Goodyear XPLR Intermediate Tire

The Goodyear XPLR Intermediate Tire is a game-changer in gravel riding, specifically crafted to pair seamlessly with Zipp’s ultra-wide 303 XPLR S and SW wheelsets. Engineered to deliver a high-speed, versatile performance on any gravel surface, this tire excels in both dry and mixed conditions. Unlike traditional gravel setups, which often sacrifice aerodynamic benefits and ride comfort, the XPLR Intermediate Tire and its corresponding wheel system redefine what’s possible in gravel cycling.

Traditional gravel wheel and tire systems often replicate road bike components—focusing on lightness and stiffness but failing to address the unique challenges of gravel riding, such as increased vibrations and compromised aerodynamic efficiency. The XPLR system takes a fresh approach, optimizing rim and tire dimensions to deliver unmatched speed and comfort. The wider rim profile allows for lower tire pressures, which effectively absorbs vibrations and enhances overall energy efficiency.

The XPLR Intermediate Tire features a central tread pattern designed for swift rolling and larger side blocks that ensure exceptional grip and stability while cornering. Its lightweight and flexible construction enhances ride quality, while the Wall sidewall reinforcements provide robust protection against punctures and pinch flats, enabling you to ride with minimal air pressure.

The tire’s Dual Angle Beads and Tubeless Complete technology ensure a secure fit on Zipp TSS rims. With a size that measures 45mm on a 32mm TSS rim and weighing just 525g, the XPLR Intermediate offers a perfect balance of performance and durability for a wide range of gravel riding scenarios. Only approved tires are compatible with the XPLR wheels, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
