The WG44 (WG for Wide-Gravel) is our widest ever gravel-oriented carbon rim, meeting the needs of elite gravel riders, racers, and marginal gains enthusiasts. The ample rim width provides a stable platform for wider gravel tires - from 32-47c and wider - allowing you to confidently push both the pace and your limits on all off-road terrain. The precise profile of the WG44 produces consistent airflow across the tire and rim, causing less air interruption and more aero gains. Comfort, control, and race-ready performance: you get it all.
Speed in all Conditions
The WG44 is aero-optimized in width and depth dimensions, delivering a fast-rolling feel previously available only in narrow gravel rim and tire pairings. Featuring an inner width of 30mm and the widest part of the sidewall at 40mm, the WG44 reduces irregular air movements along the rim-tire interface. Air passes the tire and rim concurrently rather than being disrupted prematurely, making the best use of the 44mm aero depth. Even on wider, plusher tires you’ll benefit from this design.

No Fears, All Thrills
The WG44 promises you perfect control and confidence on variable off-road surfaces and in unpredictable winds. With the 30mm width and tubeless capability you can use wide tires at lower pressures for increased traction and comfort. In exposed areas the versatile 44mm depth brings enough aero gains and responsiveness without losing control in crosswinds. Adventure anywhere on the WG44.

Strong and Lightweight
Gravel riding has a broad definition, and the WG44 is built to deliver the best ride whatever your preference. Like all our standard layup carbon rims, these have passed rigorous in-house impact resistance tests of 100J of load with no cracks nor lateral/radial run-outs. The Flyweight version withstands the impacts of 70J. The WG44 rims prove that strong and aero does not equal heavy.
