Since launching the wide-gravel WG44, we've received customer feedback asking for a deeper, more aerodynamic model. Enter the WG55 disc: at 55mm deep and an internal width of 32mm, this rim is built for high performace gravel riding where every aerodynamic gain counts!
All-Terrain Adventures
The WG55 disc features a 32mm internal width, ideal for popular gravel tire sizes from 42C to 50C and beyond. This design provides a stable platform for wide tires at lower pressures, delivering superior grip, reduced rolling resistance, and a smoother ride. Whether you're tackling rough roads, dirt, gravel, or singletrack, the WG55 disc gives you the confidence to push your limits and ride faster.
Robust yet Lightweight
Our engineers meticulously crafted the WG55 to balance durability and lightweight performance. After extensive testing, both Standard and Flyweight versions are ready to conquer the toughest gravel challenges. Choose between two 55mm rim weights: the 460g Standard (supports riders up to 135kg or aggressive use) and the 400g Flyweight (designed for riders under 90kg and less aggressive terrain).
Aero Gravel Performance
The WG55 disc is engineered to optimize aerodynamic performance for gravel racing. Its wide rim design ensures seamless airflow between tires and rims, while the 55mm depth minimizes turbulence. This depth also enhances rim stiffness, delivering efficient power transfer during sprints. These are made for speed!
Hybrid Hook Design
The hybrid hook combines the stuctural benefits of hookless rims with higher pressure tolerance. This design ensures easy tire installation, secure tire seating, and minimizes the risk of tire burping or blowoffs on rough trails.
