Overview

As one of our widest road rims designs, the WR65 is the answer for the gravel rider trying to squeeze out every aerodynamic advantage from their setup.

Designed with racing in mind, the WR65 features a deep New Gen Aero Shape that decreases lateral resistance. With a 65mm deep and stiff profile, the WR65 is designed for experienced bike handlers looking for an aero edge or larger riders.
The rim/wheelset has passed our in-house R&D impact test of 120J(UCI standard 40J).

Evening! I have an old Panasonic road bike that has 27” x 1 1/4” wheels. Would any of your carbon wheels fit this bike? Thanks! -Erick 360.649.7258

LightBicycle 2021/05/28

Hi Erick, Most road wheels on the market now are 700c or 650b (27.5"). They are bigger than your old wheels. So can you find a way to measure the fork spacing for wheels? Thanks, Lightbicycle

hi, am interested in the Falcon WR65 dics wheelset. i would like the DT Swiss 350 hubs. Front need: 12X 100mm thru axle. But the Rear i need : Quick release 135mm. if I order the rear in this configuration, can I later convert this DT Swiss 350 hub to 12 X142 thru axle??

LightBicycle 2020/12/02

Hi Rick, We ran out of DT 350 hubs, will you consider Bitex hubs or other hubs instead? It's easier to get, and has a 135mm rear hub available. Thanks, Lightbicycle
