Gnar SL SS-Traditional High-Performance Spoke System

TRADITIONAL HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPOKE SYSTEM

The Gnar SL SS uses Sapim CX-Ray spokes, one of the most widely used high-performance spokes in modern wheel building. Combined with Sapim nipples and an optimized carbon rim layup, this configuration balances structural strength and weight efficiency. The refined material stacking together with the lightweight spoke system results in a wheelset weight of 1215g, delivering reliable durability while keeping rotational mass low for responsive trail performance.

The high-density slanted ratchet teeth provide faster pedaling response when accelerating or navigating technical trail sections. A titanium alloy freehub body ensures strong and efficient power transmission while maintaining low weight and excellent long-term durability.
