ethirteen Piedmont Race Carbon Gravel Rim Info

Piedmont Race Carbon Gravel Rim is engineered for modern gravel riding where stability, comfort, and responsiveness all matter equally. Designed around a versatile 26mm internal width, this rim supports a wide range of gravel tire sizes and pressures, delivering confident lateral stability and a planted feel across mixed terrain.

Constructed from high-modulus carbon fiber using ethirteen’s proprietary layup, the Piedmont Race rim features a 31mm profile height tuned for frontal compliance. This controlled flex helps reduce rider fatigue on long days while improving traction and grip on rough or loose surfaces. The result is a ride quality that feels smooth and composed, yet responsive when accelerating or changing pace.

Thoughtful tubeless details further refine the design. Raised rim wells make seating lightweight tubeless tires easier and more consistent, while the hookless bead flanges enhance air retention and impact resistance—an important consideration for aggressive gravel riding. Backed by ethirteen’s Lifetime Carbon Rim Warranty, the Piedmont Race Carbon Gravel Rim is built for riders who want to push boundaries with confidence.
