ICAN G24 SL – Lightweight, Fast, and Surprisingly Rugged
I recently upgraded to the ICAN G24 SL wheelset, and the performance-to-value ratio is honestly staggering. If you are looking to shed significant rotational weight without emptying your savings account, these are a top-tier choice. What Stands Out: Weight: At around 1,290g for the set, the difference in climbing and acceleration is immediate. They make the bike feel snappy and responsive, especially when putting down power on steep gradients. Ride Quality: The 24mm internal width is perfect for modern gravel tires. I’ve found that running them tubeless allows for lower pressures that soak up chatter while maintaining a very stable, confident footprint through loose corners. Build Quality: The finish on the carbon is clean, and they arrived perfectly true. The hubs have a nice, crisp engagement—audible enough to feel high-end but not so loud that it’s distracting during a quiet ride. Durability: Despite being "Super Light," they’ve handled chunky gravel and the occasional technical descent with zero issues. They feel stiff under lateral load, with no noticeable flex when sprinting. Bottom Line: The G24 SLs prove you don't need to spend $2,000+ to get a professional-grade carbon wheelset. They’ve completely transformed the feel of my bike, making it faster on the flats and much more efficient on the climbs. Highly recommended for any gravel rider looking to level up.
