TUNE wheelset 28" Gravel Nano 45 Ceramic Bearings | silver
Ready to ride something different - Ready for something new? This is the motto under which Tune is launching premium gravel wheels onto the market. Gravel nerds have had to wait a long time for this and are now rewarded for their patience. With the wide, high-quality carbon rims, the lightweight Nano hubs and the proven Sapim CX-Ray spokes, no compromises have been made and you can plunge into your adventures without hesitation.
Hubs
The exclusive Nano CL hubs take center stage. These are lovingly CNC-milled from 7075 aluminum. The special feature of the front hub is a new hub flange that does not require a carbon ring. The symmetrical design ensures optimum balance of the front wheel. At the rear, the POEtry69 freehub mechanism keeps the free travel to a minimum when starting off, so that direct power transmission is possible. The lightweight axles run on high-quality XD-15 ceramic hybrid ball bearings from Enduro Bearings. These have extra-hard ceramic balls in raceways made from specially treated steel. These minimize rolling resistance and ensure low maintenance and a long service life thanks to their perfect finish and sealing.
The hubs are also a real eye-catcher visually. Clear lines, high-quality surfaces and filigree spoke mounts testify to a great love of detail.
Like all Tune hubs, the Nano CL is developed, produced and assembled entirely in the Black Forest.
Rims
In addition to the hubs, the rims are another important component of a wheel. These in particular have a significant influence on weight and agility. Of course, the guys from the Black Forest have left nothing to chance here either. Carbon was chosen as the material of choice. This is light, stiff and very robust if processed correctly.
Visually, the rims of the Nano Gravel 45 have a new design concept. The rims have a raw UD finish with visible braided sections, which not only reduces weight but is also less susceptible to scratches - because gravel bikes are rarely flawless. A drainage hole has also been integrated so that any water that gets in can flow out again on its own. This is very practical if you regularly ride through streams and is also a safety feature in the event of a valve failure. Without a drain hole, air can enter the rim cavity during inflation and potentially lead to overpressure inside. Tune therefore wants to eliminate this risk from the outset.
No compromises are made when it comes to the shape of the rim flange. It has a classic hook and holds the tire securely in the rim well even with high air pressures and fast cornering. The tire is also perfectly supported due to the enormous inner width, has a rounder shape and generates more grip and comfort.
Aerodynamically, the rims with their 45 mm sidewall height are right at the top. They plow through the wind and reduce braking turbulence. This means you can save valuable energy on flat and fast sections and have extra energy left over for the sprint to the finish. The rims also have excellent agility due to their low weight. Whether it's intermediate spurts or quick changes of direction, it reacts immediately.
Last but not least, the wheelset is of course also tubeless-compatible and you will benefit from low puncture susceptibility.
Spokes
Tune has left nothing to chance with the spokes either. The tried and tested Sapim CX-Ray are used. With them, the Belgians have 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 racing cyclists or mountain bikers, everyone benefits from these positive properties. The flattened middle section also ensures excellent aerodynamics. The high material quality enables the construction of stable wheels and guarantees a long service life. In addition, the elimination of the highly stressed spoke bend eliminates a potential breaking point and thus further minimizes the susceptibility to punctures.
