For the committed rider who lives by the mantra that every gram counts, we present the SandStone SL. The ‘SL’ stands for Super Light, and at an astonishing 1388g, this wheelset is a pure instrument of speed, engineered specifically to redefine your climbing potential and acceleration on gravel. This is where 9th Wave’s Strong and Light philosophy meets absolute weight shaving.
Our unique 37mm internal rim width, validated by beach race specialists, ensures your tires (40mm – 62mm) achieve optimal support, delivering unparalleled grip, comfort, and the lowest possible rolling resistance. The SL takes this foundation and elevates it with the premium, ultralight DT Swiss 240 EXP hubs and weight-saving aluminium nipples. This optimized component selection shaves crucial rotational mass, creating a wheel that reacts instantly to your input and allows you to float over climbs.
This SL Performance build is the ultimate choice for gravel adventures and races on demanding and mountainous terrain. Planning to tackle beach races? For maximum component longevity and corrosion resistance in those specific conditions, we recommend the standard SandStone wheelset, which features durable brass nipples and DT Swiss 350 hubs.
Built with our signature Asymmetrical Rim Technology (ART) and proudly hand-finished in the Netherlands, the SandStone SL delivers absolute precision and quality assurance. It’s the perfect, high-end upgrade for any standard 12×100 / 12×142 gravel frame. Get the full deep dive into the engineering and weight savings in our latest blog article.
