Scaling Peaks With Ease: Meet the New Gída SL from Lōgōs Components
Meet the Lōgōs Gída SL—an XC wheelset born from modern race demands. Lighter, wider, and more impact-resistant, it’s designed for stellar trail performance and easy serviceability.
Modern XC courses aren’t playing around, which means your wheelset shouldn’t, either. Enter the new Gída SL from Lōgōs Components, a refined evolution of their original Gída XC race wheels. By adding width, thickness, and vertical compliance, they’ve somehow managed to shed more than 150 grams and bring the entire package down to a shockingly light 1240g. Think of this as a wheelset that not only climbs like a goat but pulls off a graceful pirouette at the top. Brass nipples and a 3-cross, 28-spoke pattern on a wheelset this light is genuinely impressive. Good on them!
These new hoops are tailor-made for the increasingly technical demands of today’s XC races. Modern riders expect bigger features, need more stable platforms for high-volume tires, and can’t afford to be weighed down. The Gída SL delivers on all fronts: a 30mm internal rim width supports wider rubber at lower pressures, while a beefed-up sidewall thickness bolsters impact resistance and lowers the odds of pinch flats. At 295g per rim, you’re looking at a carefully dialed layup where unnecessary grams are shaved off without sacrificing strength or durability. Deeper compliance comes courtesy of a shorter, 20.7mm rim depth and an asymmetric profile that improves lateral stiffness and prolongs wheel life. The result? Precision carving in corners, zippy acceleration on the flats, and confidence-inspiring support in chunky terrain.
A keen eye for detail sets the Gída SL apart. While it’s the lightest race-oriented wheelset Lōgōs has ever produced, they’ve preserved their hallmark trailside serviceability and reliability. This isn’t some finicky showpiece that can’t handle the real world. The Gen2 arché | os SL hubset, tipping the scales at just 316g per set, is a shining example: it still uses the proven dual-spring star-ratchet internals beloved by mechanics and racers alike, but arrives with high-strength alloys and intensive machining to drop an extra 75g from its predecessor. All without compromising that distinctive sweet spot of engagement and low maintenance.
Lōgōs even chose to keep the 28 Sapim CX-Ray spokes and external brass nipples, adding about 90 grams compared to flimsier options. Why accept this extra weight? Because it means consistent tension, easy truing, better durability, and fewer headaches down the road. Hidden or fragile nipples may shave a few grams, but they often pile on service costs—and who wants that? Instead, the Gída SL embraces balanced, long-lasting design that ultimately saves you time, money, and quite a few curses in your garage.
Not only does the Gída SL excel in functionality and performance, it comes backed by Lōgōs’ lifetime warranty and incident protection, which transfers to future owners. You get US-based support and parts fulfillment, meaning no endless waiting when you need a quick fix. At $1850, or $2400 with Enduro’s ceramic-hybrid bearing upgrade, it’s an investment—one that promises longevity, speed, and a ride that redefines what an XC wheelset can be.
For those who prefer the personal touch of their local bike shop, Lōgōs is building a network of independent retailers who can get you set up. All it takes is a quick introduction, and you’ll be rolling on Gída SL wheels in no time.
