Miche expands its high-performance lineup with the new Graff Aero 48: carbon wheels engineered for top-level gravel racing.

The result of a rigorous, detail-focused development process, the Graff Aero 48 were created in close collaboration with some of the best gravel specialists. Among them, Traka and Unbound winner Ivar Slik played an active role, bringing real-world racing experience into the project. It was at Unbound 2025 that the Graff Aero 48 made its competitive debut.

The outcome? A wheelset that pushes the boundaries of performance, reliability, and control, across all types of terrain.

The next generation racing wheels for Gravel Bikes

Every aspect is designed for riders with a racing mindset: athletes for whom every second, every turn, every watt counts.

The UD carbon rim features a 48mm depth and a 27mm internal width with a TSS hookless profile, made specifically for tubeless-ready tires ranging from 35mm to 60mm. The optimized rim shape, paired with double-butted aero spokes, delivers superior aerodynamic efficiency and ride stability, even at high speeds and on rough terrain.
