At Echappe we wanted to create a light weight, but durable box rim wheel. For criteriums, its hard to find a wheel that can take a few New England industrial park potholes while also being able to climb and decend the Green Mountain Stage Race. These wheels deliver it all, with an alloy braking surface and 2x lacing, they are versatile for all conditions.
If you need a climbing wheel, here you go. Criteriums? Right here. And in the winter, you need a lightweight cyclocross wheel, this is it.
Test it out and be happy.
About the builds:
We custom build all of the new wheels for you in Vermont. Every wheel is pre-tensioned so you receive it ready to race. Standard built time is 5 business days, depending on product availability. The only option that increases time is ceramic bearings.
We use DT Swiss Double butted spokes for cyclocross builds to keep the builds strong. CX-Ray Spokes can be ordered.
If you have a specific build question, feel free to email Adam, our builder.
