Venn has been pioneering filament-wound carbon rim technology since before it was widely recognised, earning patents, awards, and a loyal following among riders who care about how their equipment is actually made. The 440 TCD UL rims are impact tested to 100 joules - more than double the UCI's 40 joule requirement - giving you confidence on rough terrain where most gravel riding actually happens. Sapim CX-Ray spokes mean any bike shop in the world can service, true, or replace a spoke on the road or at a remote event. For gravel racers, long-distance bikepacking riders, and performance-focused enthusiasts who want a wheelset that delivers every time they put power down, the 440 HE1 is a genuinely exceptional build.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVenn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrake Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisc brake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTyre Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTubeless \/ Clincher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWheel Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700c\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRim Width (External)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39mm at widest point, 37.5mm at uprights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRim Width (Internal)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRim Depth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRim Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e350g ±15g (raw finished, uncoated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWheelset Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1294g ±30g per pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRider Weight Limit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpoke Count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24h front, 24h rear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpokes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSapim CX-Ray bladed steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNipples\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal aluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHubs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVenn Helix-01\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHub Engagement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72T helical ratchet, 5 degrees\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFront Hub Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRear Hub Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e243g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRear Bearings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 6902 + 41.5mm angular contact bearing (nano-coated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFront Bearings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6902 and 6802\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHub Axle Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7075-T6 aluminium, 15mm axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHub Shell\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCold forged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRatchet Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForged and CNC machined SCM 415 steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRotor Mount\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCenter Lock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFront Axle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 x 100mm thru axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRear Axle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 x 142mm thru axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCassette Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShimano HG (11 \u0026amp;

This means under real pedalling load there is zero free play - your power goes into the wheel immediately.
