High-Performance Road & Gravel Wheels — Push Your Limits

Discover the perfect blend of speed, durability, and versatility in our Road & Gravel Wheels collection. At Chain Reaction Cycles Canada, we carry an expertly curated selection designed to enhance performance across tarmac, gravel, and mixed terrain. Whether you're chasing personal bests, exploring forest roads, or commuting year‑round, our wheels deliver the reliability and ride quality you need.

Why Choose Road & Gravel Wheels?

When your terrain varies — from smooth asphalt to rough gravel sectors — these wheels offer:

• Aerodynamic speed on pavement, with optimized rim profiles for low drag and responsive cornering.
• Robust strength for gravel, including wider rims, higher volume tires, and durable build quality to manage rocks, ruts, and jolts.
• All‑weather versatility, ideal for riders who need balanced performance rather than ultra‑light equipment.
  
  

Explore Wheel Options for Every Rider

From elite racers to adventurous gravel grinders and commuters, our collection has road and gravel wheels to match your needs:

Premium Carbon Options

Light, stiff, and aerodynamic, carbon fibre wheels improve your ride efficiency on climbs and flats alike. Many models offer tubeless-ready rims and wide internal widths — perfect for comfortable gravel setup or fast road riding.

Alloy & Hybrid Designs

Alloy wheels deliver outstanding value with excellent impact resistance and reliability. Hybrid road/gravel wheels combine alloy strengths with mid-depth rims to handle mixed terrain with confidence.

Gravel-Specific Builds

Wheels with ultra-wide internal rims (e.g. 25–30 mm) accommodate wide tyres (40–45 mm+), allowing lower pressure for better traction and comfort off-road. Reinforced hubs and spokes ensure durability over harsher terrain.

Key Features to Consider

Rim Width & Depth

Wider rim widths improve tyre profile and stability on gravel. Deeper-section rims provide aerodynamic advantages on pavement—choose based on your primary terrain and goals.

Material & Build Quality

• Carbon: Higher stiffness-to-weight ratio, ideal for performance rides.
• Alloy: Durable, impact-resistant, and easier to repair in remote locations.
• Hybrid: Combines elements of both for balanced performance and reliability.
  
  

Hub Quality & Engagement

Choose wheels with polished bearings and reliable freehub engagement systems (low-pawl drop) for responsive acceleration and smooth rolling.

Tubeless Compatibility

Most high-performance road/gravel wheels now support tubeless setups for improved traction, fewer flats, and lower tire pressure flexibility.
