  • 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.

Description

Description

The Elitewheels Drive G45 SS gravel wheels with steel spokes, are very light carbon wheels within Elitewheels' gravel range, with an impressive overall weight of +/-1370 grams. And all that while the rims are 45mm high, internally 24mm and externally 31mm! This makes for a stiff wheelset with a direct ride and braking ideal for hilly or twisty courses. The hubs are double sealed to keep out water and dirt. The hubs feature semi-ceramic bearings with great durability and low rolling resistance. The Elitewheels are UCI approved, so fully approved for use in races.

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.
