Using the very latest 3D software & manufacturing techniques, we have ensured that the aerodynamics of this wheel cut through the air with minimum drag & maximum performance, both against rotational & forward air resistance. Pro-Lite’s flagship 5-spoke wheel uses a rounded leading edge design appropriate for typical bicycle racing speeds, with a gentle, flat taper towards the trailing edge. The spokes have a subtle parabolic curve & forward sweep along the platform to improve aerodynamics on rotation where airspeed is greater. The rim has also been designed with a similar shape, using the tyre as the leading edge against forward movement. Cutting edge high pressure forming techniques were developed specifically for this wheel (and subsequently adopted for the rest of our in-house carbon manufacturing line), yielding extremely hard, extremely rigid carbon fibre which maximizes power output without compromising weight. Virtually maintenance free & featuring exceptionally low rolling resistance angular contact bearings, riders can simply fit it & ride.
