Step up from an entry-level gravel wheel and the first thing you notice on a technical descent is how much the tire moves underneath you. The SandStone SL is built around fixing that: a 37mm internal width, wider than most wheels built for gravel, that gives your tire real support instead of letting it balloon past a narrow rim.
That width is rated for tires from 40mm up to 66mm, including 2.4″ mountain bike tires, though we recommend starting from 45mm to get the full benefit of the wider bed: more support, a rounder tire profile, and lower rolling resistance on loose surfaces. Riders regularly run this wheel with wide, high-volume tires like the Schwalbe Thunder Burt 2.1″ or Continental’s 50mm Dubnital, well past what a standard gravel rim is built to support properly.
DT Swiss 240 EXP Straight Pull hubs and Alpina Ultralite aluminium spokes keep the wheelset at 1388g, light enough for serious climbing without asking you to accept a narrower rim to get there. The ART asymmetric rim design evens out spoke tension front and rear, so the wheel holds its shape under a hard sprint or a loaded gravel bag, not just on the spec sheet.
For the rider chasing every advantage on race day, the SL is the step up from an entry-level wheel: the same 37mm rim platform as the rest of the SandStone line, a genuinely wide tire range, and a hub you can rely on. Read more about why rim width matters more than depth on gravel in our journal article, or step up further to the carbon-spoked SandStone SL Ninefold if outright weight is your priority.
