I’m running 25mm ID 32mm OD rims that are 50mm deep on my gravel bike right now. Chris King hubs, had them built. They’re not particularly light at 1600 grams, but they hold speed really really well. Holding speed is important for me because some US gravel races can be several hours long. Running 47mm Pathfinder Pro’s. Gravel is by far and away the hottest cycling segment in the US.

Sounds like a sweet setup. We totally agree that gravel is where it's at right now!

Looks interesting but comparing it to going from a climbing wheel (35ish deep) to a deep front (80-90) and rear disc is insane, because as it says in video gravel speeds are slower so that even if your wheels are somewhat faster than others the speeds aren't high enough

Sweetspot is going to be wider than 40 mm in the near future. There are videos on 50 mm performing better than less wide tires on gravel, as long as casing is supple.

The specs says 40mm Tire is optimal. Is that measured 40mm or labeled 40mm? My 35mm GK's measure 38mm on 25mm internals, so the 35mm GK's might plump out to 39/39.5mm on the FKT's?

@@rayF4rio all tyre widths are stated not measured. You can find details in our white paper around measured tyre widths across all makes/models tested

Nice to have aero wheels for touring too

You guys, no direct link to the product ? Come on… in the description also put the specs? Come on
