Xlab Carbon Disc v2.0 Rear Wheel

Description

Introduction

This wheel design has been used extensively in the professional peloton over the past three years.

Low Drag Convex Design

Flat discs are the best for indoor use or on a totally windless day where only the minimal frontal area and low friction surface is important aerodynamically speaking. However, when the wind is coming from the side, even just 5°, the air has a harder time staying in contact with the surface of the disc. Convex shaped wheels generally perform better in these conditions because the air does not have to bend’ as much as with a flat disc to stay in contact with the disc surface.

Superlight Hubs

The super lightweight rear cassette hub shaves the weight even further, down to an incredible 1050 grams for the 700c tubular disc.

Low Drag Disc Finish

The discs have a new gloss finish greatly reducing friction compared with other wheels and yet Xlab has been able to even reduce weight due to the latest carbon fiber technology.
