Road Bike Rims - Red Wind XLR 80:


The Rim:
  • Integrated aluminium/carbon road bike rims structure: the exclusive coupling system of the aluminium rim and carbon structure makes these road bike rims extremely rigid, it allows to an excellent responsiveness levels and durability of the wheel.
  • Exclusive pressing system for the rim in unpainted carbon enables an extremely limited weight and a smooth surface free from imperfections.

Hubs and Flanges:
  • CULT ceramic bearings, the maximum in terms of smoothness thanks to the use of special reduced lubricant bearings. The cone and cup technology with absolute performance: easy ball/bearing adjustment – reduces possible ball/bearing play – precision operation – maintains performance over time.
  • Aluminium hub body (gives the wheel a high degree of lateral stiffness and reduces weight to the minimum) with oversize aluminum flange and Two-to- One™ technology to transmit all the power to the ground. Aluminum axle reduces the overall weight of the wheel.

Oversize Flange:
  • Increases the torsional stiffness and reactivity at each change of the rhythm of the pedal stroke.

Spokes and nipples
  • Aerodynamic profile in steel ensures the maximum aerodynamic penetration and, thanks to the material employed, lower weight and greater reactivity.??Self-locking oversize aluminium nipples: they reduce the peripheral mass of the road bike wheels to a minimum, thus increasing responsiveness. The nipples' self-locking system gives the correct tension of the spokes and does not require any maintenance.
