Racing Zero goes carbon for the first time in 2015, & does it in its own way: this is the first wheel on the market that combines a carbon rim & aluminum spokes. This new hybrid technology will combine the legendary stiffness of the aluminum Racing Zero with a much better reactivity thanks to the carbon rim, that reduces the peripheral weight & the wheel inertia. A really light wheel, with superior handling & optimal power transfer.
The rim A 29mm high carbon rim 17mm wide: a wider rim assures more comfort & a superior handling combined with more stiffness. The carbon is unidirectional, the highest performing carbon available on the market, with the 3k insertion on the braking surface, to allow better braking & superior durability. Aerodynamics: the wide & low profile, without any edge, reduces the friction coefficient.
The nipples Racing Zero Carbon is the first wheel on the market with a carbon rim & aluminum spokes: this means that the nipples, the connection between the two different materials, had to be redesigned & studied. The new nipples, inserted thanks to Mo Mag™ tech, are specially shaped to make the mounting process easier & to stay in position without any buffer plates in other material.
Hubs A carbon hub with an aluminum oversize flange: this solution assures more torsional stiffness & in consequence a greater reactivity at each change of pace whilst pedaling.
This means a greater efficiency in the transmission of power to the wheel. The front hub has been redesigned, it's now smaller & lighter than before, smoothness is assured by the well known USB (Universal Serial Bus) bearings technology.
