Zipp’s 101 XPLR is our first purpose-built wheelset 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 wheelset 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. The 101 XPLR features the ZR1 hubset for better seal design for improved durability and quicker response with 66 points of engagement. With 101 XPLR, victory is in the pursuit of adventure. Available in two colors, Standard and Kwiqsand. Quarq’s TyreWiz is an add-on option for 101 XPRL to dial in your pressure for an even more compliant ride.
