"The GMT feels more sprightly... the wheelset just feels more snappy and precise in general... the GMT feels like it does a better job of putting all your energy directly into the trail. It's a very pleasurable sensation."

In contrast to the rigid nature of metal spokes, our braided composite spoke excels in dissipating vibration, absorbing road and trail chatter and delivering a smoother, more comfortable ride. This is a crucial advancement, especially considering that metal spokes, with their limited vibration-damping capabilities, can contribute to rider fatigue/discomfort and decrease control, confidence, and performance.

Our braided carbon spokes are 50% lighter than steel spokes. This weight reduction contributes to a lighter overall wheel, which can improve acceleration, climbing efficiency, and handling.

Material Density: Carbon fiber has a much lower density than steel. Density measures how much mass is contained in a given volume. Since carbon fiber is less dense, it can achieve the necessary strength and stiffness at a much lower weight than steel.
