Light‑as‑feather, tough‑as‑nails: the Advanced SL X.R.25 VONOA
Whether you’re flashing a race bib on a gravel sprint or vanishing down a solitary bike‑packing trail, every gravel rider dreams of wheels that won’t weigh them down. At a mere 1 030 g per set, the X.R.25 VONOA isn’t just one of the lightest kits on the market—it’s the feather‑weight that still feels like a solid hug on miles‑long adventures.
- Spokes that could win a staring contest – each carbon Aero spoke tips the scales at 2.9 g. Carbon makes them far tougher and stiffer than their steel cousins, so 21 spokes per wheel strike the perfect balance between razor‑sharp stiffness and forgiving comfort.
- Hub wizardry – the FADE R CS hub carries the same low‑weight, ultra‑durable DNA that has kept NEWMEN’s FADE hubs humming for years, with the added bonus of a whisper‑quiet freewheel.
- Flat‑hookless carbon rims – forged for brutal gravel abuse, these rims stay flat‑hookless (no nasty snag‑points) and sport flared flanges that love a rugged ride.
- 25 mm inner width – tailor‑made for 35‑50 mm tires, letting you drop the pressure for plush comfort, minimal rolling resistance, and grip that would make a gecko jealous.
In short, the Advanced SL X.R.25 VONOA gives you the feather‑light feel you crave, the sturdiness you need, and just enough personality to make every gravel adventure feel like a well‑planned escape—no extra baggage required.
