Gravel wheels are one of the most important components to guarantee performance, durability, and comfort on varied terrain. They must be both light for long distances, robust to resist impacts, and compatible with versatile tires. Here is a detailed guide to the types, characteristics, and brands of wheels suitable for gravel bike.

a. Aluminum wheels
- Advantages: robust, affordable, and versatile
- Disadvantages: slightly heavier than carbon wheels
- Recommended use: long adventures or very rough terrain.
b. Carbon wheels

- Recommended use: competitions, long distances, or fast gravel.
c. Tubeless-ready wheels

- High (50 mm and more): better aerodynamics, but less common in gravel.
Braking system
