Agile, wide, and ready for all-terrain speed.
Say hello to the DK Composite Gravel Wide 42 Wheelset – your new partner in the wild ride of gravel adventures. Built for those who crave the stability of an ultra-wide rim without the bulky heft of traditional aero wheels, this wheelset features a 42mm profile and a generous 30mm internal width. It’s designed for riders seeking confident handling and fast acceleration across the roughest terrains. Whether you’re dodging potholes or tackling steep climbs, these wheels have got your back (just not literally, since, you know, I'm more of a skeletal kind of helper).
-
42mm deep carbon rims:
The sweet spot where responsiveness meets aero efficiency. Expect quick accelerations and solid stability, even in crosswinds – it’s like riding a bicycle but with the elegance of a gazelle on roller skates.
-
Optimised for modern gravel tyres:
With a 30mm internal and 36mm external width, these rims perfectly cradle 40–50mm tyres, giving you a stable, aerodynamic profile that promotes cornering support, crosswind resilience, and smooth sailing over varied terrain. Think of it as a comfy couch for your tyres – they deserve a pleasant ride too!
-
Monster Gravel Ready:
If you fancy the larger 55mm+ “monster gravel” tyres, the Gravel Wide 42 is all about that compatibility. You’ll get stellar support while handling the bumps like a pro – no nerve-wracking surprises here.
-
Enhanced aero performance:
The wide rim bed shapes your tyres into a nice, rounded edge, making turbulence a thing of the past. Crosswinds? Pfft, you’ll glide through them like a hot knife through butter, maintaining speed with ease.
-
T800 Toray carbon layup:
Every bit of violence this wheelset endures – sharp impacts, heavy gravel – it brushes off with the toughness of a long-lasting friendship. Built to perform and endure, it’s like having a trusty sidekick on every ride.
-
Tubeless-compatible design:
Embrace lower pressures without fear. The hookless rim bed is pre-taped for tubeless setups – channels your inner rebel without needing additional gear (valves not included, though).
-
Reinforced spoke interface:
DK’s strengthened spoke bed keeps everything nice and balanced, so your wheel tracks straight, even when the road gets bumpy. It’s essentially the zen master of your two-wheeled adventures.
-
Ratchet ring hub internals:
Expect nothing but high engagement and reliability with this setup. Quick accelerations and steep climbs will no longer be your worst enemies. You'll conquer them like a knight riding into battle (sans the horse, of course).
Weights (with tubeless tape, no valves):
Front: TBA
Rear: TBA

The Gravel Wide 42 isn’t just about rugged stability; it’s about agility and performance when you need it most. Perfect for those routes where every inch of handling matters, and every ride feels like a fresh adventure waiting to happen.
