ZIPP Goodyear Slick XPLR 29 inch Gravel-Tire M:Wall foldable | tan
The Goodyear XPLR Slick is part of a wheel and tire system that is changing the game of gravel riding. It is a semi-slick gravel race tire designed for Zipp’s specialized 303 XPLR SW and S wheel sets, and it represents the fastest wheel-tire combination on flat to moderately rough gravel. It performs best in dry conditions. Today, gravel wheel systems are mostly slightly beefier versions of what’s available for the road: light, stiff, narrow, and aerodynamic. The problem is that riding on gravel causes harmful vibrations that slow you down and tire you out over time. Additionally, gravel tires typically negate the aerodynamic benefits of traditionally narrow road rims. The Slick is designed to measure 40 mm on the 303 XPLR wheel. The new XPLR wheel and tire system takes a completely new approach, optimizing component dimensions to achieve the fastest setup on the market. In addition to unmatched aero benefits for gravel, the resulting rim width also allows for lower tire pressure, which helps filter out vibrations and thus saves additional energy. The XPLR Slick offers the most aerodynamic gravel setup with 303 XPLR SW and S wheels and is best suited for racing on flat gravel in dry conditions. Its smooth center ensures fast rolling, while the texture and sidewall grip provide a secure feel. The lightweight and supple construction enhances ride quality. The M:Wall reinforcements in the sidewalls offer puncture protection against cuts and punctures, allowing the rider to get by with the lowest possible tire pressure. Finally, the tire bead dimensions are designed to ensure easy installation and a secure fit on Zipp TSS rims. Only approved tires may be used on XPLR wheelsets.
