'Karves' were a small type of Norse longship with a broad hull, somewhat similar to the ocean-going knarr cargo ships. They were used for both war and ordinary transport, carrying people, goods or livestock.
Accordingly, our KARV range has been designed for mixed use. Durable. Reliable. Serviceable.
The KARV 22 is the medium width & shallow variety, and the lightest disc wheel we produce. Best used for Commuting, Road, Gravel & Touring.
Less material in the rim profile and fewer spokes results in a nice light wheel, but not as rigid & durable as the deeper KARV.26. As such the KARV.22 is not recommended for riders greater than 80kg.
