Wider rims are better for gravel riding because they provide more tyre support, increased stability, and better control on loose terrain. GNARLY GRVL 25 gravel rims 25mm internal is designed around modern 40–50mm tyres, extracting the full potential out of your gravel tyres.
Yes, in real-world conditions wider rims are faster because they allow you to run lower tyre pressures, which reduces bouncing and helps maintain momentum. Instead of losing speed over rough terrain, the bike rolls smoother and more efficiently, which is where real gains are made.
Low profile rims are more compliant, meaning they absorb bumps rather than bouncing over them. This improves comfort, keeps the tyre in contact with the ground, and allows you to carry speed more consistently across rough surfaces.
For most gravel riding, yes. Aero rims only offer measurable benefits at higher speeds, typically above 40 km/h, which is rarely sustained on gravel. In contrast, deeper aero rims tend to feel harsher, bounce more on rough terrain, and reduce control. Low profile rims are smoother, more comfortable, and ultimately faster where it counts.
Yes, GNARLY alloy rims are built specifically for rough gravel conditions, including corrugations, loose surfaces, and long-distance riding. They are designed to balance strength, compliance, and durability so they perform consistently across a wide range of terrain.
Gnarly's advanced alloy rims naturally offer good compliance, which helps absorb vibration and reduce rider fatigue over long distances. This makes them a great option for riders prioritising comfort and reliability on rough or unpredictable surfaces.
There is a limit to how wide alloy rims can be before weight and efficiency are compromised. Increasing width adds material, which increases weight and can negatively affect ride feel. GNARLY rims are designed to strike the right balance between width, strength, weight, and performance.
Yes, all GNARLY gravel rims are fully tubeless compatible. They are designed for easy setup, reliable sealing, and the ability to run lower tyre pressures for improved grip, comfort, and control.
GNARLY gravel rims are optimised for tyres in the 40–50mm range, which provides the best balance of speed, comfort, and control. This combination allows you to maximise performance across a wide range of gravel conditions.
Yes, upgrading your rims will noticeably improve ride quality. You’ll experience a smoother ride, better control, and improved speed over rough terrain, all of which contribute to a more efficient and enjoyable ride.
