The Pinnacle Hookless is the perfect no-compromise wheelset for gravel, cyclocross, and other high-volume, low-pressure tubeless tyres. With a semi-aero 36mm deep rim, the Pinnacle is designed to pair perfectly with 40mm gravel tyres, offering an ideal tyre-to-rim interface for stability, comfort, and speed.

This wheelset excels in gravel racing on smoother, faster terrain where tyre sizes tend to be smaller than those used for chunky, rough gravel. For example, Boyd Cycling founder Boyd Johnson has been running his personal set of Pinnacles at Unbound Gravel for the past five years.

Each Pinnacle wheel is handcrafted and laced with double-butted J-bend spokes and brass nipples, featuring a 2.8mm spoke offset to ensure balanced tension. The two-cross lacing pattern is built to withstand high-torque loads, while the 36mm rim depth provides aerodynamic gains. The wheels spin on BOYD Quest disc brake hubs, which offer five degrees of engagement, quick-swap freehub bodies, press-fit end caps, and compatibility with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo cassettes. This disc-specific wheelset weighs in at 1485g, making it ideal for everyday use on any surface.

The Pinnacle Hookless is purpose-built for low-pressure adventures, whether you’re heading out on a gravel ride, a bikepacking weekend, or a mixed-surface route straight from your door. It’s a wheelset that’s equally at home on smooth tarmac or twisting fire roads.

 The Quest hubs use top-of-the-line Enduro ABEC-5 bearings and feature a centrelock mount for simple disc installation. 

When it comes to performance, matching your rim width to your tyre size delivers the best aerodynamics and ride quality. If you’re racing smoother gravel at higher speeds, pair your 40mm gravel tyres with the Pinnacle to achieve optimal efficiency and control. The result is a fast, responsive wheelset designed for the demands of modern gravel racing.
