Helical Aero Carbon Wheelset Built for Speed, Stability and All-Round Performance

Description

The Elite Drive Helix 57D CS Wheelset is engineered as a high-performance all-rounder, balancing aerodynamics, low weight and responsiveness. Designed for riders who want speed on flats without compromising climbing efficiency, it fits perfectly into modern race and endurance setups.

Helical Aerodynamic Rim Design: At the heart of the wheelset is Elite’s innovative undulating rim profile, developed to create a helical-shaped laminar airflow while riding. This unique rim shape improves aerodynamic stability and efficiency across varying yaw angles, helping maintain speed in real-world conditions.

Carbon Spoke & Rim Construction: The 57mm deep rims are built using UNI carbon fiber and paired with replaceable carbon spokes for optimal stiffness and reduced weight. This construction delivers excellent power transfer during accelerations while maintaining compliance for long rides.

Hub & Bearing Performance: The wheelset features a Star Ratchet hub system combined with S&S ceramic bearings for smooth rolling and long-term durability. The disc brake setup uses a Center Lock interface and is designed around modern thru-axle standards for precise alignment and braking control.

From climbs to fast group rides and rolling terrain, the Drive Helix 57D CS delivers speed, control and efficiency in one refined package, making it a true do-everything carbon disc wheelset.

Features

Helical Aerodynamic Rim Design: Undulating rim profile creates laminar airflow to improve real-world aerodynamic efficiency and crosswind stability.
UNI Carbon Rim Construction: Uses proprietary resin with Toray T800 & T1000 carbon for high stiffness, low weight and exceptional impact resistance.
Optimised Mixed Rim Depths: Front and rear rim depths are tuned to balance aerodynamics, climbing efficiency and handling confidence.
Replaceable Carbon Spokes: Lightweight 5.2 mm carbon spokes improve power transfer and aerodynamics while remaining fully serviceable.
Star Ratchet Hub System: Proven ratchet mechanism ensures fast engagement, durability and efficient power delivery.
Disc Brake Ready Setup: Center Lock interface with modern thru-axle standards for precise braking and alignment.

Technologies

Helix Undulating Rim Technology: Inspired by the tubercle effect in nature to improve airflow stability and reduce crosswind sensitivity.
Surface Hub with Star Ratchet: CNC-machined hub with precise 0.02 mm bearing seats for reduced rolling resistance and long bearing life.
S&S Ceramic Bearings: High-grade ceramic bearings lower friction and improve durability under long-distance and high-load riding.
