOTE: Due to the hookless profile, the Zipp 101 XPLR wheels are only suitable for use with ETRTO-compliant tubeless tires. However, the corresponding tubeless tires can be ridden on the wheels with a tube without any problems.
