25 GR i9 1/1 700c Gravel Wheelset

FUSIONFIBER Carbon is a lightweight and strong material that enhances the durability and performance of your gravel wheels. This advanced carbon technology helps reduce overall weight while maintaining strength, allowing for better acceleration and handling on rough terrains.

Tubeless Ready rims allow you to ride without inner tubes, which significantly reduces the risk of flats. This technology enables you to run lower tire pressures, providing better traction and comfort on uneven surfaces, making your gravel rides smoother and more enjoyable.

The i9 1/1 Hubs are known for their high performance and reliability. They offer smooth engagement and durability, which is essential for gravel riding where you encounter various terrains. Their design ensures that your wheels spin freely and efficiently, enhancing your overall riding experience.

Centerlock Disc brakes provide superior stopping power, especially in challenging conditions like mud or rain. This system allows for easier installation and removal of the brake rotor, making maintenance simpler. With better braking performance, you can ride with confidence on any gravel path.

The claimed weight of 380 grams is significant because lighter wheels can improve your bike's performance. Lighter components make it easier to accelerate and climb hills, which is crucial for gravel riding. While the actual weight may vary slightly, choosing lightweight wheels can enhance your overall riding efficiency.

While these wheels are designed with gravel riding in mind, their robust construction and features like Tubeless Ready and Centerlock Disc make them versatile enough for other cycling disciplines, such as cyclocross or even light mountain biking. However, for optimal performance, they are best suited for gravel and mixed-terrain riding.
