Description

The Strada Gravel Aero Plus II – Ride Smoother. Go Faster. Last Longer.

At Strada, we challenge the traditional emphasis on lightweight construction and stiffness in carbon wheel design. With the second generation of our new Strada Gravel Aero Plus wheelset, we are redefining the aero gravel category by placing rider fatigue reduction at the forefront.

The updated design features all-new front and rear rim profiles, combined with an advanced spoke system engineered to minimise fatigue while preserving torsional stability. The wheelset pairs a 40mm-deep front rim with a 45mm-deep rear rim, alongside a wide 30mm internal and 36.5mm external rim width to support modern, wider tyres.

The New Benchmark in Wide Aero Gravel Performance

Our latest wheelsets use an advanced viscoelastic resin matrix—a material designed to absorb vibration, increase durability, and enhance overall ride feel. It’s the quiet, invisible technology that transforms every mile.

Built around a hookless rim design with a 3.5mm reinforced impact zone, the Gravel Aero Plus is ETRTO compatible and UCI approved. Each wheelset is backed by a lifetime rim and spoke replacement warranty. Pricing starts at £1,499, with wheelset weights from just 1,383g. Weight chart available below.

Viscoelastic Resin Technology — Engineered for Real‑World Gravel Performance

Next‑Generation Composite Technology

Our latest wheelsets use an advanced viscoelastic resin matrix—a material designed to absorb vibration, increase durability, and enhance overall ride feel. It’s the quiet, invisible technology that transforms every mile.

Why It Matters on Gravel

Unmatched Comfort

High‑frequency chatter is absorbed at the resin level before it reaches you.

Result: a smoother, more controlled ride with less fatigue on long days.

Built for Tough Terrain

Viscoelastic resins increase both fatigue resistance and impact toughness, helping your wheels withstand repeated flexing, stone strikes, and hard cornering.

Performance Without Compromise

You get the stiffness you need for speed, with the compliance your body will thank you for—no weight penalty, no loss of responsiveness.

Superior Manufacturing, Superior Ride

• Cleaner fiber wet‑out for stronger, more consistent composites
• Lower internal stress for better long‑term durability
• Wider processing window for precision‑built, repeatable quality

Every wheel comes off the line with the same elite performance characteristics.

The Advantage in Every Mile

Whether you’re racing, exploring, or pushing new limits, viscoelastic composite technology delivers:

• Smoother ride feel
• Longer component life
• Higher impact resistance
• Confidence on unpredictable terrain

Experience the Difference

Viscoelastic resin technology isn’t just a material choice—it’s a performance upgrade in the Strada Gravel Aero Plus II wheelset

Tyres and Pressures:

With the introduction of wide hookless gravel wheels to the market, a correct tyre pressure setup is essential. We strongly recommend using the Silca tyre pressure calculator as a reference. Please use the following link: Silca Tyre Pressure Calculator

Choosing the right tyre compound and size can be challenging given the variety of options available. A quick call with a member of the Strada team can help narrow down the choices and ensure you select the best tyre for your setup. Optimised tyre sizes recommended 40-45mm.

HUB CHOICES

At Strada, build quality is never compromised. As a result, we offer a wide selection of trusted, industry-leading hub brands. Our recommended options are displayed in the drop-down menu to suit a range of budgets, with additional hub options available upon request. Get in touch with us to discuss any custom configurations.

Note: Stock option is built with DT Swiss 350 hubs with 36t engagement ratchet.

Warranty:

The Strada Gravel Aero Plus wheelset is covered by a lifetime rim and crash replacement policy. Along with our ‘True for Life’ spoke warranty, all of our spokes are covered for daily riding and racing.

Strada Gravel Aero Plus Decals:

As standard, we use moulded, water-laid black decals to ensure a durable, long-lasting finish. If you prefer a boulder-style look, we also offer a decal kit that can be applied over the existing rim finish at no extra cost.

To install, align the top edge of the white decal with the black decal underneath, ensuring equal spacing at each end. Apply gently and smooth the vinyl until it lies flat with no air bubbles.

Note: If air bubbles appear, smooth them out using your finger or a squeegee. If needed, apply a small amount of heat with a hair dryer and continue smoothing until the surface is flat.

What’s in the box:
