NS AGX i25 TLR Wheelset + Hutchinson Tire Bundle

A hardpack stage with exposed ledges and loose, flinty patches is where the NS AGX i25 TLR Wheelset + Hutchinson Caracal Hardskin Tire Bundle shows what it can take. The Hutchinson Caracal Hardskin gravel race tires carry reinforcement from bead to bead that adds puncture resistance on sharp edges, while a low-profile tread keeps rolling speed high. The FSA alloy gravel wheelset backs that up with a hand-built asymmetric rim, 30mm deep with a 25mm internal width, and 24 J-Bend spokes. Both parts are tubeless-ready, so the pair runs without tubes for a more forgiving ride when the surface turns rough.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“What I learned on a hardpack stage full of ledges is that the 45 keeps its shape when a sharp edge catches the sidewall, because the sturdy rim stops it from folding. I clipped a flinty ledge at speed and finished the stage on the same air. That is the width I would put on this wheelset for rocky racing.”
