Description
The Lightweight Carbon Adventure and Gravel Wheelset with a Suit of Armour.
Whether you're spending long days in the gravel, loading your bike up on an adventure or racing cross in the mud, the GCi wheelset has your back. Designed to excel in high impact environments, our Innegra equipped carbon rims can shrug off the hardest of hits. The GCi gravel bike wheelset is tough enough for rim strikes on challenging terrain yet light enough for 'cross racing all winter long.
Redefining Carbon Wheels.
Ride without fear - thanks to the addition of TeXtreme® Innegra into the layup of our rims, we've developed a rim that has 75% higher impact resistance than standard carbon rims of the same profile*. The GCi carbon wheels are significantly more resistant to wear and tear and less prone to catastrophic failure.
Our Innegra™ equipped GCi rims also have 50% more vertical compliance than standard carbon rim**. As a result they exhibit high energy absorption and superior vibration damping, with none of harsh stiffness associated with carbon. These are lightweight carbon wheels, that have the sought-after ride characteristic of an premium alloy wheelset.
Durable Doesn't Have to Mean Heavy.
At just 1690g, GCi is a lightweight, reactive and durable 700c wheelset that can handle a beating. Now you can forget about protecting your wheels and concentrate on finding your flow in challenging trail conditions.

**In rim only vertical deflection tests compared to the same rim shape manufactured with 100% T700 Unidirectional carbon fibre, the GCi rim deflected 50% more, without failure.

“Tough, interesting looking gravel wheelset that performs well, with a comfortable ride, and will take plenty of abuse”
“Sector says the addition of the Innegra takes away the harshness that you find on many carbon rims, and it is true that these offer a beautiful ride”
“With an internal rim width of 24mm (31mm external), fitting a selection of 40mm gravel tyres tubeless was a doddle”

"It’s reassuring to know they are likely to shrug off the type of unfortunate big hits you’ll ever encounter on a gravel ride though."
"Beneath the loud exterior is a genuinely good, well built and solid wheelset, backed by a lifetime warranty that’ll give you peace of mind when you next clang down a rocky descent."
"Tubeless aficionados will be delighted that Sector go the extra mile, not only fitting tubeless rim tape, but also shipping with a pair of tubeless valves and a bottle of Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex sealant."
