Ere Research EXPLORATOR CCR45
Description
The Ultimate All-Road Carbon Wheelset
Fast on tarmac. Confident on gravel. Built for everything in between.
The new ERE Research Explorator CCR45 is a high-performance all-road carbon wheelset designed for riders who demand speed, comfort, and versatility without compromise. Featuring a lightweight 1575g build, modern 25mm internal width, and aerodynamic 45mm carbon rims, the CCR45 delivers exceptional performance across road, gravel, and mixed terrain rides.
Built around our proven ERE IONA II hubs, premium Alpina Extralite spokes, and hooked tubeless-ready rims, the Explorator CCR45 combines reliability, stiffness, and smooth rolling performance at an unbeatable value.
Whether you're chasing speed on fast endurance rides or exploring rough backroads and gravel sectors, the CCR45 is ready for every ride.
The ERE Explorator CCR45 is intended for ASTM Condition 2 use.
This means the wheelset is designed for riding on paved roads as well as unpaved and gravel roads and trails with moderate gradients. Riding on uneven surfaces and occasional brief loss of tire contact with the ground can occur.
In practical terms, the CCR45 is suitable for:
-
Road riding
-
All-road riding
-
Gravel roads
-
Light gravel trails
-
Poor or broken road surfaces
It is not intended for aggressive mountain biking, technical trails, large jumps or downhill use.
The CCR45 is designed as a versatile all-road wheelset, combining road performance with the durability required for gravel and mixed-surface riding.
