Expanded We Are One Convergence Lineup and World’s First Carbon Bikepacking Wheelset

We Are One’s Convergence lineup was launched in the fall of 2022, promising enhanced durability, improved ride feel, and innovative spoke interface technology. Instead of a uniform spoke face, Convergence wheels use a sinuous or curvy profile with an alternating 7.5° angle, which perfectly aligns the nipple bed with the hub flange, creating a linear spoke line and a 360° contact point between the nipple and rim bed. The idea is that a spoke sitting flatter against the rim reduces stress on the nipples and spokes, particularly under high loads if the wheels lose tension.

The current Convergence lineup has three rim options: Trail (Sector), Enduro (Triad), and E-Bike (Fuse). As of today, We Are One is expanding the lineup to cover a wider spectrum of categories and riding styles, each rim tuned and built specifically for its use case. This is the first product launch since Industry Nine’s acquisition of We Are One last month. Find short descriptions from We Are One for each of the four models below.

Deal (Downhill)

Designed to provide the utmost strength and durability for the demands of downhill racing for modern DH bikes and offered in MX (29” front/27.5” rear) or full 29er configuration. Significant development went into the shape and laminate, testing at the World Cup level to prove durability and fine tune the ride feel. Featuring reinforced laminates specifically added to increase impact resistance while retaining the confidence-inspiring feel that riders are after.

Whisp (XC)

Designed to fill a gap in pinnacle XC performance, the all-new Whisp answers the call for ultralight speed and reinforced strength and durability. The optimized shape and laminate delivers a smooth and responsive ride feel, while locally reinforced nipple areas to shave off unnecessary weight. Fast, responsive, and efficient, the Whisp delivers more miles and less maintenance and is ready to take on gravel and dirt in any capacity.

Revive 2.0 (Gravel)

Originally designed on the Revolution Series rim, the Revive is now available with Convergence technology. Providing similar ride feel and impact resistance to the original Revive, the 2.0 improves on these features via the Convergence profile, delivering a fast, quiet, and efficient platform.

Wanderer (Bikepacking)

An entirely new offering for the two-wheel explorer in all of us. The world’s first carbon rim purpose-built for the unique demands of bikepacking. Designed from the ground up to prioritize durability, comfort, and reliability, the Wanderer redefines what’s possible for self-supported adventure riding with a comfortable and confident platform across any terrain.

Complete wheelsets start at $1,999 CAD ($1,595 USD), single wheels at $720 USD, rim-only at $595 USD, and are available now. You can find more details and purchase new wheels at WeAreOneComposites.com. Stay tuned for a review of the Wanderer wheels as we wrap up a few months of testing.
