Vector R XPLR – Smooth is Fast.
In modern cycling, speed is not just a goal, but an attitude. When tackling the toughest conditions, riders push the boundaries of the perfect road surface in search of thrills. And a reliable ally like the Vector R XPLR, developed in collaboration with Goodyear, provides the confidence to do so.
With its advanced construction and unique combination of a supple 120 tpi carcass and lightweight R:Shield as well as M:Wall protective layers, the Tubeless tire is made to conquer everything – from unforgiving cobblestones to the roughest of bumps. At the same time, the Dynamic:UHP compound ensures less drag, more control and higher speeds.
The durable folding tire is perfectly matched to the Hookless rims of the revolutionary 303 XPLR wheels from ZIPP, which feature an internal width of 32 mm. This ultimate wheel/tire setup offers unsurpassed aerodynamics, superior comfort and precise handling, so that even the most demanding athletes will be surprised by the exceptional properties of the Vector R.

Fitment Series | Goodyear has a long tradition of producing tires that meet the highest demands in terms of speed, durability and control. In Goodyear, ZIPP has found a reliable partner who can provide the final building block for its in-house "Total System Efficiency" concept: the tire. The current approach in the development of bicycle tires enables the realization of models that are not only characterized by fast rolling characteristics, but also achieve optimal aerodynamics thanks to the targeted alignment with the ZIPP wheels and rims.
Tubeless Straight Side (TSS) | Hookless Tubeless or Tubeless Straight Side describes the design of the rims. Tubeless-compatible rims can be ridden without a tube, but a setup with a tube is also possible. Hookless or Straight Side describes the shape of the rim flange, which in this case is straight and designed without the classic hook. This design offers advantages in terms of greater impact resistance of carbon rim flanges.
Note: Tubeless Ready tires require tubeless compatible rims/wheels, tubeless valves, tubeless rim tape and sealing fluid for tubeless mounting. Sealant fluid is not required for tubeless UST tires, but is recommended for increased puncture protection. Installation should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
