The GRD23 wheel targets the "sweet spot" between today's high-end road wheels and gravel wheels. It is more flexible than the stiffest carbon road wheels, stiffer than heavy-duty gravel wheels, and lighter.

Rims:.

CSS Composites, which manufactures the rims, was founded by Joe Stanish, who has a long history of developing composite components for the bicycle industry. He has been working with composites for 30 years.
