Carbon-Ti X-Wheel World Runner 27 SLR2 Gravel Wheelset -

Carbon-Ti is pleased to announce the birth of a new major collaboration with the French company Duke Racing Wheels by Philippe Jacquinet. 

Duke Racing Wheels produces high-tech carbon fiber rims, and supply them to multi-titled professional teams for years.

The collaboration foresees the furnishing of the latest generation of MTB, Road, and Gravel wheels to offer a complete range of Carbon-Ti wheels.

Sapim CX-Ray rays have been chosen for all the fittings to guarantee maximum performance, and for the ease of finding spare parts.

We will supply the wheels with the latest 100% made-in-Italy Carbon-Ti Straight Pull hubs.

The 2023 version includes mechanical parts subjected to a special surface hardening treatment.

The mechanics boast SKF-sealed bearings of the highest quality and a preload adjustment that ensures an always optimal setup.

Demanding customers who don't want to compromise can opt for the special Ceramic Speed option on any wheel.

Gravel wheels are fitted out as standard with center lock matte blacks hubs. Nevertheless, it is possible to have six holes i.s. hubs on request, and choose different anodized colors for them. Warning: These options may require longer waiting times.

The customization of the wheels is completed by choosing the colored decals applied to the rims. 

Decal kits colours: Stock wheels Black (optional: silver, white, mirror gloss (chrome), gold, red, blue)

World Runner Carbon SLR2 rims have an even wider 25 mm channel and are suitable for more extreme off-road use. 

They have been used with satisfaction in world-class competitions despite the 27 mm profile rims thanks to their extremely low weight.

X-Wheel World Runner 27 SLR2 boasts a record weight of 1175 grams only, guaranteeing exceptional performance for those who usually tackle very technical trails and steep slopes.

Asymmetric drilling (2 mm offset) allows a more homogeneous spoke tension on both flanges of the hubs for greater overall rigidity of the wheels.
