Description
Aero-optimized Disc Wheelset for Road & Gravel Performance
Engineered for speed-seekers and adventure riders alike, this disc-specific wheelset combines aerodynamic efficiency with versatile tire compatibility. The elliptical rim profile slices through wind resistance while maintaining optimal strength-to-weight ratios—perfect for road racers chasing PRs or gravel explorers tackling mixed terrain.
Key Advantages:
– Wider Tire Range: Seamlessly pairs with 23-28c road tires while the 20mm inner width accommodates voluminous gravel/cross tires (up to 40c) for enhanced traction
– Tubeless-Ready Design: Prepped for hassle-free tubeless setups (Velocity’s 21mm Velotape recommended for airtight sealing)
– Cross-Discipline Adaptability: Equally at home on tarmac sprints, cyclocross courses, or backcountry bikepacking routes
Why Choose This Wheelset?
Feature | Standard Rims | Our Design |
---|---|---|
Aerodynamics | Basic U-shape | Elliptical profile for reduced drag |
Tire Compatibility | Limited to narrow tires | Supports road to gravel widths |
Weight Efficiency | Often heavier | Optimized balance for climbing/acceleration |
Ideal for riders prioritizing speed without sacrificing durability—whether you’re training for gran fondos or navigating rocky descents. The refined shape minimizes turbulence, letting you conserve energy on long rides while the robust construction handles rough surfaces. Pair with low-rolling-resistance tires for race-day edges or high-volume treads for all-day comfort.
Note: Includes tubeless valve holes; compatible with most disc brake systems (6-bolt/centerlock).
