Lún GRAPID Gravel

CategoryWheels

The Lún GRAPID Gravel wheelset impresses with its low weight, stiffness, and excellent tubeless performance, but its lack of spoke holes complicates repairs, and the absence of European distribution raises logistical concerns. Overall, it offers good value for the price, though long-term reliability and support remain questionable.

Pros

  • Very stiff, ultra-fast, and stable wheelset.1
  • High-quality build and impression.1
  • Tubeless setup is practically perfect and holds air well; mounting is super easy.1
  • Excellent handling off-road and fast on asphalt.1
  • Smooth bearings and good rolling.1
  • Good price-performance ratio.1
  • No spoke breakage experienced.1
  • Looks beautiful.1
  • Very low weight.1
  • Wide internal rim width allows for up to 50mm tires.1

Cons

  • No spoke holes make spoke repair difficult; requires special tool and is impractical for long tours.1
  • No European distribution or service center; issues require shipping or self-repair.1
  • Loud freewheel sound may be too much for some.1
  • Aesthetic lettering ('Type Ready' or 'Climate') on the rim may not be to everyone's taste.1
  • Potential difficulty in getting correct parts (e.g., freehub) due to shipping issues.1
  • Long delivery time due to missing freewheel and customs delays.1
  • System weight limit not clearly stated, potentially low for touring.1

Key Facts

  • Claimed weight around 1413g, but exact measurement unclear.1
  • Rim depth 38mm, inner width 25mm, can accommodate tires up to 50mm wide.1
  • Spoke count: 20 front, 24 rear (or 24/20 front, 24 rear as stated in one source).1
  • Spokes are aluminum (Sapim or Pillar 14/20 due to supply issues).1
  • Bearings are steel ball bearings.1
  • Axles: 12x100mm front, 12x142mm rear.1
  • Brake mount is Centerlock.1
  • Tubeless design has no spoke holes, so no rim tape needed; valve hole is the only access point.1
  • Price: $799 (around 730 euros).1
