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
The P R I M Ø wheelset is designed as our All-Round / Winter training wheel. It features DT Swiss sleeved rims that are both lightweight and tubeless ready. We use double butted spokes to keep the weight and cost low but the strength high. We build these with a choice of Hope Pro5/RS4/Pro4 (nice and noisy with a choice of colours) or DT Swiss 350 (quiet) hubs. These are generally built with 32 spokes in a 3x pattern – strong, light and reliable. Use the contact form below to start building your perfect HWEÓLS...
D Ë L U X
D Ë L U X wheels are commonly built with DT welded rims which are slightly lighter and even stronger than the sleeved versions. Double butted spokes are perfect for racing, especially for off-road disciplines. They are available with either Hope Pro5/RS4/Pro4 hubs or the excellent DTSwiss 350 hubs. Perfect for a very strong and reliable wheel which won't break the bank. Spoke counts and patterns chosen depending upon use. Use the contact form below to start building your perfect HWEÓLS...
S U P R E M É
S U P R E M É wheels represent the very pinnacle of alloy racing wheels; DT Swiss PHR style welded rims are the best quality alloy rims available. These are laced with bladed spokes, which 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. Hope Pro5/Pro4/RS4 Hubs are tried, tested and reliable favorites, but we also offer an upgrade option to the lighter DT Swiss 240 hub (saving up to 143g per pair). Spoke patterns and counts are chosen based upon application to build the best wheels for the individual. Use the contact form below to start building your perfect HWEÓLS...
U L T I M Ä T E
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, outperforming even the best alloy rims available. Bladed spokes as standard. Brass or alloy nipples specced along with spoke count and pattern to suit the individual rider. As with all our wheels we use the Hope Pro5/Pro4/RS4 Hubs, but for U L T I M Ä T E we also offer a DT Swiss 180 upgrade which will save you an average of 201g per pair! Commonly these wheels come with bespoke finishing touches to subtly match your bike. Use the contact form below to start building your perfect HWEÓLS...
