Castellis new aero Unlimited Skinsuit isnt the first gravel racing onesie isnt the first to integrate a sleeve for a hydration bladder on your hot, sweaty back. But together with its Rosso Corsa companion aero Unlimited Pro 2 Jersey for men & women, Castelli now offers more hydration-equipped options to boost your gravel racing aerodynamics than any other clothing maker. Castelli Unlimited gravel racing skinsuit & Pro 2 jerseys(All photos/Castelli)Whether you agree with Rule #32 or not, its clear that staying fueled and hydrated is a challenge for the longest, most intense gravel races. Many racers wear hydration vests to haul enough water and snacks. And weve reviewed the best ones out there. But many racers have looked for a lighter, more integrated, and more aero solution.And Castellis solution is to combine their top-tier aerodynamic fabric and cut of their road-racing Rosso Corsa skinsuit & jersey designs with a small mesh hydration bladder sleeve integrated high on the back. The result is easy-access storage for an extra 1.5L of water, improved rider aerodynamics creating an effective cowl tucked behind your helmet, and still a standard 3+1 pocket layout for your regular needs.Unbound XL-provenCastelli-sponsored gravel racer Rob Britton wore a prototype of this to his 2025 Unbound XL win last summer interestingly, where Lachlan Morton was riding with extra water in an aero bikepacking bag under his aero bars, not in the Blaerosuit he helped Rapha develop the year before.I received the Unlimited Speedsuit the day before Unbound, and as well as fitting really well, the leg pockets worked a charm nothing moved around and the hydration pocket was dialed. I was also able to replace the bladder quickly during the race My favorite thing about this suit is that its comfortable, as well as being super fast. Ive used it in nearly every race since my Unbound win, and its definitely progressing whats possible in gravel racing.

The new Boyd Cycling Reiver gravel wheelset is aimed at riders favoring technical terrain that looks more like early 90s mountain bike trails than todays champagne gravel roads. The Reiver has 26mm internal-width carbon rims with a shallow 25mm depth profile, designed to optimize for vertical compliance over aerodynamics. Pair them with high-volume tires ranging from 35-55mm wide and theyll smooth even the chunkiest fire roads.Rims weigh just 380g and have a hookless design with reinforced construction to handle impacts. By the numbers, thats an impact rating of 140J, which is 3.5 times the UCI standard. Spoke holes are offset 2.8mm from center to balance spoke tension side to side.Hubs use Boyds Grade 36 ratchet mechanism with 36-tooth engagement providing 10-degree pickup intervals. They spin on TPI ABEC 3 bearings, have a Center Lock disc brake mount, and stick with standard Pillar TB2016 J-Bend spokes with brass nipples.Its a durable build based on easy field serviceability over weight weenie-ness, making them a good choice for big adventure rides, and heavier and more aggressive riders.Complete wheelset weight is 1385g, which is competitive for a tough wheelset. If you need something lighter, theres the recently introduced Jocassee SL, a still-tough wheelset with slightly more aero shaping and a weight of just 1145g.The Reivers ship tubeless-ready with pre-installed rim tape, tubeless valves, and Boyds wingnut valve stem retention system. Theyre handbuilt in Greenville, SC, and MSRP is just $1,200.BoydCycling.comThe post Boyd Reiver Gravel Wheels are for the Chunkiest Roads appeared first on Bikerumor.
