GRAVEL / CRØSS / ADVENTURE : RINGS to RULE THEM ALL

It's been an interesting journey for Gravel/Cross/Adventure wheels, most of which were our XC/Mountain Bike wheels from only five or ten years ago - as with all disciplines we're using increasingly larger width rims to support the tyre with a squarer profile, which gives the rider better feedback and allows the bike to retain grip for longer and behave in a predictable way! Naturally everything is made bespoke for your racing, riding or adventures and we select every part to suit what you want to achieve with your bike and wheels.

P R I M Ø   1 P R O   ' 2 6

The P R I M Ø 1 P R O wheelset is updated for 2026.

 

Designed as our premium alloy wheel option, P R I M Ø features DT Swiss welded rims, in various depths and widths, that are lightweight, seemless, and tubeless ready. For the P R O version we use CX-Ray bladed spokes to keep the weight low and the strength high. We build these with Hope Pro5 hubs, and generally we use a 32-spoke, 3-cross pattern for maximum reliability, but many other options are available upon request – strong, light, reliable and with a more supple feel than a carbon rim, this is still a great option for off-road.

D Ë L U X   1 P R O   ' 2 6

Our D Ë L U X 1 P R O are a new option for 2026

 

Our Version 3.2 D Ë L U X wheelset is built using Venn Carbon rims which are filament wound for exceptional strength to weight. For the P R O version we lace these up with bladed CX-Ray spokes to further increase strength, and we center the wheel around a Hope Pro5 hub for the ultimate in reliability - we started building with Hope hubs over two decades ago and those hubs are still in operation, which speaks volumes about the quality of these English made hubs,which are available in seven standard colours!

S U P R E M É   1   ' 2 6

S U P R E M É wheels for 2026 use the incredible DT Swiss 240 hub. This means we can shave off 150g of rotational weight, compared to the D Ë L U X   1 P R O! Venn rim options are vast so we can tune the wheel to suit your needs (our favorite being 35mm deep and 25mm wide), and the CX-Ray bladed spokes are both lighter and stronger than a traditional round spoke. Brass or alloy nipples are used depending upon riding style and to suit the rider. Spoke patterns and counts are chosen based upon application to build the best wheels for the individual, and hub stickers are colour matched to your bike!

As the name suggest U L T I M Ä T E wheels are built when compromise just isn't an option. Carbon rims are the very best in terms of their strength to weight ratio. Bladed Straight Pull spokes as standard. Alloy nipples specced for racing along with spoke count and pattern to suit the individual rider. The ultimate lightweight DT Swiss 180 Hubs, saving 200g compared with a D Ë L U X   1 P R O! Custom stickers and finishes, as standard, to subtly match your bike. Like all our wheels these are available with Schwalbe tyres, set up tubeless and ready for your next adventure.
