Several manufacturers have introduced high-performance components for the cross-country and gravel markets. Particle released the MSX Ultralight wheelset, which the company claims is the world’s lightest XC+ Downcountry wheelset at 1,125 grams. WTB also launched the CMR Light i30 carbon wheelset, a 1,300-gram competition-focused product featuring a hookless design and reinforced sidewalls.

Swedish manufacturer Öhlins has expanded into the gravel segment with the GXF30 M.1 suspension fork. The component features 40 mm of travel and weighs 1,249 grams. Engineering lead Terje Hansen stated the product was built specifically for the gravel discipline rather than being a mere adaptation of mountain bike suspension. To celebrate the launch, Öhlins is releasing a limited ‘Launch Edition’ of 300 units in its signature gold color.
