And Goodyear joins the party with tyres to match.
5 cool things from Crankbrothers, Tioga, Gusset, Problem Solvers and DonnellySRAM’s high-performance wheel sub-brand, Zipp, has developed two new models specifically for gravel riding. The new 303 XPLR S and SW wheels feature a completely redesigned internal architecture and rim shape – and they are much wider than conventional gravel bike carbon rims.
As evidence of how revolutionary its new wheels are, as opposed to being mild evolutions, Zipp has gone for an even wider rim width than most mountain bike wheels. Zipp’s 303 XPLR S and SW wheels feature a 32mm internal diameter. But why so wide?Aside from the benefits of running larger tyres at lower pressures, the other product rationale is aero.
Zipp’s 303 XPLR riders who need more climbing, cornering and braking traction can opt for the Goodyear INTER, which is wider than a SLICK at 45mm and slightly heavier at around 525g. The INTER features a distinct centre tread pattern for enhanced braking in dusty or muddy conditions and a grouping of rectangular lugs spread from the centre to the casing’s shoulder.
