Zipp Tire Goodyear Zipp Xplr Slick

The Goodyear XPLR Slick tyre is part of a revolutionary wheel and tyre system in the gravel world. This semi-slick competition gravel tyre pairs with the unique wheels Zipp 303 XPLR SW and S to offer the fastest wheel/tyre combination on smooth and moderate gravel terrain. It performs best on dry surfaces. Current gravel wheel systems are mostly slightly more robust versions of light, stiff, narrow, and aerodynamic road systems. The issue is that riding on gravel exposes your arms to painful vibrations which slow you down and, over time, increase fatigue. Additionally, gravel tyres often negate the aerodynamic benefits of traditionally narrow road rims. The Slick tyre is designed to measure 40 mm on the 303 XPLR wheel. The new wheel/tyre system XPLR takes a radically new approach and optimises the dimensions of the components to achieve the fastest configuration on the market. Besides unmatched aerodynamic benefits for gravel, the resulting rim width also allows for lower tyre pressure, which helps to eliminate vibrations and save energy. The XPLR Slick tyre offers the best aerodynamics with the 303 XPLR SW and S wheels, making it ideal for competition on smooth and dry gravel terrain. Its smooth tread promotes speed, while the textured shoulders provide more confidence in corners. The soft and lightweight construction enhances ride quality. The M:Wall reinforcements on the sidewalls add a layer of protection against cuts or pinch flats, allowing you to ride at the lowest pressure possible. Finally, the bead dimensions have been determined to ensure easy assembly and a secure fit on Zipp TSS rims. Only approved tyres may be used on XPLR wheels.
