High vs Low: Best Gravel Wheel Upgrade

“The bike feels brighter, lighter, snappier, more responsive, it just feels...leveled up."

F+B 25 GR Wheelset Weview: The Most Unique Gravel Wheels You Can Buy

"Instead of a smooth ride, what I immediately noticed about the F+B 25 GR is how alive the bike felt. When I first reviewed the Ribble I specifically talked about how it wasn't exactly the most exciting ride. With these wheels the whole package really perked up. If the specs said these wheels were closer to 1300 grams, I'd absolutely believe it. They feel precise, they feel fun, and they have character. Whatever descriptors you want touse, this is how you want your set of wheels to feel."

Josh Ross

This Gear Got Me Through Both a Gritty Gravel Race and a Meandering Bike Tour

"I swapped out the stock aluminum wheelset for a set of silky smooth carbon wheels from Forge+Bond, which dropped the total weight of the bike to under 20 pounds, a benefit I enjoyed as much on the climbs at La Strada as when it was loaded down with all my camping gear."

Speed First

Make every pedal stroke count. The F+B 25 XC is lightweight and stiff where you need it without sacrificing compliance in the rough sections. FUSIONFIBER® thermoplastic carbon soaks up vibration creating a smoother faster ride on all terrain.

  • FUSIONFIBER® is made with long-chain nylon polymers instead of the brittle and toxic epoxies and resins used in typical carbon fiber. This makes it possible to absorb impacts through microscopic flexing in the fibers and to radially dissipate shock throughout the rim.
  • Built with Sapim CX-Ray spokes the best aerodynamic elliptic spoke available.

Comfort is Endurance

Speed is only good if you can finish the race strong. Vibration damping means less fatigue over the course of a race, allowing you to ride longer and faster.

  • FUSIONFIBER® thermoplastic carbon soaks up high frequency vibration better than traditional carbon fiber cutting down on rider fatigue.

Ride Hard Without Worry

Speed and comfort only matter if the wheels are durable enough to hold up. The F+B 25 XC is engineered to ride harder and hold up to the rigors of modern XC riding.

  • F+B’s unique NSX design allows for weight savings while increasing durability and strength.
