Handsling Hookless Tubeless Gravel/CX Wheels are specifically designed for cyclocross or gravel cycling. They are our toughest, do-it-all wheelset, with our team riders racing them off-road in cyclocross and gravel events, but with some also using them in road races.

Hookless rims are the norm in mountain biking, and are commonplace now in cyclocross and gravel. Even road cycling is starting to embrace tubeless tyres and hookless rims. If you have decided that tubeless tyres are the way forward, and want to get the maximum performance benefits by using hookless then these wheels are what you need.

Handsling Hookless Tubeless Gravel/CX Wheels are 30mm wide and 40mm deep, and are very tough and lightweight. With a 24mm wide internal width, the rim profile is designed to be combined with big volume tubeless tyres, so is ideal for 32mm tubeless cyclocross tyres and 35 to 45mm gravel tyres, but equally works really well with 28mm to 32mm road tyres.

While we wouldn't recommend it, in testing these super tough wheels handled up to 120psi and for cyclocross we have run these wheels in races as low as 18psi with no burping - our team riders say they feel like fast tubulars in 'cross races.

Finished in 3k carbon with gloss embossed HANDSLING logos they are of striking appearance and make any bike look amazing.

Why hookless?

Whereas an inner tube applies pressure upwards, trying to lift the tyre off the rim, tubeless tyres exert lateral force against the rim sidewall, negating the need for a hook to secure the tyre.

Weight

Expect wheels of around 1485g with a Handsling hubset. Hookless rims can be made lighter and stronger than hooked rims.

Aero

The wide Handsling 30mm rims are aero when paired with a 28mm+ tyre, handling really well no matter the wind direction. We do not recommend running with tyres less than 28mm.

Low rolling resistance

These wheels are designed for the wider tubeless road tyres that have been shown to offer the lowest rolling resistance of all tyres.

Grip

Hookless tubeless allows you to run lower pressures, improving grip over tricky terrain, in muddy conditions or when cornering.

Comfort

These lower pressures improve ride comfort massively, a factor long overlooked in road riding especially. Added comfort allows you to finish your ride in much fresher condition meaning you can nail that sprint or final climb and recover better for the next event.

Cornering speed

By offering extra support to the wider tyres, even at lower pressures, these wheels offer improved grip and cornering performance.

Features:

40mm deep, 30mm wide carbon rim
Light for fast acceleration
Strong for impact absorption
Wide for improved aerodynamics with big volume tyres
Hookless for use with the latest tubeless tyres
No braking surface
Ideal for supporting wider tyres in cyclocross and gravel, and the new road tubeless tyres that promise lower rolling resistance

Made up into wheels in the UK by master wheelbuilder, Ian lynch, using the superb Pillar Wing20 or Sapim cx-ray spokes with Handsling disc hubs or a hub of your choice. Please state if you want 12mm thru axles, or 15mm front / 12mm rear, or QR.

We own our

Frame Moulds

Handsling are in the fortunate position of being able to control all aspects of production and actually own the moulds which we use to make our bikes. Photo shows the main A1R0evo mould.

Control over

Production

Some of our frames are joint ventures - like the TR3evo - and others we own 100% - like the A1R0evo - but in all scenarios we lead the design process and exercise control over the production process. Photo shows the seatstay moulds of the A1R0evo, clearly stamped into the top middle of the mould...

in-house

Design

Our frames are designed in-house, working in conjunction with our very talented and experienced engineer who turns our rough designs and crazy ideas into practical 2D , CAD 3D, and then into prototype frames. Photo shows TR3evo CAD drawing.

Production Techniques

We use the latest production techniques such as EPS internal moulds to ensure we have the highest levels of carbon compaction in our frames, making lighter, stronger and stiffer frames. The inside of the frames are therefore very well finished making cabling very easy. Photo shows a dissected A1R0evo frame with EPS internal moulds.

Tested to

Destruction

Our frames are rigorously tested in a two stage process involving intense and often destructive testing in the factory, followed by real world testing here in the UK. Photo shows an A1R0evo frame in factory testing.

Race Proven

Quality

Handsling manufacture quality products that are designed to be high performing, demonstrated by winning a couple of world titles, over 20 national championships and numerous regional championships, and yet tough enough for amateur racing and riding, where a new frame from a team car is not an option and a broken frame is a real issue. Photo shows Oscar Nilsson-Julien after winning one of his many national championships aboard his Handsling TR3.

Handsling Racing History

Designed to

Perform

Handsling frames were originally created for the Handsling Racing Team. They are designed to perform and ultimately to win races. But whatever your level they allow you to perform at your best. Photo shows Matt Wallis of Handsling Racing winning a crit race on his A1R0.

We make

Tough Frames

Handsling frames are all about robust quality. We decided upon this strategy after experiencing so many issues with high end frames being damaged in minor collisions. Brands' constant striving for lightweight leading to the use of ridiculously thin, brittle carbon ill-suited to all but pro riders with an endless supply of frames. Photo shows Handsling RR1 and Fred Wright (now a ProTour rider) on the cobbles of the junior Paris-Roubaix.

Builds

Handsling frames are built up into full bikes in our workshop in Hamspshire, UK. As a result we can tweak each build to suit each individual rider.

Warranty

We offer a lifetime warranty against any manufacturing defect on all Handsling frames, wheels and components.

Testimonials

"I am blown away by the performance of the bike in all situations flats, descents, acceleration and even more astonished by the improvement in my climbing... friends are now questioning what has happened to their performance! In total transparency I tell them “it’s not me, it’s the bike”."

"I have finally today finished building my Handsling. I’m just back from its first ride. And WOW. What a great bike. So smooth yet fast and stiff. Can’t wait to get out and ride it some more over the weekend. You really have designed a great bike here. As I say blown away with how it rides. It rides as well maybe even slightly better than my S works tarmac haha."

"I was looking for a high-performance road bike for amateur races and triathlons, but also club rides and blasting around the local lanes. I just don’t get how they made A1R0evo so stiff and responsive, but also so comfortable. I went for 28c tyres and the bike ploughs through road debris and potholes. The ride is assured and comes alive when you’re going full gas.”

"Just wanted to follow up now that it's been almost six months since I received the A1R0evo, weather is starting to turn for the better and I have been able to get out and ride more consistently with the earlier sunrises. The new bike rides great! I've been having a blast and riding much faster on my solo training rides which the new rig. I am very pleased indeed."
