The Berd Sparrow Carbon Gravel Wheels are the lightest 25 mm internal production gravel wheelset on the market today! Even though Sparrow wheels weigh only 1,065 grams for the complete wheelset (1,108 grams with tape and valves) they are still tough enough to handle anything your off-pavement adventures can throw at them.
Not only are Sparrow wheels lightweight, but they also provide an extremely smooth ride with the damping qualities of Berd spokes soaking up those chunky gravel sections and reducing the high-frequency vibrations that travel from the road to the rider.
The Sparrow Wheels are equipped to handle 28c road tires all the way up to 50c mud slingers so no matter where you are going and how you are riding, you can mount up whatever rubber is needed for the adventure!
At the center of the Sparrow wheels are the all-new Berd Talon Gravel/Road hubs. Berd TALON hubs feature a clean spoke interface designed to work exclusively with Berd spokes. The TALON hubs also include removable end caps for easy serviceability, centerlock brake mounts, and a durable black anodized finish. The dual-sprung 36 tooth ratchet mechanism is designed to be easy to service and offers excellent reliability! Most importantly, the Talon Gravel/Road hubs are available with Shimano Microspline freehubs for 12-speed GRX cassettes in addition to Sram XDR and the traditional Shimano 11SP road freehub body.
Berd Sparrow wheels come built around our flagship Berd Talon Road hubs, along with black Industry Nine Solix Centerlock hubs or Onyx Vesper Hook Flange hubs. The Onyx option is available in 12x142 (Including SingleSpeed),12x148, and 12x157 SuperBoost rear spacing. Please allow up to 4-6 weeks for delivery of Onyx Vesper Hook Flange wheels.

Customer Reviews
I've been wanting to try wheels with Berd spokes since I started riding a gravel bike 2 years ago. Since my bike came with a premium wheel set, I held off.
Also, most of the reviews were either from the MTB side or from racers. I don't race, but appreciate efficiency and like to push and improve myself. Also, I feel that some of the reviews have been biased against Berd, mostly by uninformed journalists.
The review that made me decide to make the purchase, came from an individual in a group ride who was on Berd spokes. He had over 10,000 mi on that set of wheels, riding, racing, commuting...
I've had them for a month now, and they are definitely the best set of wheels I've ever owned! I can certainly feel the lighter weight on acceleration and climbing! Without even trying, my uphill segment PR'S have all improved. They also feel much smoother on washboard surfaces. Purchasing experience and customer service has been excellent! Highly recommend!
Light (and I didn't think I'd fully appreciate) how supple the ride. Noticeably absorbs the bumps, rocks and roots of CX racing to provide an even more confident ride through the course. Really impressive.
Awesome wheels
As a lightweight person on a lightweight bike, I can climb pretty well but tend to bounce on the bumps. With the Sparrows I can now climb better, descend more confidently, and stay on the seat. On big days I can go faster and yet feel fresher, thanks to that compliance. They are just a joy to ride.
Super light and surprisingly comfy, hardly notice when going over rough roads!
