Hello! Are you enjoying customizing your gravel bike?

When you want to dramatically change your beloved bike's ride, the first thing that comes to mind is "wheels," right?

This time, I finally got my hands on the 'G25' gravel model from "ICAN," a rising star in the carbon wheel world.

The era of "cheap Chinese carbon means poor quality" is over. With over 200 dedicated staff members, ICAN is wowing cyclists worldwide. I'll thoroughly review the seriousness of their craftsmanship!

1. Unboxing Ceremony: "Trust" confirmed the moment the box was opened

The biggest concern with overseas mail order is shipping and packaging, but ICAN did not disappoint.

• Speed: Shipped from a European warehouse, it arrived in less than a week.

• Impenetrable Packaging: As is characteristic of Chinese manufacturers, it was protected with an abundance of polyfoam. There's no need to worry about shipping damage.

"Quality Control Certificate" that feels like the breath of a craftsman

What surprised me was the hand-signed quality control certificate included in the box.

It meticulously detailed the tension (tightening torque) of each spoke, proving that "this unit was assembled responsibly by a professional." It's rare for a manufacturer, even a major brand, to be so thorough at this price point.

2. Specs & Appearance: The overwhelming "presence" of a 50mm rim depth

Jet-black matte finish

My first impression when I picked it up was, "Beautiful..."

A matte carbon finish stripped of unnecessary ornamentation, with a subtle black logo. It exudes a sophisticated, mature feel that blends seamlessly with any frame.

The 25mm inner width, an exceptionally wide design, is particularly noteworthy. Even with thicker tires, the sidewalls stand firmly, providing an otherworldly stability without flexing during low-pressure cornering.

3. Measured Weight: The showdown with catalog values!

"A 50mm deep gravel wheel, isn't it heavy?"

With such doubts, I put it on a precision scale.

Measured result: 1,520g (front and rear set)

Excluding protective parts (approx. 20g), it is around the stated value of 1,500g.

Its lightness, achieving under 1.5kg with this volume, contributes not only to agile climbing but also directly to "responsiveness" on trails with frequent stops and starts.

4. Heart: D21 Hub and Sapim Spokes in Concert

The "hub," which determines wheel performance, features ICAN's proud **'D21'**.

• 6-pawl (Trinity) ratchet: Instantly transfers power to the road when pedaled. Direct acceleration with minimal play.

• Addictive Sound: A fine, dense, dry ratchet sound. The sound that echoes the moment the freewheel stops is truly the mark of high-end wheels.

• Reliable Sapim Laser: The spokes use the classic Sapim. In the unlikely event of damage, the peace of mind that replacements are readily available anywhere is essential for long tours.

5. Riding Impression: The bike "evolves" into something completely different

The moment I started riding, a grin spread across my face.

Swapping from aluminum wheels felt like **"changing the engine."**

1. Sharp zero acceleration: The characteristic stiffness of carbon converts every millimeter of pedaling power into propulsion.

2. Easy to maintain cruising speed: Thanks to the aerodynamic performance of the 50mm rim depth, the "extra push" after exceeding 30km/h is remarkably smoother.

3. Stability on gravel: The rims absorb shocks on rough surfaces, while the inherent stiffness allows you to follow your intended line.

6. Conclusion: Is the ICAN G25 a "buy"?

To be blunt, I assert that **"if you want to dramatically change your ride with a budget of 100,000 to 130,000 yen, there's no better option."**

What's Great!

• Destructive Cost Performance: Specs that would cost 250,000 yen from major brands are about half the price.

• Fully Covered Latest Trends: Wide rims, hookless compatibility, 50mm rim depth.

• Quality that Satisfies Ownership: Hand-written tension sheet and beautiful carbon weave.

Things to Note

• Crosswind Impact: Due to the 50mm rim depth, you'll feel some buffeting on bridges in strong winds. If stability is a higher priority, 35mm/45mm might be worth considering.

Summary: Give your gravel life "wings"

The ICAN G25 is not just a cheap product. It is **"battle-ready equipment"** packed with years of expertise and passion.

If you're feeling a little unsatisfied with your current bike's performance. If you want to ride further, faster, and cooler. Then install these G25s.

The familiar roads you know will transform into completely different, superb routes.
