The folks at Forge+Bond are expanding their wheelset lineup with two new road/gravel wheelsets made from their proprietary FusionFiber construction. These two new wheels aim to deliver versatility smack dab in the core of the road and gravel wheelset market. With careful attention to minimizing environmental impact and waste, Forge+Bond provides a compelling alternative to the traditional wastes and toxic materials commonly found with traditional carbon fiber production.
This year, I am still riding the Bontrager Aeolus Pro 37V TLR wheelset, which is made by Forge+Bond to Trek’s proprietary standards. And, I can attest to the smooth ride quality and durability of FusionFiber’s long-chain nylon polymers. It’s honestly pretty incredible. With Forge+Bond launching their own CR 35 and CR 45 wheelsets (read our review), there are now more options for riders in search of a comfortable and versatile wheelset for all types of riding.
