Meticulous attention to quality translates into artisanal assembly, using first-class components, maintaining a perfect balance between performance and price.

INNOVATION IN THE DETAILS

The carbon rims with 3K Twill finish, inspired by the Formula 1 universe, pair perfectly with flat triple-forged spokes and ergal nipples. This combination of elements creates a high-performance wheel, designed to excel on any terrain.

The GDR Carbon are born from an in-depth analysis of the wheel market, adopting a Hookless rim to guarantee maximum riding comfort. This innovative shoulder design allows the clincher to maintain a perfect shape, much like that of a tubular, for a smoother and more controlled ride than ever before.

ERGAL AND ITALIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP

The hubs, the beating heart of the GDR Carbon, are born from an Ergal bar and are machined with millimetric precision through CNC technology. With 24 holes for straight-head spokes and the freewheel system, available for any type of group, it uses 3 ratchets positioned at 120° for unparalleled smoothness and reliability. Our hubs host high quality and precision sealed bearings, representing the excellence of Italian mechanics.
