The Purpose
Introducing the Carbon Gravel X-Wide: Carry speed over the seriously rough stuff with confidence on these super-wide 700C rims optimised for wide tires. The 35mm depth was selected for stiffness and burly strength, knowing that you’ll likely be spending plenty of miles off-road.
Featuring the same 5 degree RapidEngage 6-pawl hub as our 30 Carbon Gravel Disc (inclusive of H_CERAMIK freehub) this wheelset offers riders a more burly option for hardcore gravel/drop-bar off-road riding and racing! Benefitting further from a 28-spoke count both front and rear (for up to 120kg riders), the result is a strong gravel/bike-packing wheelset for the heaviest of duties! Hit the trails, HARD!
