Good hooked rim gravel wheels?

[tv_vt]

Does this even exist? Wanting a hooked rim wheelset to use with tubes; no sealant. Shimano freehub, might want to run tire size down to 28mm, but surely 32mm.
Looking at Campy Levante and Shamal Carbon wheels. The Levante is not recommended for anything below 38mm tires, but who knows. Shamal could be an option. As could Boras/WTO wheels, maybe.
Looked at a Mavic wheelset, but it was hookless. Same for DT.
Thanks for any insight.

Roval are also hooked. I’m pretty happy my Terra clxs but they might be overkill for what you are looking for.

The Levante width recommendation is stupid. You can run 30 mm tires. No problem with a 25 mm inner rim.

I might also recommend checking out the Specialized Roval Terra and Bontrager Aeolus 37v.

Check out Roval, as others have already mentioned. HED also offer several gravel wheelsets with hooked rims. Aluminum DT Swiss gravel wheels (like the GR 1600 Spline) should also have hooked rims.

What internal width do you have your heart set on? What in your mind defines a wheel as "gravel"?

All of Shimano's wheels are hooked. Same with HED. I pretty much stick to those two brands.

Bontrager's are hooked. Light Bicycle have a hooked rim if you want something less expensive. Stan's No Tubes has a mini hook that has worked well for me with tubed tires.

I ride astral wanderlust wheels on my gravel bike... One of very few hooked gravel wheels fully made in USA too.

I've have a set of Light Bicycle hooked carbon rims, DT Swiss 350 hubs and Pillar steel spokes built wheels. Rim bed is solid so no tape required. (They do offer drilled rim bed version but really how often does one change spokes to worry about the extra effort of the spoke nipple?)

Easiest tubeless set up, I've experienced. Recommend highly

All current DT Swiss road and gravel wheels are hooked.

Nox Citico rims on your hubs of choice. Put loads of miles on them with 32mm up to 45mm tires, road and gravel, tubed and less. Couldn’t find anything to complain about.

I have hooked BTLOS wheels for gravel, although I wish I bought hookless because I run low tire pressure.

[marciero]

Loving my Shimano GRX 880. 25 internal/ 32 depth. They have this new Rapid drive freehub, so not the pawl type. Adjustable bearings but they sit in a carrier so not loose. Also regular j bend spokes. Under 1500g. I forget exactly.

Light Bicycle. My WR45s are hookless but survived 7000 miles of gravel riding on 38mm tires with zero issues before I switched them over to another bike.

Boyd CCC gravel wheels are hooked. I have a pair and like them.

Give me a shout..I can design and build you a wheelset specifically for you and your needs using
DT, Bitex, WI hubs laced to
Kinlin or Velocity or BTLOS rims using
Sapim spokes..

Bitex hubs laced to Velocity Aileron rims using Sapim Race spokes.....'About' $650 or so
