Engineered Synergy: T1000 & M40X Carbon Fusion

We believe true innovation comes from understanding materials at their core. The 8LIEN wheelset uses a calculated fusion of T1000 and M40X carbon fibers—not simple layering, but a performance-driven composite. This scientific ply design delivers the perfect balance of weight, stiffness, strength, and comfort.

T1000 provides exceptional toughness and durability, ensuring stability across all road conditions. M40X reinforces critical areas like spoke holes and rim walls, boosting rigidity and power transfer for sharp, efficient acceleration and confident cornering.

This synergy creates wheelsets that are ultralight without compromise. At 8LIEN, we’re not just building wheels—we’re engineering pure, reliable performance.

Extra Wide Hooked Rim

The extra wide rim provides better support for wide tires, allowing you to confidently lower the tire pressure.
Lower tire pressure means the tire can absorb more vibrations, resulting in a more comfortable ride, along with enhanced grip on sand, gravel, and muddy terrain.
It delivers greater comfort on rough roads, improves efficiency during power output, and ensures better stability when cornering—making it an essential "game-changer" for enhancing your Gravel riding experience.

Terra Series are equipped with premium TPI steel bearings, delivering a noticeable boost in speed, efficiency, and ride quality. The ultra-smooth balls reduce friction for faster acceleration, while the heat-treated bearing races ensure long-lasting durability and stability under high load.

The result?
Lighter rolling, improved comfort, and unmatched performance — fully unlocking the potential of your 8LIEN wheels on climbs, sprints, and long endurance rides.
