Description

R2BIKE wheelset 28" Disc GRV | DT Swiss 350 | Light Bicycle Falcon Pro WG55 Carbon | Sapim CX-Ray

Application: Gravel GRV

There are almost no limits with this gravel wheelset. It offers the ideal compromise between low weight, comfort and good handling. Whether on the road or on forest highways, you can really pick up the pace with it and always have enough grip. Thanks to the balanced component selection of Light Bicycle Carbon rims and the indestructible DT Swiss 350 hubs, you are guaranteed high reliability and a long service life.

DT Swiss 350 Straightpull hubs
DT Swiss hubs stand for simple construction and maximum reliability. Thanks to the use of elaborate seals and bearing sizes adapted to the loads, the hubs do not require any adjustment of the bearing play. This means that the rider does not have to worry about the function of the hubs for years! Should a service be necessary after tens of thousands of kilometers, the hubs can be disassembled and serviced within a few minutes without special tools thanks to the DT Swiss plug-in system.
Thanks to their simple but well thought-out design, the current 350 hubs have become significantly lighter compared to the previous versions. The proven ratchet freehub system of the DT-Swiss 240 hubs makes the hubs an extremely reliable companion. Compared to pawl systems, the ratchet freehub offers a more even power transmission, which significantly reduces wear. With 36 teeth, the hub reacts very directly to acceleration. The new shape of the end caps makes disassembly even easier, making it even easier to convert to other axle standards.

Rims LIGHT BICYCLE Falcon Pro WG44 Disc Flyweight
Light Bicycle were ahead of their time with the Falcon Pro WG rims. While many manufacturers only launched gravel wheels with an inner width of 30 millimetres or more in 2024, the Chinese have had their high wide gravel rims in their range since the beginning of 2023. The advantages are obvious. Wide tires are integrated into the rim profile in a streamlined manner, making the system more aerodynamic and less susceptible to crosswinds. The large inner width also gives the tires more volume, which has a positive effect on the damping properties and provides more reserves against punctures. In addition, the tire remains stable on the rim even at extremely low air pressures and high lean angles. The hybrid hook profile on the rim flange also ensures a secure tire fit.
Despite the extreme dimensions, the WG rims in the Flyweight version weigh less than 400 grams thanks to a complex manufacturing process and are nevertheless more resistant to mechanical loads when riding.

Please note the maximum permissible rider weight of 90 kg.

SAPIM CX-Ray spokes
With the CX-Ray, Sapim has succeeded in developing an exceptional spoke. In addition to its low weight, it has an exceptional load capacity and flexibility. This also results in a wide range of applications. Whether road cyclists or mountain bikers, everyone benefits from these positive characteristics. In addition, the flattened middle section ensures excellent aerodynamics. The high material quality enables the construction of stable wheels and guarantees a long service life.
