Berd Hawk30 Gold Carbon Wheelset

The Berd HAWK30 Gold carbon wheels are built with one clear goal in mind: deliver the lightest and fastest cross-country wheelset possible. With a claimed weight of just 1,022 grams for the full set, these wheels stand out as the lightest production wheels in their class with a 30mm internal rim width. This ultra-low weight translates directly into quicker acceleration, easier climbing, and a more responsive ride feel on the trail.

At the core of the HAWK30 Gold is a completely redesigned carbon rim. Each rim weighs around 270 grams and is engineered for improved impact resistance while maintaining a lightweight structure. The 30mm internal width is optimized for modern cross-country tires, typically in the 2.1” to 2.7” range, providing better traction, stability, and control at lower pressures.

A defining feature of these wheels is Berd’s proprietary PolyLight spokes. These spokes are extremely light and strong, while also helping reduce trail vibration. The result is a smoother ride that lowers fatigue over long rides without sacrificing efficiency or speed.

The HAWK30 Gold wheels also feature Berd’s Equal Spoke Length technology. By using hubs with varying flange widths, both sides of the wheel use the same spoke length. This simplifies maintenance and makes repairs faster and easier.

Performance is further enhanced by a high-engagement hub system. The 70-tooth ratchet delivers near-instant power transfer, giving riders a quick response when accelerating out of corners or powering up climbs. A titanium freehub body adds durability and resists wear over time.

Finally, Berd backs the HAWK30 Gold wheels with a lifetime warranty and a crash replacement program. This adds confidence for riders pushing hard on race courses or technical trails. Overall, these wheels are a top-tier option for riders seeking maximum speed, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology in a lightweight XC package.
