SKU: CARV-GXC Carver Bikes GXC Disc Brake Carbon Clincher Wheelset

The all-new Carver GXC Disc Brake Carbon Clincher Wheelset takes the place of the old ULXC 29er wheelset. The ULXC 29er was originally designed for XC and marathon MTB racing but it found a niche in gravel for its light weight and durability. If you’re looking for maximum volume for lightest weight then this is the wheelset for you.

The “G” in GXC stands for gravel as in all gravel all the time and is for when you know you won’t be running a tire smaller than 38mm or over 50psi. You give up some tire size range over our other wheels but in turn you get the highest volume and lightest wheelset in our clincher offerings.

We stuck with Novatec hubs for their proven performance and value but switched to a Center Lock disc version for quicker rotor changes. Tried and true J-bend bladed black spokes with external black alloy nipples allow for easy maintenance in the field. 28 hole laced 2 cross front and rear.

The GXC rim has the same volume as the Swiss Army Knife AXC but is 100g lighter per set. It’s even 20g per set lighter than the feather light ULXC 29er it replaces. 20mm depth, 30mm external width, 24mm internal width, hookless bead and finished in matte UD. They are tubeless compatible and ship with tubeless tape, tubeless valves and even a couple spare spokes.
