The Berd HAWK30 Gold Carbon Wheelset claims the ultimate title in cross-country performance-the lightest 30mm internal width production wheels on the planet. At just 1,022 grams without tape and valves, these wheels represent the pinnacle of XC engineering, combining record-breaking weight savings with the race-proven performance of Berd&';s legendary polymer spokes. Those spokes are no ordinary component. With two Olympic Gold Medals, two Olympic Bronze Medals, and over 50 XC World Cup podiums in the last two seasons alone, Berd spokes are the most decorated XC MTB spokes in the world. Lightweight, strong, and uniquely capable of damping trail vibration, they deliver a ride quality and performance advantage that has earned the endorsement of the world&';s fastest cross-country athletes. Berd is also the official spoke sponsor of the Trek-Unbroken Cross Country race team, underlining their commitment to elite-level competition. The HAWK30 Gold&';s titanium freehub body is precision-machined to resist cassette bite and surface marking, ensuring effortless cassette removal and long-term durability under the high torque loads of explosive XC efforts. A 70-tooth ratchet system delivers 70 points of engagement for instant, immediate power transfer the moment riders hit the pedals, critical for out-of-the-saddle accelerations and technical trail sections where hesitation costs positions. Engineered with Berd&';s Equal Spoke Length (ESL) technology, the HAWK30 Gold uses varying hook flange widths to maintain identical spoke lengths across both sides of the wheel. This innovative approach simplifies servicing, streamlines spare parts management, and makes race-day repairs faster and more straightforward than conventional wheel designs. The HAWK30 Gold wheelset delivers not only the world&';s lightest XC wheelset but also the confidence of complete long-term protection. For cross-country racers who demand every possible advantage, these wheels are the definitive choice. Weight: 1,022g without tape and valves. 30mm internal width.
