Berd's new HAWK27 wheels are the product of a partnership between Berd and We Are One Composites to deliver spokes and rims made entirely in North America. We Are One is located in Kamloops British Columbia, Canada, and Berd is located in Hopkins, MN.

Ideal for cross country and trail racing and riding, the new HAWK27 wheels combine lightweight and vibration damping Berd spokes with 27 mm internal carbon rims.

The HAWK27 rims are only 18 mm deep, which are the lowest profile 27 mm internal double-wall carbon rims ever made. This unique design yields engineered radial compliance and high lateral stiffness. The combination of vibration damping Berd spokes and our new radial compliant rim means more speed over rough terrain and less rider fatigue.

With a wide 3.75 mm rim lip, Berd's new rims spread out tire/rim impacts across a larger surface area to prevent tire and rim damage during acute impacts.

The HAWK27 wheelset is built around our flagship Berd Talon Hub featuring hooked hub flanges designed to work specifically with Berd spokes along with a dual-sprung 54t ratchet freehub.

HAWK27 is also available with Boost Industry Nine Solix Centerlock hubs, delivering almost instantaneous engagement, long-term reliability, and an impressively lo7 weight. Superboost wheels will be built using the Industry Nine Hydra hubs.

These Berd wheels are also available to be ordered using the Onyx Hook Flange Hub System. This option is available in 12x142 (including single speed), 12x148, and 12x157 super boost rear spacing. Please allow up to 4-6 weeks for delivery of wheels with Onyx hubs.

Wow, what a feeling!

Upgraded from a set of Enve XC wheels and just shocked at how different, lighter, smoother, and more responsive these wheels are. It feels like I've got an extra 20mm of suspension travel from the added smoothness. Rock gardens are distinctly different feeling and so are quick transitions that need lots of quick steering input.

Perfect for my steel hardtail

I've been riding these for about 6 months on a custom steel hardtail frame. They create an amazingly compliant ride that seems to spin up with no effort and reward quick power. I've ridden in rocky and rooty terrain at lower pressures and am not a "small guy". Forekaster 2.4/2.6 seated perfectly. No pinch flats, no rim strikes. Just buy them, you won't regret it!

Smooth and smooth

I've been on these wheels for 10 months and I've really enjoyed them. The wheels are incredibly smooth. I think the shallow rims + Berd spokes are to thank for that. The extra material on the rim where the tire bead interfaces is smart. I haven't had a pinch flat yet despite lower than average tire pressures. Rim construction puts it squarely in the downcountry category and I ride ride them as such. Sending drops, jumps, and pumping through compressions (often with rock armoring here in NW Arkansas) and they've been flawless. I'll be riding these for many years to come!

Pricey AF, but you do really get what you pay for

Yep these things cost quite a bit, but they do deliver on performance per dollar. Everything is unbelievably light. Definitely a difference in vibration damping through the front fork (I have a short travel bike).

Would recommend if you're looking to lighten things up, and a lifetime crash warranty is hard to beat!

You won’t regret it

Put a set of these on my new Commencal Tempo. I’m running a new Forecaster on the front and Recon on the back. Rim width is perfect. I went for these for the weight as I wanted a “light” trail bike. The bike landed at 27lb which was great for me. I’ve ridden this bike on trails that I should have been on my enduro bike with no issues. The wheels are stiff in the chunk and more importantly around fast berms. Yet they take out the high frequency vibrations. I have the best from I9 and Nobl on other bikes, but these are my favorite. I would buy them again.

Thanks for the review Tommy, we're glad to hear that you're enjoying your wheels!
