Tipping the scales at an insane light 1,108 grams with valves and rim tape, these are the lightest gravel specific wheels I have ridden and reviewed. Priced at $2,195, they beat their pants off of premium wheelset offerings in terms of price and weight, which says a lot about the R&D that Berd has put into this wheelset. These Berd sparrows have set the benchmark. - Gravel Cyclist based on Sparrow w/28 Spoke Talon Hubs

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 1,042 grams for the complete wheelset w/Berd Talon Hubs, they are still tough enough to handle anything your off-pavement adventures can throw at them.

Want even lighter? The Industry Nine Solix version is only a mind blowing 1001 grams!

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, 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.

Strong, light, and smooth - Berd Sparrow wheels are the complete package. Come fly with us today!

TECHNOLOGY
Berd spokes are made from an advanced polymer called ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) that has 12 times the strength-to-weight ratio of steel and floats on water. Berd spokes have an improved fatigue life compared to steel and are impervious to the elements.

Berd Sparrow wheels

I give these wheels 5 stars. I have been a serious cyclist for 45 years. These wheels are one of the best upgrades I have ever done to my bikes. Short of a completely new bike, I am not sure another upgrade would make more impact. The wheels are 1 pound lighter than my previous I9 wheelset. On top of that the fiber spokes soak up the high frequency vibrations of gravel riding making for less fatigue. I was also surprised that they feel laterally stiffer as well. I would highly recommend!

Berd Sparrow

Great lightweight, comfortable wheels. Expensive when buying from the UK though as you have to pay tax.
