We proudly present the latest highlight in the BikeBeat product line: the Freigeist.
The name says it all – the Freigeist (Free Spirit) was developed for those who forge their own path, explore the unknown, and refuse to compromise. Whether on epic bikepacking adventures or fast-paced gravel rides, this wheelset is ready to make history with you.

Again some BikeBeat wheels achieved the BEST OF 2026 Label of the German website radsportnews.com and received the Gold medal in the Gravel categorie. See the full article here: https://worldofmtb.de/best-of/bikebeat-freigeist-gravel-disc/

The look? A consciously chosen, classic matte old-school carbon finish – understated yet distinctive. Because let’s be honest: who doesn’t love talking about their bike? And one thing is certain – with this wheelset, it won’t just be you who’s impressed. Others will notice. And ask.

The 40 mm deep rim offers measurable aerodynamic advantages – even against headwinds and with loaded bags. With an internal width of 25 mm and an external width of 32 mm, it’s perfectly suited for wide gravel tires, providing comfort, traction, and control on any terrain.
What makes it special? The Freigeist is designed for an impressive system weight of up to 150 kg – ideal for riders traveling with luggage who still demand high performance.

And despite its strength, it weighs in at just 1,330 grams (set weight) – a true lightweight thanks to our proven BikeBeat SuperLight Ratchet hubs and robust SAPIM CX-Ray spokes. Easy to maintain, durable, and uncompromising.

The Freigeist – for those who don’t just want to feel freedom, but ride it.
Optional upgrades include ceramic bearings, 45T ratchet system – and of course, it’s 100% designed and built in Germany.

Note: All BikeBeat road and gravel rims are standard hooked rims – not hookless!
