PRO-Lite: Gavia - 700c Carbon Clincher

Description:  The Gavia rim was developed in co-operation with Gigantex to be the first full carbon clincher in the world that allows maximum tire pressure, where all other alternatives restrict the pressure you can inflate your tires to.

The Pro-Lite Bolzano hub is designed to provide maximum power to output ratios, whilst offering superior wheel stability and structure. When coupled with the unique Pro-Lite spoke made from Swedish Stainless Steel, you have a combination that is everything the rider needs.

This braking surface design will not distort under braking. With the introduction of a ceramic coating onto the braking surface, combined with the Pro-Lite brake pad supplied you need never worry about braking performance again, in the wet or dry.
