Berd Sparrow50 Gold Carbon Wheels

he BERD Sparrow50 Gold may be the fastest gravel wheelset we’ve ever ridden—but what makes it truly special is how that speed is combined with remarkable smoothness and control. Its 50 mm-deep carbon rim delivers the aerodynamic advantage racers want, while the complete 700c wheelset weighs just 1,298 grams for quick acceleration, responsive climbing and an exceptionally lively feel.

A modern 30 mm internal rim width gives high-volume gravel tires a wider, more stable profile, improving cornering support, traction and comfort at lower pressures. The hooked, tubeless-ready rim is optimized for 45–55 mm tires, creating an ideal combination of speed, volume and confidence over rough terrain.

BERD’s ultra-light PolyLight spokes provide natural vibration damping, helping reduce trail chatter and rider fatigue while preserving momentum across uneven surfaces. Paired with BERD’s fast-engaging Talon ESL-R hubs, the Sparrow50 Gold responds immediately when you accelerate. Deep, light, comfortable and incredibly fast, these wheels transform the way a gravel bike feels—and prove that outright speed doesn’t have to come at the expense of comfort.
