WHY UPGRADE YOUR RIDE TO GULO?
8% 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.
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.
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.
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.
