Gravel riding pushes bikes and components to their limits, demanding a unique blend of road-speed efficiency and off-road durability. Drawing from the success of our acclaimed Synthesis MTB wheels, our Synthesis Gravel wheelsets are engineered to provide an unparalleled ride experience on mixed terrain. The key is a design philosophy centered on controlled compliance. Both front and rear wheels are built to absorb vibrations and impacts from rough dirt roads, which significantly improves comfort and reduces rider fatigue on long rides. A wider rim profile allows you to run wider tires at lower pressures, further enhancing comfort, traction, and stability. This added stability gives you more confidence when descending on loose gravel or navigating technical sections of trail. While comfort is a priority, so is performance. The wheels are engineered to be laterally stiff, ensuring responsive handling and efficient power transfer when you get on the pedals. They provide a lively feel without the harshness often associated with performance wheels. Built for durability, Synthesis Gravel wheels are ready for everything from local loops to multi-day bikepacking epics. They are the perfect foundation for any rider looking to explore further and ride faster over challenging terrain with more comfort and control.
