What is and isn’t ‘rock and roll’ has always been about the context. A term derived from a specific 1950s musical genre (Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis) soon became a synonym for pop music generally and thereafter a kind of shorthand for debauchery and excess. Context, even then, was king. For Ronnie Wood, the rock-and-roll life meant a four-day bender; for Ronnie Corbett, perhaps a fourth digestive biscuit.
Fortunately, Pearson’s new Rock and Roll gravel wheelset has been engineered with only one outcome in mind; to help you roll over rocks – see what we did there? – as effortlessly as possible. Pearson’s Rock and Roll wheelset features hookless rims for greater impact absorption, even at lower tyre pressures, and at just 1.46kg they’re also strong and lightweight. A 40mm-deep profile ensures aerodynamic gains (yes, even off road) and also counters vibration, which in turn improves grip and performance. The Sapim CX-Ray Straight-Pull spokes are some of the lightest available and also have a greater fatigue-resistance, to keep you rolling ride after ride after ride.
The wheels have a centre lock disc and weigh in at an airy 1.4kg for the pair. If you'd like these built with Classified's revolutionary Powershift Hub, get in touch here for more information.
