DK Composite Gravel Wave 45 Wheelset
Description
Fast. Stable. Built for the long haul.
The Gravel Wave 45 is your go-anywhere, do-anything carbon wheelset—purpose-built to handle the evolving demands of modern gravel. Whether you're racing ribbons of fire road, loaded up for a week off-grid, or just getting lost in the backblocks, the Wave 45 balances low weight, responsiveness, and sheer durability in one brutally capable package.
Deep, but not too deep: The 45mm depth hits the sweet spot—enough aero to cheat the wind, but shallow enough to stay composed on washboard descents and rough corners.
Wide where it counts: With a 25mm internal and 32mm external rim width, this platform is perfect for today’s high-volume gravel tires, offering better support, improved traction, and a smoother ride feel across varied terrain.
Tubeless-ready with hooked rim design: Secure tire retention at low pressures. Tape comes pre-installed (valves not included).
Reinforced where it matters: DK’s spoke hole reinforcement tech strengthens the most stressed part of the rim without adding weight—holding tension under load and keeping power transfer sharp and clean.
Ring drive hub internals: Instant, confident engagement from a robust ratchet system. Fewer moving parts, more durability, better torque handling—just set and forget.
Weights (with rim tape, no valves):
Front: 682g
Rear: 800g
Total: 1,482g
Gravel doesn’t have to be a compromise. The Wave 45 gives you the aero edge, rugged build, and all-surface agility to go harder, longer, and faster.
