With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

The Ultimate All-Road Carbon Rim
Designed for riders who refuse to choose between road speed and gravel capability. At just 365 grams, this lightweight carbon rim combines a 25 mm internal width with a versatile 45 mm Aero profile, delivering the perfect balance of speed, stability, and comfort across all terrain. Constructed from high-modulus Toray carbon, it provides exceptional stiffness, strength, and durability while keeping weight impressively low. The rim’s DNA comes directly from our GA40 World Cup–winning platform, refined into a true all-road rim equally at home on fast tarmac or demanding gravel sectors. One rim. Any road. No compromise.

Why we use Alpina Extralite spokes
Italian Alpina Extralite spokes deliver exceptional strength-to-weight performance thanks to their double-butted 2.0–1.7–2.0 mm profile. In our internal testing they consistently outperformed DT Competition and Pillar, Competition Race, making Alpina the logical choice as our new standard spoke. Manufactured from high-grade 302 stainless steel, these spokes offer excellent fatigue resistance, durability, and consistent build quality while keeping weight low. To further improve reliability, we combine them with ABT/ABS patented nipples. This innovative self-locking system uses a nylon insert that completely prevents nipples from loosening over time, while maintaining traditional spoke routing. The result is a wheel that remains stable and secure without requiring special assembly procedures whether built automatically or by hand for riders, this means maximum performance, reliability, and the lowest possible weight.
