Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- 45 mm high carbon rim with stainless steel spokes making for a gravel wheelset weighing no less than 1370 grams!
- The rim width of 24mm internally and 31mm externally allows for a wide range of tyre fits between 30mm and 50mm.
- Features hubs with a double-walled waterproof design to better protect the bearings from dirt and water.
- The set uses semi-ceramic bearings for low rolling resistance and maximum wattage gains.
- Can handle a system weight of 125kg, which gives some room for extra packs and materials on your gravel bike.
- This G45 SS version with stainless steel spokes is slightly heavier than the version with carbon spokes.

Partner GCN
Elitewheels is a partner of Global Cycling Network with effect from 2024. A well-known youtube channel within the cycling world, providing you with the latest technologies within bikes and bike parts. GCN conducts many product tests for different brands and came to the conclusion that Elitewheels could fully meet their expectations.
Rims
The Drive G45 SS wheelset uses a U-shaped rim that has the aerodynamic advantages of a road bike wheel. The rims' 24mm inner width supports 30mm to 50mm tyres. This flexibility allows for road or trail riding. The marble carbon structure with glossy finish gives the wheelset a unique and striking appearance.
Hubs
The Drive G45 SS wheelset includes a custom-made, high-quality hub that uses a double-wall water-resistant design. The hub flanges are specially designed to be simple and practical in shape. This ensures easy cleaning of the hub after riding in muddy conditions. The hub contains high-quality semi-ceramic bearings with ceramic balls for low rolling resistance. These bearings also provide a much longer life compared to steel bearings.
Spokes
Sapim CX-Ray spokes are used in the Drive G45 SS wheels. After the initial alignment, the wheel is loaded sideways. This process is repeated again. The wheels are side-loaded a total of 16 times. We consider this an essential quality control standard. As a result, the wheels are guaranteed to stay within 0.2 mm of the actual value. The spoke shift of 2.8 mm minimises the difference in spoke tension right and left. This makes for a stronger and laterally stiffer wheel, giving you more control.
Durability
This Gravel wheelset has flawlessly passed the 20,000km durability test on rough surfaces that mimic gravel riding conditions. This far exceeds test standards.
• Tubeless rim tape (pre-mounted)
• Tubeless valves (pre-mounted)

A fantastic upgrade!
I am hugely impressed! Switching from standard wheels to these wheels is a world of difference. The handling is great, and the wider internal diameter makes putting on tubeless tyres incredibly easy. I've already changed the tyres twice now, and each time it went without a hitch. I would recommend these wheels to anyone looking for performance and ease of use. A fantastic upgrade!

Top wheels
Bought these wheels as an upgrade for my gravel bike. What immediately stands out is the low weight. Saves over 400g compared to my old wheels. The rear hub has a nice rattle, not too loud. That's nice when gravel riding where you have your legs still more often than on the road. Tubelessing was very easy with a set of 45mm G-one R/RS. The shiny finish of the carbon rim with clearcoat has to be your thing.
