Emporia GA Performance Gravel Wheelset 650b
Offering speed and bump-taming strength at an incredibly attractive price point, the Emporia GA Performance wheels help any rider explore further and faster across previously uncharted gravel trails, forest tracks and broken-up back roads.
The alloy rim is light but bomb-proof, and it possesses a 25mm internal measurement to better support the sidewalls of tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyres. This additional tyre support decreases rolling resistance, improves traction and enhances comfort when using lower inflation pressures across the roughest ground.
HED GP Performance hubs house smooth bearings and accept Center Lock disc rotors to keep braking positive and controlled. Sapim Sprint spokes complete the build and are arranged in torsionally stiff two-cross lacing patterns.
