Performance & Ride Characteristics
Vibration Damping: These textile elements provide 200% more vibration damping compared to steel. They heavily absorb high-frequency road buzz and blunt structural impacts across rough gravel.
Tensile Strength: They feature a strength-to-weight ratio that is 12 times higher than steel. They are highly resilient against trail debris, snapping, or fatigue failures over extended use.
Compliance vs Stiffness: While highly compliant vertically to smoothen bumpy terrain, they retain excellent lateral stiffness and acceleration snappiness when brought up to full, settled tension.
Some wheels are built for one thing. The WG44 was built for everything. Aero optimisation has long been the domain of road racing — but gravel riding demands speed too, just across surfaces that punish the unprepared. The WG44 bridges that gap. With a 30mm internal width and 40mm sidewall profile, the rim-tire interface is engineered to calm the turbulent, irregular airflow that robs conventional gravel pairings of speed. Cleaner air. Less drag. A faster ride without changing a thing about how you ride.
At 44mm deep, the WG44 hits a calculated sweet spot. Deep enough to deliver meaningful aero gains on exposed roads and open gravel, shallow enough to stay planted and predictable when crosswinds bite or singletrack tightens. Control was never sacrificed for speed — both were designed in from the start.
Whether you're pinning it at a gravel race, loaded up for a bikepacking expedition, or chasing adventure on an unmarked trail, the WG44 adapts without compromise. This is the wheel you reach for when you don't know exactly what the day holds — and you don't want to be held back regardless.
Fast everywhere. Ready for anything.
