Pinnacle Race — The Apex of Gravel Speed
This is gravel, redefined.
I got to be the tester of the very first set of Pinnacle Race wheels produced. They carried me to victory in the Pro Field at the Southeast Gravel race. I begged Boyd not to release these because I don't want to give up my advantage.
Aero Meets Gravel — 55mm Deep
Gravel just got faster.
With a massive 55mm deep carbon rim, the Pinnacle Race brings true aerodynamic performance to gravel riding. Where others sacrifice speed for durability, this wheel delivers both—cutting through wind while maintaining stability across unpredictable terrain.
On fast sections, it feels like free speed.
On long days, it means less effort, more efficiency.
Built for Modern Gravel Tires
The Pinnacle Race is designed around how gravel is actually ridden today.
- 28mm internal width optimized for 45mm+ tires
- Improved tire profile for better traction and control
- Increased air volume for confidence on rough, chunky terrain
- Hookless design for strength, simplicity, and impact resistance
This is a wheel built for aggressive lines, high speeds, and real-world conditions.
