Elite Wheels Drive
The Elite Wheels Drive set is an option aimed at demanding cyclists seeking lightness, stiffness, good aerodynamics, and compatibility with modern road bikes. Thanks to its construction with carbon rims, carbon spokes, and high-quality hubs, it offers a balance of performance, pedaling efficiency, and versatility.
Main features
-
Rims made from high-quality carbon fiber: reduce overall weight and improve stiffness compared to metal rims.
-
Carbon spokes: aero spokes (generally 3.2-4.5 mm depending on version) that provide greater lateral stiffness and better power transfer.
-
Compatible with clincher or tubeless tires: allows flexibility in mounting type according to tire preference.
-
Disc brake compatible: mounting with 12×100 mm front thru-axle / 12×142 mm rear and disc brake (Center Lock interface by default).
-
Hubs with ceramic bearings (depending on version): offer smooth rotation, better efficiency, and durability.
