Carbon Gravel Wheels

Gravel riding has exploded in popularity, evolving from a niche cycling subculture into one of the fastest-growing disciplines in the sport. Whether you’re exploring British bridleways, taking on long-distance bike-packing adventures, or tackling the increasingly competitive world of gravel racing, one upgrade consistently transforms the ride: a high-performance set of Carbon Gravel Wheels.

Gravel isn’t simply “road riding off-road”. The surfaces are rougher, the speeds can be higher than MTB, and the demands on the equipment are far more varied. Riders expect stability and comfort for long endurance rides, yet also need instant responsiveness and stiffness for race-day sprints or technical climbs. That’s where a dedicated carbon gravel wheelset comes into its own, offering the best blend of durability, lightweight construction, and precision handling.

Our latest generation of Carbon Gravel Wheels has been engineered specifically for the realities of modern gravel riding. From reinforced carbon rims to wide internal profiles and increased spoke strength, every detail has been chosen to enhance performance, reliability, and rider confidence across unpredictable terrain.

Why Purpose-Built Carbon Gravel Wheels Matter

A gravel bike is only as capable as the wheels it’s rolling on. Standard road wheels simply aren’t designed for the repeated impacts, fast cornering loads, or low-pressure tyres that define gravel riding. That’s why our Carbon Gravel Wheels are built from the ground up for off-road punishment and high-speed stability.

Reinforced Carbon Construction

Our gravel rims use a reinforced carbon layup designed to withstand hard hits, lateral strain, and the repeated impacts you encounter on stone, roots, flint, washboard sections, or loose fire roads. Unlike road-specific rims, our carbon gravel rims feature:

  • Additional impact-resistant carbon layers
  • Stronger sidewalls to cope with rim strikes
  • Heat-resistant resin systems for heavy braking on long descents

The result is a carbon gravel wheelset that handles abuse without compromising weight or responsiveness.

Higher Spoke Counts for Strength and Stability

To meet the demands of rough terrain, we’ve increased the spoke count compared to our road range. More spokes add:

  • Greater lateral stiffness
  • Better load distribution
  • Improved durability under heavy touring loads
  • Reduced risk of failure in remote bike-packing locations

This design choice means you get the snappy acceleration of carbon wheels with the reassurance of added toughness.

Wide Gravel Rim Profiles for Grip, Comfort & Control

One of the biggest advantages of our Carbon Gravel Wheels is the super wide internal rim width. As gravel tyres continue to grow — with 45mm, 50mm, and even 55mm tyres becoming increasingly common — wheel profile matters more than ever.

Why Wide Rims Improve Performance

A wider rim:

Creates a more stable tyre shape
Allows lower pressures without squirm
Enhances grip on loose or wet surfaces
Boosts comfort on long, uneven rides

This translates into more confidence when descending loose gravel at speed and better traction through technical corners.

Optimised for Tubeless & Hookless Setups

Gravel riding and tubeless tyres are the perfect match. Our rims are fully optimised for modern tubeless systems, using a hookless profile designed to:

  • Reduce weight
  • Improve impact resistance
  • Provide secure tyre bead retention
  • Simplify setup and maintenance

The hookless design also pairs exceptionally well with high-volume gravel tyres, making these wheels perfect for gravel racing, cyclocross, or long mixed-terrain adventures.

Premium Hub Options for Smooth, Reliable Speed

All of our Carbon Gravel Wheels are paired with industry-leading DT Swiss hubs. Known for their reliability, low maintenance requirements, and ultra-smooth engagement, DT Swiss hubs ensure that your gravel bike rolls efficiently in every condition — from freezing mud to dusty summer tracks.

Using these hubs gives our gravel wheelsets:

  • Effortless rolling efficiency
  • Fast engagement during accelerations
  • Excellent weather sealing
  • Long service intervals

In short, they provide the dependable performance gravel riders demand.
