"The Pinnacle Race uses a 55mm-deep, hookless carbon rim, a 28mm internal width, and a 33mm external width, optimized for 45mm-plus tires."
"Claimed weight is 1354 grams for the set, split 618g front and 736g rear, which is pretty light for a gravel wheel this deep."
"Both wheelsets lean hard into aero benefits without dragging around the usual deep-section penalty, targeting different cycling disciplines."
Boyd Cycling launches two new 55mm carbon wheelsets: the Pinnacle Race for gravel and the 55 Road Disc SL for road. Both wheelsets feature Boyd's Grade 54 hubs and are designed to maximize aerodynamic benefits while minimizing weight. The Pinnacle Race is specifically tailored for modern gravel racing, utilizing a deep, hookless carbon rim optimized for wider tires. The 55 Road Disc SL targets road cyclists seeking speed without compromising climbing performance. Both wheelsets are hand-built and aim to redefine expectations for deep-section wheels in their respective terrains.
