Goodyear For Zipp XPLR Slick Tubeless Tyre

The Goodyear For Zipp XPLR Slick Tubeless Tyre is purpose-built for dry gravel racing, delivering unmatched speed and efficiency when paired with Zipp 303 XPLR wheelsets. With a slick centre tread, low rolling resistance, and a lightweight, supple construction, this tyre is engineered to reduce vibration and maximise performance. Its design ensures optimal aerodynamics, smooth handling, and greater energy savings across smooth to moderate gravel terrain.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Designed to pair with Zipp 303 XPLR wheels: The tyre's dimensions are optimised to fit 303 XPLR rims precisely. This pairing creates a seamless interface that enhances aerodynamics and ensures efficient energy transfer, making it the fastest gravel setup for dry conditions.
• Semi-slick tread with cornering blocks: The smooth centre tread minimises rolling resistance, while the textured shoulders add grip. This balance delivers high-speed efficiency on straightaways with added control during cornering on loose surfaces.
• Wide profile enables lower air pressure: Measuring 40mm on 303 XPLR wheels, the wider profile allows riders to run at reduced pressure. This helps dampen vibrations and road buzz, preserving rider energy over long distances.
• M:Wall sidewall reinforcement: A protective layer is embedded in the sidewalls to prevent cuts and pinch flats. This added layer improves durability and reliability, even when running the lowest recommended pressures.
• Dynamic:UHP rubber compound with 120 TPI casing: This advanced rubber blend and fine thread count create a tyre that’s both fast and supple. The result is enhanced traction, improved comfort, and better terrain conformity without sacrificing speed.
• Bead design matched to Zipp TSS rims: The tyre bead is shaped to fit Zipp TSS rims securely. This precise match ensures easier setup and improved retention during use, reducing the chance of burping under pressure.

For riders focused on pure speed over smooth to moderate gravel, this tyre offers the most efficient setup when combined with Zipp’s XPLR system. The main advantage lies in its ability to reduce rolling resistance and vibrations simultaneously, giving racers a clear edge in energy savings and speed. The specific tread pattern and casing structure contribute to grip and control, but the tyre’s real strength is how it integrates with the wheel to transform performance outcomes.

Get more out of every race with a gravel tyre built for low resistance, comfort, and aero gains. The Goodyear For Zipp XPLR Slick is the clear choice for riders chasing efficiency on dry, fast terrain.
