When choosing wheels for a gravel bike, the key question is to determine the difficulty of the trails and, consequently, the planned tire width. The gravel bike has evolved significantly in recent years, initially targeting riding on technically undemanding gravel, woods and roadless trails. Nowadays, one increasingly notices the use of gravel bikes also on more difficult circular routes.
The following models of wheels from our offer definitely deserve to be called one of the best in their price category. Each model can be customized in the configurator - which makes it possible, for example, to modify the hubs or spokes in accordance with the wheel components we recommend.

Our comment
Perfect for gravel and wilderness riding is the lightweight DT R 500 rim with a high weight limit of 130 and an internal width of 22 mm. We recommend its use with tires in the 32 - 42 mm range. This model will work great as allroad wheels. On the other hand, if you want more demanding trails and wider tires, we recommend another previously recommended wheel model DT GR 531.

DT Swiss G 540
Weight: 1760 - 1850 grams (various configurations)
Inner rim width: 24 mm

Our comment
The wheels are built based on the DT G 540 rim, which in terms of performance is similar to the top aluminum model GR 531 (inner width of 24 mm). The G 540 model is several tens of grams heavier, but at the same time more affordable. These wheels are dedicated to a variety of gravel trails, providing versatility of use. For more demanding trails (circular trails, bikepacking), we recommend choosing stronger Sapim Race spokes along with brass nipples in the configurator. This configuration will improve not only the strength, but also the performance of the wheels on more difficult terrain.
