Elite Wheels NEW Drive G42 Gravel Wheelset – Finally Built for Modern Gravel?
Elite has always made impressive road wheels. I really liked the Drive 40, and the Helix is still the road wheel I’d buy. But their gravel range has always been a bit of a non-event. Nothing wrong with them, just last years trends, at this years price.
But finally, Elite has now made a gravel wheelset that ticks all of the boxes of the modern gravel rider.
Wider, lighter, stiffer, modern titanium hub technology. In this video we take a close look at the all new Elite Wheels Drive G42.

Créé le : 5 septembre 2026Le critique discute des roues de gravier Elitewheels Drive G42, soulignant leur largeur de jante interne plus large de 28 mm, leur conception tubeless et à crochet, l'utilisation de rayons Alpina et d'écrous en laiton, des moyeux redessinés avec corps de roue libre en titane et rochet à 60 dents, et un poids global impressionnant d'environ 1464 g.
