Zipp 101 XPLR 28H 700c Tubeless Carbon Rear Road Rim

Zipp’s 101 XPLR is our first purpose-built rim for gravel. Thanks to MOTO Technology, this wheelset arms gravel cyclists with more control and durability over harsh terrain, providing a smooth ride quality that helps reduce fatigue. That means a more comfortable ride. The 101 XPLR —short for explore—is purpose-built for riders searching for adventure beyond the norm. Think of it as a magic carpet ride over primitive roads, especially with large tubeless tires at lower tire pressures. This rim is ideal for gravel racing, adventure, or any long day in the saddle. Based on Zipp’s MOTO Technology, the 101 XPRL’s single-wall rim construction provides excellent compliance and vibration damping. Less fatigue, allows you to ride longer and faster. Quarq’s TyreWiz is an add-on option for 101 XPRL to dial in your pressure for an even more compliant ride.

Moto Technology
Our single-wall approach, what we call Moto Technology, allows the rims to “pivot” from either side of the spoke bed while traversing rough terrain. As the wheel encounters obstacles, each edge of the rim is designed for compliance, creating the feel of the extra suspension. For the rider that means durability and control for greater speed: Higher impact resistance reduced chance of pinch flatting, more traction in rough corners, smoother ride in rocky terrain, ability to run lower tire pressure, and reduced rider fatigue.
