BACKROADS 36

ALL-ROAD, GRAVEL PERFORMANCE

If you want to improve the way your bike rides and handles, upgrade your wheels, it will transform your ride and give it new lease on life. Most of my clients say it is like riding an new bike. More speed, more compliance, improved handling and most importantly, more fun to ride!

Why Ride BACKROADS 36?

ON or OFF road, our BACKROADS 36 wheels do everything better.

They have the compliance, agility and lively feel of XTRAIL GR combined with the solid, in control feel of GNARLY 25 GR-X.

Compared to our XTRAIL and GNARLY 25 GR-X models (our alloy gravel wheels), they are stronger and more durable. The strength and durability comes from the carbon rims. Using carbon also reduces weight, Backroads 36 are between 70 and 120 grams lighter. It might not sound like much, but the difference in acceleration and handling dynamics is very obvious.

What does this mean for general gravel riding?

They accelerate faster, with less effort, and hold their speed easier making your bike feel lighter and more lively. The added compliance gives you a smoother, more comfortable ride on gravel surfaces by reducing trail chatter and vibration, so you feel more comfortable on the bike.

MORE PERFORMANCE 

BACKROADS 36 carbon wheels are wider (26mm Internal) and deeper (36mm Deep) providing more lateral and torsional stability. On the bike, this translates into improved responsiveness, handling and control, your bike will feel faster, more agile and more stable, so you feel more confident and in control, on and off road.

MORE VERSATILE by Design

This ALL-ROAD model is tubeless ready, giving you total flexibility, convert to tubeless or continue running tubes, the choice is yours. The hooked rim design allows you to choose from a multitude of tyre brands and widths, and the reinforced carbon layering allows you to run your tyres at low or high pressures.
