UpVine Gravel Disc Carbon Wheelset
UPVINE Gravel Disc Carbon Wheelset
Built Beyond the Tarmac.
The UPVINE Gravel Disc has been engineered for riders who demand road-bike efficiency with the confidence to tackle rougher terrain. Combining lightweight carbon construction, modern wide rim dimensions and UPVINE's own precision-engineered hub technology, it's a wheelset designed to thrive on everything from fast gravel racing to all-day mixed-surface adventures.
Rather than simply adapting a road wheel for gravel use, the Gravel Disc has been purpose-built around the unique demands of modern gravel riding. Wide tyres, rough terrain and high-impact riding require exceptional strength, stability and reliability—and that's exactly what the Gravel delivers.
Constructed from premium Toray T700 & T800 carbon fibre, custom lightweight stainless steel spokes and UPVINE's in-house developed hub system, every component has been engineered to deliver confidence wherever the ride takes you.

Designed for Modern Gravel
Modern gravel riding demands more than simply fitting larger tyres.
The Gravel Disc has been designed around a generous 30mm internal rim width, providing excellent support for modern gravel tyres between 45mm and 55mm. The wider rim profile improves tyre stability through corners, increases rider confidence on loose surfaces and enhances comfort over long distances without compromising rolling speed.
Whether you're racing gravel, exploring remote tracks or linking together roads and trails, the Gravel Disc 45 delivers the versatility today's riders expect.
Built Around Strength
At the heart of every Gravel Disc is UPVINE's own lightweight hub, designed and manufactured entirely in-house.
Machined from an ultra-high-strength aluminium alloy developed from the same material family used in advanced aerospace applications, the hub delivers exceptional strength while maintaining low overall weight.
Key structural performance includes:
- Spoke hole pull-out strength: 4900N
- Freehub torque capacity: 180–200Nm
- Successfully completed 60,000-cycle durability testing
- High-precision UPVINE bearings
- Long-life high-performance grease
The result is smooth rolling performance and exceptional long-term reliability, even under demanding riding conditions.
ConicalSync™ Tangent Engagement
Every Gravel wheelset features UPVINE's ConicalSync™ 60T Tangent Engagement System.
The unique conical tangent ratchet provides an exceptionally quick 6° engagement angle, ensuring immediate power transfer whenever you accelerate or need to apply power over technical terrain.
Unlike conventional radial ratchet systems, the tangent tooth profile increases the engagement contact area by approximately 10%, improving stability, durability and torque capacity.
Purpose-Built for Gravel
The Gravel Disc uses UPVINE's own custom-engineered lightweight stainless steel spokes, weighing just 3.7g each.
Despite their low weight, each spoke delivers a failure strength of 3500N, providing outstanding durability for demanding gravel riding.
To further improve long-term reliability, every spoke is paired with a titanium alloy nipple, offering exceptional corrosion resistance and eliminating the corrosion issues commonly associated with traditional spoke nipples. The result is a wheelset built to withstand wet winters, dusty race conditions and years of hard riding.
An asymmetric rim profile carefully balances spoke tension across both sides of the wheel, increasing lateral stiffness and stability while helping the wheel remain true under heavy loads.
