Parameters
SURFACE TREATMENT:
Matte Black (UD)
FRAME:
All carbon, Japanese Toray T700 and T800 fibers, NCT (nanocarbon tube) enriched epoxy gives lower weight and higher chip resistance.
MANUFACTURING METHOD:
Pressure bag forming
TOOLS:
Power Way for Shimano / SRAM / Campagnolo, center lock
We use T700 and T800 filaments. Prepreg (carbon knitting) is done by us in our factory. We have complete control over the whole process.
Epoxy with nanofibres (NCT)
We add carbon nanofibers to the epoxy. This makes it up to 30% stronger and more chip resistant. There's also less epoxy in the mix, which reduces the weight of the rim.
Quality and widely available parts
We deliberately use proven parts that are easy to find. So you can service your wheels anywhere without waiting for substandard parts.
We don't sell bikes, we make them
Equator is backed by Gigantex - one of the world's most respected carbon rim manufacturers, supplying SRAM, Mavic, Fast Forward, FSA and Truvativ to name a few.
We do not resell rims, we are a factory brand with our own know-how and almost 100 patents.
Wheels specially developed for gravel, suitable for most conditions and terrains. The most sought-after model among enthusiasts of this modern discipline. A great choice!
