We present a new product in our carbon gravel wheel collection - Evanlite GRAVAST. The name of this model is not random; it is a combination of the words "Gravel" and "Fast," which perfectly shows the goal we had when designing it. We created a wheelset that pushes the limits of aerodynamics and stability on gravel roads.
These Gravel Monster wheels are made for fast gravel routes, where the deep aerodynamic profile helps you keep a high speed. When riding fast off-road, a wide tire is key. It absorbs bumps and shocks, stopping the bike from bouncing too much. As a result, thanks to better shock absorption and constant contact with the ground, wide tires give you safe handling, riding comfort, and let you ride much faster on fast off-road routes.
Introducing the Model
Evanlite GRAVAST are wheels with a deep, 50 mm carbon rim that immediately catches the eye. The design stands out with its huge width – 41 mm on the outside and 30 mm on the inside of the rim. Even with such a massive profile, we managed to keep an excellent weight. The basic configuration (with Evanlite hubs and Sapim D-Light spokes) weighs only 1420 grams. The price for the wheelset starts at 999 EUR.
Key Strengths of GRAVAST
- Aero Gravel: The 50 mm deep profile provides a significant aerodynamic benefit, making it easier to keep high speeds on fast off-road sections.
- Maximum Tire Stability: The 30 mm internal width is optimized for wide tires. This ensures they sit perfectly, offering flexibility and great traction in difficult terrain.
- Hooked: The hooked rim ensures a safer tire fit and stable installation, with no limits on which tire models you can choose.
- Made in Poland: Just like the rest of our collection, GRAVAST wheels are designed and hand-built in Poland by our experienced team. We pay strict attention to every detail, such as spoke tension, tension stability, and long-term durability.
- Full Protection: The wheels are covered by our Evanlite Protector warranty program. If you damage them while riding (for example, in a crash) during the first 2 years, we will repair them completely free of charge. After that, a 40% Crash Replacement discount applies.
Good to Know
To meet tire compatibility standards, due to the 30 mm internal width, these wheels are designed for tires starting from 47c. This means you cannot mount narrower tires on them (like 35c or 40c), which are often chosen for lighter all-road riding. This wheelset is specifically built for wider tires.
ETRTO Information and Standards
The rims are made in 28″ / 700c size (ETRTO 622) and use a classic hooked profile (hooked). The use of a 30 mm internal width in the GRAVAST model is fully compliant with the European ETRTO standard for gravel tires from size 47c. This guarantees full safety and correct installation – the tire sits naturally on such a wide rim and does not get stretched too much, which happens when you put narrower tires on very wide rims. Because of this, the tire sidewalls keep their full flexibility, ensuring maximum performance and comfort off-road. The wheels are fully compatible with tubeless systems and classic inner tubes.
Who is this for and on what routes?
GRAVAST are wheels dedicated to demanding gravel races (Gravel Racing) and long gravel ultramarathons. This is equipment for ambitious racers and riders who want to save valuable minutes on long, open sections using aerodynamics, but also need confident handling and shock absorption that a wide tire provides on bumpy, sandy, or technical parts of the route (which also gives lower rolling resistance on gravel and at high speeds).
Comparison with our other models
Each of our models is designed for a specific riding style and environment.
- GRAVAST vs DIRT-ON: The DIRT-ON model (40 mm profile, 27 mm internal width) is our highly versatile option for various routes, suitable for tires from 35c to 60c. GRAVAST (50 mm, 30 mm internal width) focuses on better aerodynamics and requires much wider tires (minimum 47c).
- GRAVAST vs Gravel Champion: Our flagship Gravel Champion features a wavy profile (40-45 mm) and a narrower internal rim (25 mm). It is a versatile all-road (gravel-road) model optimized for tires from 32c to 55c.
- GRAVAST vs Road-OFF: The Road-OFF model (45 mm, 25 mm internal width) combines the features of a fast road wheel with gravel, offering great versatility for 32-55c tires (perfect for asphalt and hard-packed gravel). Meanwhile, GRAVAST performs better on fast off-road routes.
