Zipp Goodyear Slick Xplr Tubeless tyre
The Goodyear XPLR Slick is part of a wheel and tyre system that changes the gravel game
This semi-slick racing tyre is designed for Zipp's unique 303 XPLR SW and S wheel sets to offer the fastest wheel and tyre combination on smooth, moderate gravel. Its best performance is achieved in dry conditions. Today's gravel wheel systems are mostly slightly more robust versions of the existing road wheels: light, stiff, narrow and aerodynamic. The problem is that driving on gravel induces damaging vibrations that slow the user down and increase fatigue over time. In addition, gravel tyres generally negate the aerodynamic advantages of traditionally narrow road tyres. The Slick is designed to measure 40 mm on the 303 XPLR wheel. The new XPLR wheel and tyre system takes a completely new approach and optimises component dimensions to achieve the fastest configuration on the market. In addition to the unsurpassed aerodynamic advantages for off-road riding, the resulting rim width also allows the tyre pressure to be reduced, helping to filter vibrations for additional energy savings. The XPLR Slick offers the most aerodynamic configuration for gravel with the 303 XPLR SW and W wheels and is best suited for racing on smooth gravel in dry conditions. Its slick centre ensures fast rolling, while the structure and cornering blocks provide a certain level of safety. The light and elastic structure improves ride quality. M:Wall reinforcements on the sidewalls protect against punctures and cuts, allowing the rider to use the lowest possible air pressure. Finally, the bead size of the tyre is designed to ensure a comfortable fit and secure hold on Zipp TSS rims. Only approved tyres can be used on XPLR wheels.
