Introducing the new Explorator GCR40 wheelset by Ere Research—the perfect companion for passionate cyclists. These aerodynamic profile wheels, succeeding the popular Explorator GC45, are specifically designed to be extra strong and sturdy for everyday use and road training, inspiring you to hit the road and embrace the joy of cycling.

Weighing 1023 grams for the rear wheel and 861 grams for the front wheel, the new wheels offer an optimal weight that strikes a harmonious balance, providing a robust and responsive feel without unnecessary bulk. They offer the ideal combination of strength, performance and aerodynamics, empowering you to push your limits and conquer new challenges effortlessly. The Explorator GCR40 wheelset is the perfect choice for the weekend warrior or as training wheels, ensuring you get the most out of every ride.

Rims

The 40mm aero profile rim is made from a specific Niobium alloy with a T10 heat treatment which makes the rims ultra strong and durable. The rim profile has a 21mm inner width and deep 9mm inner drop to make difficult tires easy to install. It also makes sure wider tires fit better and offer the right sizing. The rims offer great stability for tires up to 40c. But that's not all – the Explorator GCR40 wheelset comes tubeless ready right out of the box, making your tire setup hassle-free and allowing you to enjoy a puncture-resistant, lower-rolling-resistance ride.

The wheels are built with Belgium made Sapim Leader spokes made from Swedish stainless steel and black nipples, creating a package with amazing performance and price.
