Rim Material | Road racing, endurance riding | Industry Standard: Aluminum (6061-T6, 600g per rim) Our Base: Carbon fiber (450g per rim) Our Advanced: High-modulus carbon (400g per rim) | ▲ Lighter than aluminum (reduces rotational weight) Strength-to-weight ratio | ▲ Advanced version reduces weight by 11% vs Base Carbon requires careful impact handling |
Braking Surface | Wet/dry conditions, all-weather cycling | Industry Standard: Alloy rims (wet braking efficiency: 0.3 friction) Our Base/Advanced: Carbon with textured finish (0.4 friction) | ▲ Improved wet braking (ISO 6407 compliance) Consistent performance in varied weather | ▲ No difference between Base/Advanced versions Requires carbon-specific brake pads (£15 extra) |
Spoke Material | High-torque applications (e.g., e-bikes) | Industry Standard: Steel spokes (14.5g per spoke) Our Base: Stainless steel (13g) Our Advanced: Carbon spokes (8g) | ▲ Advanced reduces spoke weight by 43% Aerodynamic profile reduces drag | ▲ Base version 10% lighter than standard Carbon spokes cost 2x more to replace |
Aerodynamic Design | Time trials, group rides | Industry Standard: 28mm rim depth (Cd: 0.32) Our Base: 35mm rim (Cd: 0.29) Our Advanced: 42mm rim (Cd: 0.26) | ▲ Advanced cuts air resistance by 19% vs Base Optimized for crosswind stability | ▲ Base version 10% faster than standard Deeper rims may flex in strong crosswinds |
Weight | Climbing-focused riding | Industry Standard: 1,650g wheelset Our Base: 1,450g Our Advanced: 1,320g | ▲ Advanced reduces total weight by 20% vs standard Enhances acceleration | ▲ Base version 12% lighter than standard Carbon requires careful handling to avoid damage |
Compatibility | Multi-bike setups, component upgrades | Industry Standard: Single freehub standard (e.g., Shimano HG) Our Base/Advanced: Dual HG/XDR compatibility (ISO 5775-2 certified) | ▲ Works with 90% modern drivetrains No need for hub conversions | ▲ No difference between Base/Advanced versions Wider tires may require rim clearance checks |
