Zipp 101 XPLR Carbon CL Disc Tubeless Front Wheel - Conquer Any TerrainBreak free from the confines of smooth tarmac and redefine your ride with the Zipp 101 XPLR Carbon Disc Tubeless front wheel. Engineered specifically for the modern gravel and all-road cyclist who demands performance, comfort, and unwavering control, this wheel is your ultimate partner for exploration. It´s built to deliver speed and efficiency not just on perfect pavement, but on unpredictable gravel, dirt, and broken roads where true adventures begin.The heart of the 101 XPLR´s revolutionary performance is its unique, compliant rim design. This innovative approach allows the wheel to pivot from the spoke bed, creating a suspension-like effect that absorbs road chatter and high-frequency vibrations. For the rider, this translates into a dramatically smoother ride, significantly reduced fatigue on long journeys, and enhanced control when the terrain gets rough. By absorbing impacts, the wheel stays planted on the ground, improving traction and giving you the confidence to push your limits. This design also drastically reduces the chances of pinch flats, letting you ride with greater peace of mind.Paired with a generous 27mm internal rim width, the 101 XPLR is optimized for the wider, lower-pressure tubeless tires favored in gravel cycling. This wide stance creates a broader tire profile and a larger contact patch with the ground, maximizing grip for confident cornering and climbing on loose surfaces. The ability to run lower tire pressures without compromising performance further enhances comfort and control, allowing the tire and wheel to work in perfect harmony.At the center of this advanced wheel is the durable and reliable ZR1 disc brake hub. Designed for high performance and longevity, it provides quick engagement and features superior sealing to protect against the dust, mud, and water you´ll inevitably encounter on your adventures. The wheel is laced with 28 robust Sapim CX-Sprint spokes, ensuring a strong, stiff, and responsive build that can withstand the rigors of aggressive off-road riding while remaining lightweight and efficient. Compatible with center-lock disc rotors, it offers powerful and consistent braking in all weather conditions.Whether you´re racing a gravel grinder, embarking on a multi-day bikepacking trip, or simply exploring the backroads, the Zipp 101 XPLR front wheel provides a tangible performance advantage that you can feel on every pedal stroke. It´s not just a wheel, it´s an upgrade to your entire riding experience, making you faster, more comfortable, and more capable of tackling whatever the road throws your way.Key Attributes:* Wheel Size: 28-inch - 700c* Rim Material: Carbon* Tire Compatibility: Clincher (Tube-type or Tubeless)* Brake System: Disc Brake* Position: Front* Rim Profile: Low profile under 30 mm for maximum complianceTechnical Specifications:* Brand: ZIPP* Item type: Wheel* Item name: 101 XPLR* Size: 700c* Front/Rear: Front* Use: Gravel* Brake type: Disc brake* Axle and OLD: 12x100 mm thru axle* Boost compatible: No* Tire type: Tube-type or Tubeless tires* Rim: Carbon* Rim width: Inside: 27 mm* Rim color: UD carbon fiber* Mounting type rotor: CenterLock* Hub: ZR1* Hub color: Black* Spokes color: Black* Graphics: Grey
