The G40 XPLR from Zipp is a specially designed tubeless gravel tire for reliable control on unpaved roads. This tire provides grip for aggressive riding and offers the control and durability needed for gravel, dirt, rocks, mud, or other conditions. The G40 XPLR is a 40mm tire designed for control, which translates into a higher overall speed when gravel riding.
We started with a chevron center profile for speed, which transitions into an inverted football stud design, and then added XC-like knobs on the edges to dig in when needed. Durability was crucial. The tire's casing and bead-to-bead puncture protection strip navigate the fine line between flexibility and stiffness, ensuring that grip and performance are not compromised while creating an incredibly durable gravel tire.
The width of the G40 XPLR at 40mm was carefully chosen to optimize the profile while meeting riders' demands for wider tires for gravel events and off-road rides. It’s exactly what you need to ride hard all day long. With Zipp's widest and most versatile rim, the 303, the performance is exceptionally good.

The Zipp-G40-XPLR-P is an all-round gravel tyre. The cornering grip is convincing on any surface, and the ride comfort is also high. However, at 489 grams, the tyre is quite heavy. The rolling resistance is in the midfield, the puncture protection is somewhat lower than the robustness would suggest.
