The Kinesis Crosslight CX Disc HD is the stronger, tougher big brother of our renowned Crosslight Disc wheelset. We have improved it further by refining the rim profile, sourcing lighter weight hubs and lacing them together with Sapim Race spokes.
The Kinesis Crosslight CX Disc HD is our maximum strength aluminium wheelset and is perfect for serious Gravel adventures or the most demanding Cyclo-cross racer. It features an all new custom lightweight tubeless ready rim made from high strength 6061 aluminium with a 26mm external width, a 23mm internal width and a 22mm disc specific deep profile. The Crosslight CX Disc HD differs over our standard Crosslight Disc by having eyeletted spoke holes, 32 hole lacing and brass nipples. These three key editions build the Kinesis CX Disc HD into an amazingly strong wheelset. The rim is also pinned and welded making it incredibly durable, and combining this with the new wider profile, will withstand the more punishing ‘Cross courses or a multi-day bike packing expedition. We recommend tyre widths between 28c and 45c.
For durability we have built the Kinesis Crosslight CX Disc HD around CNC machined, angled flanged, lightweight hubs. The angled flanges follow the path of the spoke, reducing the stress on the spoke and increasing its lifespan. The Crosslight CX Disc HD hubs are easily adaptable to Sram XD driver or Campagnolo freehub bodies. Smoothness is everything in a hub and that is why we chose Revo Cream bearings, which as the name suggests, are one of the smoothest and best rolling bearings on the market. We supply the wheels with tubeless tape and valves fitted, and both Thru Axle end caps and QR end caps, so that your wheels are ready to fit, straight from the box.
Our hubs and rims are laced together with Sapim Race double butted spokes. Sapim spokes are favoured by wheel builders all over the world, as every spoke is meticulously monitored and checked throughout the entire production process, and this attention to detail ensures all our wheels are evenly tensioned and will stay truer for longer. For the Kinesis Crosslight CX Disc HD we have chosen the double butted Race for their high strength and low weight.
