This episode of Zipp Speed Podcast is all about gravel. We talk with Sarah Walter of RockShox and Nico Deportago-Cabrera of Zipp about their experiences riding or racing gravel, especially when using the Zipp 101 XPLR wheelset and the Rudy XPLR fork for smoothing out the ride. This podcast is the first of two episodes taking a deep dive into two critical components of SRAM’s XPLR gravel collection, the 101 and Rudy. Each works to help tame the many washboards, stones, and bumps of gravel riding. The 101 and Rudy, primarily when used together, make you faster through effective vibration damping to smooth out the ride and reduce fatigue. This podcast accompanies a tech blog you can find in our show notes or on SRAM.com under the RockShox Technology section. Also, watch for Part II of our XPLR gravel podcast, where we’ll dive deeply into the 101 XPLR and Rudy with Zipp and RockShox product managers. But for now, we’re joined by Sarah of RockShox and Nico and Dan from Zipp. It’s time for the Zipp Speed Podcast!
