The rim is entirely composite. Superior strength and stiffness come from optimized material placement and orientation. The overall effect is a lighter, quicker and remarkably strong wheel. The low rim mass drives the wheel's superior acceleration and weight. Rim Stiffness Allows Fewer Stainless Steel Spokes Spokes are double butted stainless steel tapering from 2.0 to 1.7 mm.
Nipples are forged alloy and buried in the rim.
Rear spoking patterns benefit from the remarkable stiffness of the rim. The non-drive side of the rear wheel requires only half the traditional number of spokes. This allows higher non-drive side spoke tensions and lessens the spoke fatigue on this side of the wheels. Our hubs are lightweight, durable and precise. The front hub weighs only 68g, the rear 240g.
