WTB CZR Gravel Wheels

The 3mm offset in the rim profile allows for more balanced spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides. This results in a stronger, stiffer wheel that handles better under load compared to traditional symmetrical rims.

Yes, the CZR rims are designed specifically for tubeless use. The hooked bead profile provides secure tire retention, making the setup process straightforward and reliable for gravel riding.

WTB engineered these wheels with reinforced spoke beds and bead hooks while thinning out other areas to save weight. This specific layup creates a compliant ride that effectively absorbs road chatter, which helps reduce fatigue on long gravel rides.

The rear hub features a 6-pawl design, which provides quick, responsive engagement. This ensures efficient power transfer when you accelerate out of corners or tackle steep, technical climbs.

These are 700c wheels with a 12x142mm thru-axle spacing and Centerlock disc brake compatibility. Please verify that your frame matches these specific axle and brake standards before purchasing.

The 23mm internal width is optimized for modern gravel tires, typically ranging from 30mm to 45mm wide. This width provides excellent sidewall support, allowing you to run lower pressures without the tire squirming in corners.
