Wheel(s) DUKE SIERRA Æra W 42 / DT SWISS 350 CL
From 1310 g* of all-round aero for wide tyres. Sierra Æra W42 is our Elite carbon Æra Wide gravel wheelset, designed for fast races, varied courses and 40 to 45 mm tyres.
It combines Æra relief, 43 mm external width and stable crosswind behaviour to improve real-world speed on fast tracks without compromising steering precision. Paired at the front with a Sierra Æra 48 rear, it forms an all-round race configuration; as a W42/W42 wheelset, it prioritises stability and ease of use.
Key processes & technologies:
- 28 mm internal width optimised for modern gravel tyres**
- Æra CFD profile: signature relief reducing drag by up to 10% vs a smooth rim, with no loss of crosswind stability
- Wide profile: 43 mm external width to optimise the tyre-rim transition
- SLR5: advanced lay-up of Toray T1100 carbon fibres and aerospace-grade resin
- SpokeCore: moulded spoke holes (24h) for a more homogeneous structure
- VFP: clearcoat-free finish, more durable and more environmentally friendly
- DRC: vibration filtering for increased comfort and precision
- AntiPinch: anti-pinch rim beads to help prevent tyre cuts on impacts
- Hooked / Tubeless Ready: optimum safety and compatibility with modern tyres
Result:
A wide-tyre aero gravel wheelset, fast and stable, built for all-round gravel racing, either as a differentiated Sierra Æra Wide front / Æra rear configuration or as a matched W42/W42 setup.
* Indicative weight +/- 30 g for a matched W42/W42 wheelset built with NonPlus CL SP hubs and Sapim CX-Ray spokes.
** Optimal aero tyre width: 40 mm <> 45 mm. Compatible width: 40 mm <> 2.4".

Supplier info
SIERRA-ÆRA-W42-DT350CL
All Duke by JPRACINGBIKE1 wheels are assembled by hand in Vendée, France.
Crash replacement
We offer a crash replacement programme for carbon wheels. In case of accidents or heavy falls, violent shocks can damage your rim and make it impossible to use. With our Crash Replacement offer we offer you a service that allows you to replace your rim under special conditions: You get a 50 percent discount on the price of UD carbon & 3k Carbon rim, as well as the parts and the disassembly/reassembly. This offer is valid (for life) for an unlimited period of time for DUKE carbon rims and is transferable in the event of sale of the wheels to a third party.
Sapim Spokes
Sapim is THE go-to spoke brand, manufactured in Belgium since 1918. Several spoke models are available, depending on compatibility with your riding style and chosen rim:- Sapim CX-Ray: flat spoke, very light, durable, aerodynamic, and offers a very dynamic ride feel (309g / 64 pcs / 292mm)
- Sapim CX-Sprint: flat spoke similar to the CX-Ray but thicker for even more stiffness (373g / 64 pcs / 292mm)
- Sapim D-Light: round spoke, light and durable, with a central section diameter of 1.65mm, good value for money (344g / 64 pcs / 292mm)
- Sapim Race: round spoke, strong and stiff with a central section diameter of 1.8mm (408g / 64 pcs / 292mm)
Nipples
Aluminum nipples with locking thread, available in 16 colors: black, red, silver, metallic grey, blue, aqua blue, gold, light gold, dark green, mint syrup green, lime green, lilac, pink, fuchsia pink, orange, and oil slick.
Accessories
The wheels are delivered fully assembled with valves and rim tape installed, four spare spokes and nipples, and an assembly certificate.
