Most of our items that are in stock are shipped the next business day directly from our showroom at Montpellier.
When the button shows “Add to cart”, it means the item is available immediately in our inventory.
When the button shows “Pre-order”, the item is not physically in stock. We then place an order with our workshop or suppliers. The estimated lead time is generally 15 to 20 days before shipping.
We are a small, dedicated team, and our priority is to offer you the best selection possible, even if that sometimes means we cannot keep every item in stock at all times.

Pair of ELITE DRIVE G-45-SS wheels with SAPIM CX-RAY spokes and ceramic bearings
The G45 is a stiff and versatile wheelset for gravel riding . The SS version is similar to its bigger sibling, the DRIVE G-45-CS, in its construction, except for the steel spokes. SS stands for Steel Spoke . You get almost identical performance, but with a bit more comfort and a lower price.
The G45-SS wheelset uses SAPIM CX RAY spokes, which need no introduction. Found on most high-end wheels on the market, these bladed spokes provide an excellent balance of responsiveness, weight, and strength. The G45 wheelset features a high-end hub with a double-walled, sealed design. The hub's sidewalls have been specially designed for ease of use and maintenance. The hubs have premium ceramic bearings for reduced rolling resistance. Ceramic bearings have a significantly longer lifespan than steel bearings.
The wheelset passed factory/laboratory tests on rough surfaces over 20,000 km, simulating gravel riding conditions. This far exceeds the EN 17406 test standard.
