Argonaut Cycles D33 Gravel Wheelset

“Introducing the D33 Gravel Wheelset by Argonaut Cycles, hand-built in Bend, Oregon. Top-notch performance for adventurous rides available separately or as part of Argonaut’s GR3 Gravel Bike. The D33 wheelset is meticulously designed for gravel and adventure riding, boasting the same high standards as all Argonaut’s products.” – Argonaut Cycles

Hookless Carbon Rims

Optimized Durability for Superior Stability

“The D33 Gravel Wheels feature a 33mm rim depth and an impressive 28mm internal rim width, designed to accommodate larger tires. This design enhances traction and compliance on gravel roads or trails. The wider rims also ensure the tire sidewall aligns perfectly with the rim’s edge, reducing the risk of tire roll during cornering or navigating obstacles, thus improving stability and maintaining directional control. Engineered for use with wider tires at a low volume, pairing the hookless D33 wheel with a tire between 45-50mm removes trail chatter, providing a stiff package where it matters.”

Rugged Performance without Compromise

“Weighing in at only 375g per rim and 1269g for the complete wheelset, the D33 Gravel Wheels are lighter than many high-end road wheelsets. This makes them a robust, no-compromise solution for demanding gravel rides, races, and adventures. To complete the package, the D33 gravel wheels incorporate Carbon-Ti hubs and straight-pull DT Aerolite spokes, resulting in a seamless, reliable, and easily serviceable wheel system that delivers a predictable, stiff, yet comfortable riding experience.”
