Ultra-Light Aero Carbon Rims with Wave Design

The wavy carbon rims are available in two aero configurations: 45/50 mm and 60/65 mm depth — each with a 21 mm internal width. They combine stability, speed, and significantly reduced sensitivity to crosswinds. The design ensures outstanding aerodynamic performance, perfect for fast climbs, competitive racing, and explosive sprints.

Aero Carbon Bladed Spokes & Ceramic Bearings

At 3.1 mm wide and only 2.9 g each, the aero bladed carbon spokes optimize airflow and save crucial watts. The lightweight hubs with premium-grade ceramic bearings minimize friction and guarantee maximum drivetrain efficiency. A 36-tooth ratchet freehub system ensures direct power transmission and rapid acceleration.

2:1 Spoke Ratio Construction

The asymmetrical lacing ensures balanced spoke tension on both sides — providing greater durability, stiffness, and optimal control in all riding conditions.

The wheelset can be run with tubes or tubeless — ideal for both racing and training environments.
