These aerodynamic wonders are here to elevate your cycling experience to new heights. If you're a passionate cyclist looking for the perfect companion, look no further. These wheels are designed to perfection, combining strength, performance, and aerodynamics that will enable you to take on new challenges and enjoy cycling.
Lightweight wonders with optimal balance
In the world of cycling, weight is a crucial factor. The Explorator II GCR40 wheelset weighs only 1016 grams for the rear wheel and 852 grams for the front wheel, ensuring a harmonious balance. This optimal weight provides a robust and responsive feel without unnecessary bulk. With these wheels, you will experience the perfect combination of power and performance, allowing you to effortlessly push your limits. Whether you're a weekend rider or a dedicated road training enthusiast, these wheels are the ideal choice to fully enjoy your cycling experience.
Rims that redefine durability
The heart of every wheelset lies in the rims, and the Explorator II GCR40 does not disappoint. Made from a specific Niobium alloy with a T10 heat treatment, these rims are ultra-strong and durable. The 40mm aero profile offers an inner width of 21mm and a deep 9mm inner drop. This design not only makes it easy to install tricky tires but also ensures a better fit for wider tires. The rims provide excellent stability for tires up to 40c. What truly sets these wheels apart, however, is that they are tubeless ready, right out of the box. Say goodbye to tire installation issues and hello to puncture-resistant rides with less rolling resistance.

These exceptional wheels are built with Belgian Sapim Leader spokes, made from Swedish stainless steel, and combined with black nipples. The result? A wheelset that not only excels in performance but also in value. A package that's hard to beat.

Additionally, you can choose freehub bodies for Shimano HG/Micro Spline, Sram XDR, or Campagnolo/Ekar, making them incredibly versatile and compatible with various setups.
