New Age Gravel The jury is in: Gravel riding and racing is here to stay, with increasingly popular events blanketing the globe – along with purpose-built bikes to match. We?ve long-since dispelled the naysayers, usually by taking them on our favorite off-piste routes out our back door into the Blue Ridge Mountains. Following up on our groundbreaking Jocassee 650b hookless gravel wheel, we present the all-new competition-ready Pinnacle. Designed around a 700c tire setup, the Pinnacle follows down the trail the Jocassee blazed, but with a more-traditional wheel diameter and the litany of aerodynamically-friendly tire choices it affords. Designed around a tubeless, hookless rim profile, the Pinnacle uses a wide rim inner diameter (23.4mm) for a perfect traction-embracing lightbulbed tire profile, ideally for gravel and cyclocross tires between 32-40mm in width, as well as higher volume 28mm tubeless road tires. Like the Jocassee, it uses a 36mm rim depth, giving the wheel far more aerodynamic aptitude than a comparable mountain bike hoop at the higher speeds typical of a gravel race. Because the Pinnacle is a disc-specific wheel, we've been able to shed a few grams at the rim itself, reducing rotating mass without compromising safety, and the wheel?s unique 2.8mm offset amplifies spoke balance under heavy load. The end result of our gravel-driven tweaks and refinements? The perfect no-compromise wheel for the tubeless cyclocross, gravel, and high volume tubeless road tires! The Pinnacle hookless set weighs in at 1560 grams built with the Boyd Cycling Quest disc brake hubs. 29mm wide / 23.4mm Internal Hookless Bead Ideal for 32mm to 40mm tires Thru axle compatibility 1560g complete weight 36mm Deep, 29mm Wide, 22mm Internal Tubeless ready rim bed Offset spoke holes SAPIM Brass nipples SAPIM CX Ray spokes Any combination of thru-axle specification.
