Why would I pick Zipp 101 XPLR wheels for gravel riding instead of the 303 S or 303 Firecrest tubeless wheels?

The Zipp 101 XPLR is a purpose-built wheelset for gravel, based on a single wall rim that features Ankle Compliance. This concept allows the wheel to have “suspension” for gravel bikes in a way that reduces the harmful vibrations through to the rider. As a result, riders experience less body fatigue, allowing them to stay fresh through the ride and finish strongly. The Zipp 101 XPLR wheelset also increases traction for more control when cornering and reduces the chance of getting a pinch flat.
