Rueda trasera con freno de disco Shimano GRX RX880

The freehub swap option is the thing we point customers toward first on this wheel. Most gravel riders don't think about cassette range until they're staring at a steep climb with the wrong gearing, and having the choice between HG L2 and MICRO SPLINE bodies means this wheel can go either direction — tighter road-style gearing for a rider racing gravel events, or a wide-range MICRO SPLINE setup for someone loading up a bike for multi-day touring.

The 32mm rim is noticeably calmer in crosswinds than a deeper carbon wheel, which is the point. It's not going to feel as fast on a flat, exposed road as a 45-50mm aero wheel, but on rolling or technical gravel where a gust can push a deep wheel around, the tradeoff favors control. At 762 grams, it also climbs well, which matters more on gravel than flat-out speed does for most of the riding this wheel is built for.

One thing worth flagging: cup-and-cone bearings need periodic adjustment and repacking, unlike sealed cartridge bearings that get replaced as a unit. That's a maintenance tradeoff, not a flaw — it means a rider comfortable doing their own wrench work can service this hub indefinitely, but it's not a fully sealed, forget-about-it hub.

This is a rear wheel, so it pairs with the matching RX880 front rather than covering a full wheelset on its own. We'd recommend it to a GRX-equipped rider who wants a genuine upgrade in stiffness and engagement over stock alloy wheels, without stepping up to a race-only aero wheel that gives up some of that crosswind stability.
