Technologies

• ImPress™ Technology: Description: Direct-print graphics technology that integrates graphics onto the wheel surface. This approach helps in controlling vortex shedding, which is crucial for maintaining wheel stability and reducing aerodynamic drag.
• Sawtooth™ Rim Profile: Patented variable depth 53/58mm rim design inspired by biomimicry. Combines precise engineering and nature-inspired solutions to balance aerodynamic drag and side force. This design reduces aerodynamic drag and improves stability across various wind yaw angles.
• Hyperfoil™ Nodes: Patented fin-shaped structures on the rim, featuring HexFin ABLC dimples. They increase vortex shedding frequency, enhancing wheel stability in gusty winds. This results in better rider control and energy efficiency by minimizing the effort needed to maintain a line.
• HexFin ABLC Dimples: Hexagonally shaped depressions arranged in fin-shaped clusters. These dimples improve airflow attachment to the rim, reducing aerodynamic drag and enhancing stability in crosswinds. The arrangement and angular shape contribute to better aerodynamic performance.
• Axial Clutch V2™: Advanced hub technology that reduces drag by disengaging the ratchet mechanism during coasting. It uses magnets instead of steel springs for engagement, offering lower friction and quicker engagement. This system allows for better speed maintenance and efficiency during coasting and cornering.
• Total System Efficiency™ (TSE): A comprehensive approach to carbon-wheel manufacturing that optimizes rim design for greater speed. TSE addresses key performance barriers like wind resistance, rolling resistance, gravity, and vibration losses, resulting in a more efficient and faster riding experience.
