Good gravel wheels make all the difference on every ride, and at Escapa, we know that better than anyone. That’s why we’re introducing theZipp 303 XPLR S Tubeless Disc Rear Wheel, 12x142, 54 mm— a model designed to deliver a real leap in performance on mixed terrain. Thanks to its design specifically tailored for modern Gravel riding, it provides an optimal balance between speed, stability, and efficiency, allowing you to ride faster, with greater traction, and with total control on both trails and paved roads
Designed specifically for modern Gravel riding, this rear wheel features a carbon construction with an ultra-wide rim and deep profile, engineered to work in tandem with high-volume tires. This combination allows for increased air volume and lower tire pressures, which translates to significantly improved grip, greater shock absorption, and a more stable ride on all types of surfaces.
The rim’s design—with an internal width of 32 mm and a 54 mm profile—facilitates a smoother transition between the tire and the rim, improving aerodynamic efficiency and reducing rolling resistance. The result is a wheel that maintains speed with less effort, especially on fast Gravel sections and Compact trails.
Additionally, its hookless, Tubeless-compatible construction optimizes the performance of the wheel set, facilitating the use of low tire pressures without compromising stability. This helps minimize vibration-induced power loss and maintain traction in demanding situations such as corners, climbs, or uneven terrain.
