SMOOTHER, LIGHTER, STRONGER.

GULO wheels, featuring triaxially braided carbon spokes, represent the future of bike wheel technology. Our wheels offer exceptional strength and reliability while reducing weight by up to 50% compared to traditional steel spokes, delivering a noticeably smoother, more responsive ride.

WHY UPGRADE YOUR RIDE TO GULO?

Gulo offers a smoother, stronger and lighter wheel with a ride quality that can’t be beat.

7.5% Reduction in Vibration

In contrast to the rigid nature of metal spokes, the carbon G-Spoke’s composite material 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.

7.5% REDUCTION

Lighter

Carbon spokes are significantly 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.

Stronger than Steel

HIGH TENSILE STRENGTH
The fibers in carbon can withstand a high amount of tensile stress before breaking. Tensile strength is the force a material can withstand before being pulled apart. Carbon fibers have a high tensile strength, much higher than most metals. Our G-Spoke outperformed the steel spokes by an almost 20% margin.

TENSILE STRENGTH

IMPACT STRENGTH
We test for impact strength with our custom GULO Impact Tower Test where individual spokes must survive direct impacts of 4 to 12 joules at a variety of spoke tensions. GULO G-Spokes consistently withstand larger impacts than steel spokes without losing tension or permanently deforming, meaning less re-truing and broken spokes for you! This is possible through the proprietary triaxially braided structure only found in the G-Spoke.

IMPACT STRENGTH

Our Tech

The G-Spoke’s innovative approach represents the future of bicycle wheel technology, addressing the limitations of 19th-century metal spokes with 21st-century materials and design.

An upgrade in performance and a shift towards a more efficient, comfortable, and reliable cycling experience. In essence, the G-Spoke redefines what riders can expect from their wheels, ushering in a new era of cycling technology.

What People are Saying

As a cycling coach and mountain bike skills instructor, I’m constantly on the lookout for innovations that can enhance the riding experience or performance for my clients. One such breakthrough comes in the form of Gulo Composites bicycle wheels, which have taken the cycling community by storm with their superior vibration damping properties.

Through the materials they use and manufacturing process  Gulo has come up with the secrect sauce to dissipatating vibrations to the bike and rider. The “precise” feeling I experienced comes in part from the fact that Gulo spokes don’t elongate or “flex” under load like a traditional steel spoke. The movements the rider makes to balance, steer, and force the bike around feel more precise because that “energy” isn’t lost due to flex. Fast forward a couple of years. I’ve been riding Gulo Composites wheels on the mountain bike, e-bike, and gravel bike that I coach with regularly. The spokes have stood the test of time and abuse, shedding attempts by errant sticks, rocks, and other foreign objects to shatter my carbon composite bliss.

– JOSH WHITMORE, Cycling Coach and Mountain Bike Skills Instructor

“I received the GGX-SL’s to take them out and punish them on the Pisgah gravel hoping they wouldn’t punish me. And they fit the bill, they were stiff and responsive during acceleration and climbing and soaked up the bumps on the descents. Plus, they are absolutely beautiful and weighed in as advertised. Highly recommended!”
