THE SPOKES
NACA 0029 (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) airfoil section spokes are seamlessly integrated from root-to-tip into the 46mm rim to create a super low-aerodynamic drag system that behaves like a bladed steel spoked wheel with a 100mm rim at a fraction of the weight with unrivaled cross-wind handling. These spokes maintain their NACA 0029 shape at the very critical rim-spoke interface, unlike steel spokes which loose their blade shape. They weigh only 3 grams each, but they are five times stiffer than their steel competitors with three times the compression strength and double the tensile strength. Each spoke is precisely inserted into the rim at the factory to create zero residual stress with a unique Quad-drive™ rear wheel technology that gets the rider maximum torque with no flex when the power is applied. The wheels never need adjusting and stay true for the life of the wheel. Available standard black or with the optional distinctive Yellow Spoke of Champions. |
