Carbon Care

A crash should not cost you a whole wheelset. If you damage a Venn wheel in a crash within 5 years of buying it, Carbon Care lets you buy a replacement at a discount on its list price: 35% in the first two years, 25% in years 3 to 5.

  • Covers accidental crash and impact damage. Manufacturing defects are separate and are always repaired or replaced free under the warranty.
  • The discount is taken from the list price (recommended retail price), not from the price you paid. A single wheel is priced at 40% (front) or 60% (rear) of the wheelset's list price, less the discount; if both wheels are damaged, the discount applies to the full wheelset.
  • Available to the original owner for 5 years from the purchase date.
  • To claim, send proof of purchase and photos of the damage. One claim per incident.
  • Non-transferable.

01

WHY 32 INCHES

A bigger wheel meets a root, a rut or a stone at a shallower angle, so it rolls over what a smaller wheel has to climb, and it holds its speed on rough ground. Over a long gravel day that means less effort for every kilometre and fewer moments where the bike stops under you. The 440 S 32" puts that wheel on a carbon rim made for it, with the width and depth a gravel tire wants.

02

A WIDE RIM FOR GRAVEL TIRES

At 39mm across its widest point the rim carries a wide tire cleanly, and the 32mm internal width sets the tire at its full section, so you can run low pressures for grip and comfort on loose ground without the casing folding in corners. The hooked bead takes tubeless and clincher tires alike, so the choice of tire stays yours.

03

PILLAR PSR 1420 BLADED STEEL SPOKES

A steel spoke yields slightly under a hit and comes back, taking energy out of an impact before the rim has to absorb all of it. The bladed profile is light and narrow, and any shop, anywhere, can source, true or replace one, which matters more the further from home you ride.

Choosing the Hubs

Choose the hubs by your frame and fork: the Venn RH05SL for the lightest build, 1330g a pair; the 28-hole hubs on the same 12x100mm and 12x142mm thru axles for heavier riders and loaded bikepacking, 1420g; or the Venn RH05BT for Boost frames, 1430g (1410g with the 12x100mm front). Every hub engages through a ratchet with 36 teeth, every 10 degrees, so the drive picks up quickly when you start pedalling again after a coast, and every hub takes a Center Lock rotor.

Venn RH05SL, 24 / 24: 36-tooth ratchet; 12x100mm front, 12x142mm rear thru axles; sealed steel bearings, 2 front and 4 rear; 75 g front, 181 g rear; 7075-T6 aluminium axles, 6061-T6 aluminium bodies; Shimano HG, SRAM XDR or Campagnolo N3W.

28-hole hubs, 28 / 28: 36-tooth ratchet; 12x100mm front, 12x142mm rear thru axles; sealed steel bearings, 2 front and 4 rear; 308 g a pair; Shimano HG, SRAM XDR or Campagnolo N3W.

Venn RH05BT, 28 / 28: Boost; 36-tooth ratchet; 12x148mm rear; sealed steel bearings, 2 front and 4 rear; with the 15x110mm Boost front, 316 g a pair; with the 12x100mm front, 300 g a pair (121 g front, 179 g rear; the front on a 7075-T6 aluminium axle in a 6061-T6 aluminium body); Shimano HG or SRAM XD (15x110mm front); Shimano HG, SRAM XD or SRAM XDR (12x100mm front).

Rim Profile and Tire Fit

The Venn 440 TCD UL 32" is 44mm deep, 32mm wide inside and 39mm at its widest point, and weighs 400g +/- 15g. Its hooked bead holds a tubeless tire with sealant or a clincher with an inner tube, and the 32mm internal width lets a large gravel tire sit at its full section.
