R2BIKE wheelset 28" Disc GRV | DT Swiss 240 EXP Road Center Lock hubs | Newmen Gravel Carbon rims
Application: Gravel GRV
This lightweight yet stable wheelset is the first choice for dedicated gravel or cross bikers. The well-balanced selection of components guarantees high reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
Lighter, stiffer, more precise and easier to maintain - these are the strengths of the new DT Swiss 240 hubs. These properties have been achieved thanks to Ratchet EXP technology. This not only means that the hubs have fewer components and therefore lower weight and less wear, it also allows the bearing to be positioned much further out on the drive side. The greater distance between the bearings results in greater hub rigidity, lower bearing loads and therefore greater durability. The stiffness on the hub body serves to distribute the load more evenly on the spokes. Drive and braking forces are transmitted even better from both spoke flanges to all spokes. One-sided load peaks are prevented, which protects the hub, spokes and rim. The super reliable toothed pulley freehub system with its large contact surface and 36 engagement points ensures extremely direct and reliable power transmission.
Rims
Like all Newmen carbon rims, the Advanced SL X.R.25 impresses with its first-class mechanical properties and very low weight and is the ideal basis for a lightweight gravel wheelset.
The hookless design makes it ideal for tubeless use, while the significantly reinforced rim flange is better able to withstand possible punctures and allows riding with low air pressure. In order to avoid weak points and increase durability, the spoke holes have been drilled using a special process without damaging the structure of the carbon fibres. The generous inner width for gravel rims also provides reliable support for wide tires. The slightly outward-positioned sidewalls make the shape of the tire rounder, resulting in significantly better cornering grip and increased safety.
Wheel construction at R2-Bike
Our wheels are assembled entirely by hand by our wheel builders. During the entire assembly process, great importance is attached to ensuring that not only the concentricity is correct, but also that the spoke tension is as even as possible. This special care allows us to give the first owner a lifetime guarantee against spoke breakage, as long as it was not caused by force.
The following services are also included for first-time buyers:
You get a universal wheel bag for all common sizes included.
You will receive a spare spoke with nipple in all required spoke lengths so that you can repair the wheel quickly after an accident.
Within 2 years of purchase, you will receive a free initial inspection of the wheel, during which the resulting work is completely free of charge. Only shipping costs are incurred.
You get a crash replacement promise: If your wheel is damaged within 2 years of purchase due to force majeure, we will rebuild it once. We grant a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge for the material.
