Designed with the rougher side of gravel riding in mind, the new NOBL HR25 is the lightest and most capable carbon rim in the brand’s lineup and can handle up to a 2.35″ tire. Take a closer look here…

Everyone has a different definition of what a gravel ride is. For the folks at NOBL Wheels on Vancouver Island, which happens to be just across from where I live, gravel includes steep service road climbs, chunky descents, a dash of singletrack, and sometimes even hike-a-bike. The new NOBL HR25 rim is made specifically with this brand of gravel in mind.

According to NOBL, the HR25 is the lightest and most capable gravel rim in the brand’s gravel lineup, finding a niche between the more gravel-focused HR35 and their XC mountain rims. The HR25 has a 27mm internal width and 24mm depth that’s suitable for high-volume 45–60mm (1.75–2.35”) tires. According to NOBL, “It’s the wheelset for fast and light bikepacking or ultra-racing one weekend and chasing friends down singletrack the next.”

The HR25s weigh just 760 grams per set, 360 grams up front and 400 grams in the rear. It features a hookless rim bead, a raw carbon finish, and with NOBL’s custom program, you can choose a 24 or 28-hole count (400 grams a piece), pair them with road or MTB hubs, and dial in your build with custom spokes, nipples, and decals. The lightest wheel build is just 1,175 grams, built with DT180s and Berd spokes. Watch NOBL’s detailed launch video below for more.

Rims will come standard with a lifetime warranty and start at $500 USD ($675 CAD). A go-to wheelset will be the HR25 DT350 wheelsets, which will start at $1,506 USD ($2,069 CAD). NOBL offers eight hub options (Chris King, 250s, 240s, 180s, Hope, Onyx Vespers, I9 1/1 and SOliX), with the option to upgrade to CX-ray or BERD spokes. The general build turnaround is roughly 5 days in Canada and 7 to 10 business days in the US.
