Built on 30mm deep aluminum rims that are welded for superior strength, this track-racing wheelset delivers an aerodynamic advantage and proven reliability.
Versatile enough for everyday training and racing, the rims are designed for clincher tires. Wide-dish hubs produce maximum stiffness, and solid cartridge bearings laced with ultra-bladed straight-pull spokes form a rigid connection between the rim and hub.
The rear hub has a double-sided thread so two cogs can be used on the same wheel, making gear changes fast and easy.

Key technologies
SUP welding technology
Stronger and smoother joint
Soudé Usiné Process. After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish.
