In a move to address the evolving needs of cyclists across disciplines, GW has introduced a comprehensive new series of wheelsets tailored for gravel, mountain bike cross-country (MTB XC), and road cycling. The expanded lineup underscores GW’s commitment to performance-driven engineering, manufacturing excellence, and global market responsiveness.
Innovative Carbon and Alloy Wheel Technology
Among the highlights is GW’s new Carbon Gravel Wheelset, developed through a strategic partnership with Marshal Industrial Corp. Designed to strike a balance between lightweight construction, strength, and durability, this wheelset is aimed at the growing community of off-road and adventure riders. Its resilient design and material composition make it a sound option for cyclists seeking dependable performance across rugged terrain.
In a rare configuration, GW also unveiled a 32-inch Alloy MTB XC Wheelset, a size not commonly seen in cross-country mountain biking. The larger diameter offers improved stability and traction, especially beneficial on fast, technical race courses. This wheelset is engineered to support competitive riders seeking enhanced control without compromising speed.
Extensive Rim Range and Ratchet Hubs
Complementing the complete wheelset offerings, GW has also launched an extensive rim range, available in carbon and alloy. These include both sleeve-jointed and welded constructions, each precisely engineered to match specific riding styles and terrain requirements. Every rim is developed with application-specific profiles, reflecting GW’s precision-focused design approach and advanced in-house manufacturing capabilities.
All wheelsets in the new lineup feature GW’s proprietary RCS Hubs (Ratchet Cartridge System). The internal mechanism includes a spring, retention sleeve, and dual drive plates, offering smooth engagement, reduced maintenance, and efficient power transfer. This proprietary system is designed to ensure a reliable, high-performance riding experience across disciplines.
GW’s global assembly infrastructure—with facilities in the USA, Italy, Vietnam, and Taiwan—enables shorter lead times and enhanced logistical flexibility for customers worldwide. The company has also announced plans to begin mass production of wheelsets in Vietnam by 2026, further expanding its global manufacturing footprint.Cyclists and industry professionals can experience the new GW product range at EUROBIKE – Hall 11.1, Booth A26, or explore more online at www.gw-mfg.com.
