Unleash your speed
DRIFT PACE BOOST is engineered to keep you charging ahead, no matter the terrain. This boost variant makes it possible to use these gravel wheels on a bike with a front boost axle system of 15 x 110 mm and a rear axle system of 12 x 148 mm.
These wheels don’t just look fast with their sleek 48mm deep rims—they are fast. Paired with a generous 28mm internal width, they strike the perfect balance between aerodynamic performance and all-day comfort. Whether you're running 38mm or 60mm tires, the DRIFT PACE BOOST delivers a smooth, confident ride. And of course, they're fully tubeless-ready right out of the box—because performance should never wait.
Engineered for the wildest rides, DRIFT gravel wheels are built to conquer any terrain with confidence. A unique carbon layup boosts impact resistance, while the hookless rim design delivers unbeatable strength, perfect for racing, exploring, or going full send off the beaten path. With reinforced rear spokes for extra stability and durability, these wheels are tough where it counts. And at just 1650 grams with the FFWD Boost hub, the DRIFT wheelset keeps things light, fast, and ready for adventure.
Unique design
A bold attitude meets a fresh, modern look—that’s the essence of the DRIFT design. With a striking silhouette and a logo that demands attention, these wheels don’t just perform, they make a statement.
