The revolutionary DARC profile improves aerodynamics dramatically by reducing the drag. Air has the characteristic to stick to its surface & by creating a negative arc section the air will be compressed more at the positive section. This will increase the pressure just like on the topside of an airfoil. Increased pressure results in a faster airflow & less resistance on the wheel which reduces the drag & increases the speed. Carbon TC-35: The Carbon TC35 is a material characterised by its high strength. This is important in a wheel to add durability & an extra level of stiffness to the wheels which makes them easier to turn. The wheels are therefore super robust & superior to other wheels made from other kinds of carbon. This level of durability makes them highly capable at being used in a variety of different environments. DT Swiss Hub Technology: DT Swiss hubs have earned their legendary reputation for quality & performance. There are multiple features that make this hub design a winner: The Ratchet System driver mechanism is extremely durable, reliable & can be serviced without special tools in minutes, thanks to its simple press fit assembly. The press fit assembly also allows all hubs to work in almost any currently existing axle configuration, making them compatible with almost every bike. The contact free seals & high precision build guarantee smooth bearings; every bit of the rider’s energy is transformed into forward momentum. These features & the super lightweight design of all the hub parts highlight the racing legacy of this classic hub. DT Swiss Pro Lock: DT Pro Lock nipples prevent the spoke-nipple connection from loosening. This patented locking system is based on a special pre-applied dual compound adhesive, which coats the nipple threads. As soon as the nipples are twisted, the dual compound adhesive starts to react & is completely hardened after 6-7 hours. Internal tests show that the reliability & durability of a wheel built with DT Pro Lock nipples are increased up to twenty times compared with the use of standard nipples Buy Fast Forward Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
