The Boyd Jocassee Carbon Gravel SL Wheelset is designed for your next gravel adventure. Featuring a layup with aerospace grade carbon fibre to enhance ride feel, while keeping the wheelset weight to just 1145g. The Jocassee keeps the strength high to inspire confidence when riding over any terrain.
The Jocassee Carbon Gravel SL is built to be the ultimate gravel adventure wheel. A very detailed rim layup and combination of aerospace grade carbon fibre allows for a rim that weighs just 322g, yet can handle the rough gravel roads or even singletrack. The offset rim bed allows for a more even spoke tension to keep your wheels in true and running strong. Modern gravel bikes are running larger and larger tyres. The 26mm internal width of the Jocassee pairs perfectly to larger tyres. Run lower pressure, ride rougher roads, go on a new adventure. The Jocassee was built to handle this.
The easy to service Grade 54 featuring a ratchet mechanism is built for handling high torque loads. Weatherproof seals, and shielded bearings means the wheels continue to perform, even when riding long miles in poor conditions.
Jocassee (Joe-Cass-EE) is a heritage preserve in the Northwest corner of South Carolina. Containing over 100 miles of gravel roads, Jocassee is a favourite of cyclists looking for a very difficult gravel ride. Founder, Boyd Johnson, started riding in Jocassee on a road bike with 25mm tyres in the early 2010s (not highly recommended at all!). Over time, gravel started to emerge as a discipline, people migrated to cyclocross bikes, followed by gravel specific bikes.
