Designed to work seamlessly with tubeless tyres, it offers exceptional grip and responsiveness whether pushing pace or tackling rough surfaces.

Key Features

Wide, Hookless Carbon Rim Profile
The ultra-wide 32mm internal rim width allows tyres to run lower pressures with better cornering grip and reduced vibration loss. Lower pressures improve traction and comfort without compromising control.

Total System Efficiency (TSE) for Gravel
Zipp’s gravel-specific TSE design integrates tyre and rim performance to reduce rolling resistance and vibration while improving rider comfort and efficiency over long distances.

Aero-Optimised Deep Rim for Speed
With a 54mm rim depth, these wheels deliver enhanced aerodynamic performance at speed, especially when paired with wider gravel tyres. The wide and deep profile creates a smooth tyre-to-rim interface that helps maintain momentum on fast gravel stretches.

High-Engagement ZR1 DB Hubs
Engineered for durability and smooth performance, the ZR1 DB hubs feature a robust seal design and 66 points of engagement for quicker response, smoother acceleration and long-lasting reliability. Centre-lock brake compatibility and replaceable end caps add versatility.

Tubeless-Ready and Gravel Optimised
Hookless carbon rims are designed for tubeless tyres only, improving bead seating, reducing pinch flats and simplifying setup. The design is optimised for approved gravel tyres to ensure predictable handling and secure fitment.

Lightweight yet Durable Carbon Construction
At approximately 1,450–1,500 grams per wheelset depending on configuration, these wheels balance strength, weight and durability, making them ideal for racing, long rides or fast adventure days.
