The Zipp 303 XPLR S is a premium, high-performance carbon wheelset engineered specifically for gravel cyclists who demand speed and vibration damping. By utilizing an ultra-wide 32mm internal rim profile, the wheelset excels at supporting lower tyre pressures for enhanced traction and reduced rolling resistance on loose surfaces. While it offers industry-leading aerodynamics and build quality, it is important to note that this wheelset is exclusively compatible with Zipp-approved tubeless gravel tyres, limiting the use of traditional clincher or non-approved setups.

No, the 303 XPLR S features a hookless rim profile designed exclusively for tubeless-ready gravel tyres.
The wheelset is rated for a maximum system weight of 130kg (286 lbs).
Pressure depends on your weight and the tyre width chosen, but the rim is designed to excel at significantly lower pressures than standard clinchers.
While durable, these are optimized for gravel riding. Check your tyre width and pressure constraints against the rim manufacturer recommendations.
Always consult the official Zipp website or the latest tyre compatibility chart provided by Zipp for the most current list of approved models.
Verify that the tyre is on the Zipp approved list and check that the tubeless rim tape is not damaged or peeling.
Ensure the Center Lock lockring is tightened to the recommended torque and the axle is properly seated in the frame dropouts.
Check all spoke tensions and ensure the valve stem nut is tightened securely against the rim bed.
Proper setup is critical for the 303 XPLR S due to its hookless design. You must use only Zipp-approved tubeless-ready gravel tyres and ensure they are seated correctly. Always verify that your desired tyre model is on the current compatibility list. To care for the wheels, clean the rims with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to prevent abrasive grit from damaging the carbon surface. Check the 76D hub bearings periodically for any play, and ensure the Center Lock disc rotor lockring is torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. The wheelset has a maximum system weight limit of 130kg, which includes the rider, bike, and all gear.
