FEATURES
- Hookless rim design enhances overall durability and offers a wide 22.4mm inner rim width without adding weight
- Optimized carbon layup features high tensile strength carbon fiber placed at the most crucial points for a stiff, strong but lightweight wheel
- Low friction hub with precision machined internals eliminates excessive bearing load, reducing bearing friction, lowering rolling resistance and minimizing power loss
- Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) ensures spokes are set for optimal tension when pedaling, resulting in enhanced durability and transmission efficiency
- The enlarged DBL hub flange increases spoke bracing angles, boosting overall torsional/transmission and lateral stiffness for better power transfer
