Ere Research Explorator CCR45 Wheelset

The Ere Research Explorator CCR45 Carbon All‑Road Wheelset is built for riders who want a versatile, high-performance upgrade that performs equally well on smooth tarmac and rougher mixed terrain. Designed as a true all-road carbon wheelset, the CCR45 combines aerodynamic efficiency, durability and comfort, making it ideal for road cycling, endurance riding, light gravel, bikepacking and premium custom builds suitable for Australian conditions.

For cyclists searching for carbon wheelsets Australia, all-road wheels Brisbane, or a wheel upgrade that balances speed and comfort, the CCR45 offers a refined solution that suits modern riding styles and tyre setups.

45mm carbon rim depth for aero performance and control

The 45mm rim profile is specifically chosen to deliver a balance of aerodynamic gains and predictable handling. It reduces drag at higher speeds while remaining stable in crosswinds, which is ideal for real-world riding conditions across Queensland’s coastal routes and open roads.

This rim depth is perfect for:

• endurance road cycling
• fast group rides and training
• mixed terrain riding
• long-distance events and gran fondos
• riders wanting aero benefits without sacrificing control

It provides a noticeable improvement in speed while still being manageable for everyday riding and varying wind conditions.

All-road capability for modern cycling setups

The Explorator CCR45 is designed with modern wider tyre compatibility, allowing riders to run both road and gravel tyres depending on their riding needs.

This makes it an excellent choice for:

• road bikes with wider tyre clearance
• endurance bikes and gravel-leaning setups
• riders transitioning between road and light off-road riding
• all-road riding on mixed surfaces

With support for wider tyres, riders benefit from improved comfort, grip and stability—especially on rough Australian roads and light gravel paths.

Lightweight carbon construction with durability

Built from high-quality carbon fibre, the CCR45 is engineered to deliver stiffness and strength while maintaining a low overall weight. This results in a wheelset that accelerates quickly and feels responsive under power.

For riders upgrading their bike, this translates to:

• improved acceleration and climbing performance
• reduced rotating mass for efficiency
• stable handling across different terrain
• long-term durability for regular riding

It is suitable for both performance riding and high-kilometre training, making it a practical upgrade for serious cyclists.

Tubeless-ready for lower rolling resistance and comfort

The CCR45 wheels are tubeless-ready, allowing riders to benefit from modern tyre setups that improve performance and reliability.

Tubeless advantages include:

• reduced puncture risk from road debris
• lower rolling resistance
• improved grip in both wet and dry conditions
• smoother ride quality over rough surfaces
• ability to run lower tyre pressures safely

Many bike shops across Brisbane recommend tubeless setups for road and gravel bikes due to their real-world performance benefits.

Disc brake compatibility for confident braking

Designed for modern disc brake road and gravel bikes, the Explorator CCR45 delivers reliable braking performance in all weather conditions.

Disc brake systems provide:

• stronger stopping power
• improved braking consistency
• better performance in wet conditions
• increased control on descents

This makes the CCR45 ideal for riders tackling varied terrain and long-distance routes across Queensland.

Ideal for upgrades, servicing and custom builds

The Ere Research CCR45 is a popular choice for riders upgrading their wheelset during a bike service, custom build or performance tune-up.

Common applications include:

• carbon wheel upgrades for road bikes
• endurance and gravel bike builds
• tubeless conversions
• performance tuning and weight reduction
• wheel replacements during bicycle servicing
• improving ride quality and comfort

For cyclists searching road bike wheels or gravel wheelsets the CCR45 offers a versatile and reliable solution.
