The Elitewheels Gnar SL SS is the ultimate upgrade set for cross-country mountain bikers who want top performance and direct agility. Thanks to a total weight of just 1215 grams and a low rim depth of 25 mm, you keep the rotating mass to a minimum. You notice it immediately in explosive acceleration and steep climbing. The carbon rim has an internal width of 30 mm (38 mm external), which gives modern, wider MTB tyres an ideal profile and means you are less bothered by obstacles at a lower tyre pressure. This version relies on proven Sapim CX-Ray steel spokes with Sapim nipples. This provides a more comfortable ride feel, excellent vibration damping and high forgiveness on rough terrain. The hubs have a familiar 6-bolt disc brake mount for a solid installation of your brake discs.
RapidDrive 60T hub
The ratchet system with 60 teeth and a 6° engagement angle provides direct power transfer, ideal in tight corners and on technical climbs.
6-bolt disc brake mount
The hubs are fitted with the 6-bolt standard, which ensures a solid and reliable installation of your brake discs.
Titanium freehub body
The titanium alloy freehub body combines a very low weight with an extremely hard surface that prevents your cassette from digging in.
Optimal carbon layup and Sapim CX-Ray
The specific fibre structure of the rim complements the aerodynamic Sapim CX-Ray spokes for optimal stiffness and direct handling.
Fits:
- Mountain bikes with a Boost axle standard: 15x110 mm front axle and 12x148 mm rear axle.
- Brake systems with 6-bolt (6-hole) brake discs.
- Tubeless and tubeless-ready mountain bike tyres.
Does not fit:
- Centerlock brake discs (these hubs have a 6-bolt mount).
- Mountain bikes with traditional non-Boost thru-axles (100 mm front / 142 mm rear) or quick releases.
- Road bikes or gravel bikes with narrower axle and spacing dimensions.
Not sure? Here's how to check: measure the spacing of your frame and fork with a calliper or ruler: 110 mm at the front and 148 mm at the rear means you have the right Boost size. Also check your current brake discs: are they held on with 6 separate bolts? Then you have the right 6-bolt discs for this wheelset.

- Elitewheels Gnar SL SS front wheel
- Elitewheels Gnar SL SS rear wheel
