Not only do the Sparrow wheels offer featherlight construction, but they also deliver an incredibly smooth ride, thanks to the damping properties of Berd spokes that absorb the rough gravel sections and minimize high-frequency vibrations transferred from the road to the rider.
The Sparrow Wheels are incredibly versatile and can accommodate tire sizes ranging from 28c road tires to robust 50c mud slingers. This adaptability ensures you're ready for any adventure, regardless of where you're headed or how you plan to ride.
At the heart of the Sparrow wheels are the innovative Berd Talon Gravel/Road hubs. These hubs are engineered for seamless integration with Berd spokes, featuring a clean spoke interface. Additionally, the Talon hubs are designed for ease of service, with removable end caps, centerlock brake rotor mounts, and a durable black anodized finish. The dual-sprung 36-tooth ratchet mechanism not only simplifies maintenance but also offers exceptional reliability. Most importantly, the Talon Gravel/Road hubs come with options for Shimano Microspline freehubs to support the new 12 speed GRX cassettes, as well as SRAM XDR and the traditional Shimano 11 speed road freehub body.
You also have the choice to build Sparrow wheels with Onyx Hook Flange hubs, or you can opt for a custom build with hubs of your preference (subject to availability).
Strong, lightweight, and exceptionally smooth, Berd Sparrow wheels are the complete package. Embark on your next adventure with confidence â fly with the Berd Sparrow wheelset today!

Technology:
Berd spokes are made from an advanced polymer called ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) that has 12 times the strength-to-weight ratio of steel and floats on water. Berd spokes have an improved fatigue life compared to steel and are impervious to the elements.
