Wheels DUKE Baccara WRX AERO 42-48 / Shimano HG-R

1,520 g. Baccara WRX AERO 42 / 48 is our Performance carbon gravel wheelset for fast gravel and rolling courses.

It uses a differentiated front / rear layout: the 43 mm external-width AERO 42 front rim improves the tyre-to-rim transition with modern gravel tyres, while the deeper WRX 48 rear adds useful inertia to help carry speed.

This Ready to Ride build features DUKE Core hubs, a differentiated SAPIM CX-Ray front / CX-Sprint rear spoke setup and a Shimano HG11 freehub body (also available with SRAM XDR).

Key technologies & features:

28 mm internal width
AERO 42 front rim: 43 mm external width, optimised around 40 to 45 mm gravel tyres
WRX 48 rear rim: 48 mm depth to improve speed retention
Performance carbon construction: a balanced mix of efficiency, durability and accessibility
2 mm offset
Hooked / Tubeless Ready
700C, disc brake

Result:
A fast and versatile Performance gravel wheelset that improves aerodynamic integration at the front while adding useful inertia at the rear.

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)
