GR26 Carbon - Gravel
Gravel Performance for Larger Tires…
Bikepacking to full on singletrack assault, bring it on!
The GR26 Carbon features the same profile as our tried and trusted XC26, but with a lighter layup and 28 spokes. It has a generous 26mm ID so you can Excel with tires ranging from 42mm to 50mm and bigger. The smaller diameter of the 650B wheel is ideal for rougher and looser terrain and either size is great for bike packing and tearing up single track.
Rims: $479 each

Bead Lock
All Atomik Carbon rims utilize an angled bead lock to keep the tire bead positioned on the shelf when air is released from the tire and also adds a level of safety if a tire is leaking. This features allows you to refresh sealant without having the tire bead fall into the center of the rim, resulting in a tire that is more difficult to inflate and re-seat.
Hookless Design
The hookless wall thickness is a whopping 3.5mm and designed to help displace impact. The wall thickness is much greater than traditional hookless designs (as shown in the illustration above) and the additional strength provided by the thicker sidewall yields a rim that is light and extremely strong.
Impact Resistant Construction
Atomik Carbon rims feature a layer of composite material that increases the impact strength and helps distribute energy and shock from impacts to the rim (illustrated above) All rims use a blend of Toray 700 and 800 carbon fiber with the Toray 800, which is 25% stronger, used in high
impact areas.
