Carbon Spoke Wheelset

Built for racers and weight weenies, our carbon spoke wheelset delivers class-leading lateral stiffness and low rotating mass. These high-modulus carbon spokes offer snappier acceleration, sharper sprint response and reduced parasitic drag compared to conventional steel spokes.

Each spoke adopts a replaceable threaded joint design. If damaged, individual spokes can be swapped instead of scrapping the whole wheel.

Best for road racing, climbing, time trial and fast group rides.

  • ✅ Ultra-low rotating weight
  • ✅ Superior lateral stiffness for powerful out-of-the-saddle sprints
  • ✅ Aerodynamic shaped carbon spokes
  • ✅ Replaceable single-spoke construction
  • ⚠️ Note: Carbon spokes excel in race conditions. They are less tolerant to side impacts and hard knocks. Not the top pick for rough gravel, heavy touring or riders seeking maximum hassle-free durability.

Steel Flat Spoke Wheelset

Our premium steel flat-spoke wheelset is the reliable workhorse for everyday performance riding. Using proven Sapim / Pillar flat aero spokes, it balances aerodynamics, ride compliance and outstanding impact resistance.

Steel spokes are globally standardised: most local bike shops stock compatible replacements, and truing or spoke repair is quick and affordable anywhere. The subtle natural flex brings smoother long-distance comfort, reducing fatigue on all-day rides.

Ideal for all-road, gravel, commuting, training and long-distance gran fondos.

  • ✅ Excellent impact and shear resistance
  • ✅ Easy serviceability, widely available spare spokes
  • ✅ Comfortable compliant ride feel
  • ✅ Stable performance under heavy loads
  • ✅ Lower long-term maintenance cost
