RIMS

Elitewheels is a big proponent of marginal gains and knows that many small improvements can add up. The Velo Six Disc features a wider internal rim width improving rolling resistance with wider tires, which have the added benefit of improved comfort on less than optimal road surfaces as well as increasing grip in wet conditions. The 28mm outer width was chosen to make the wheelset aerodynamically optimized for 25-28mm tires without compromising the wheel’s aerodynamics.

*The Velo Six Disc features Glossy Raw Finish which is created by putting a clearcoat over the rim without additional finish. This allows for you to see the actual UD carbon layup. Any small imperfections that are covered up by traditional Matte, Glossy, 3K, or 12k finish, are made visible. These cosmetic imperfections exist on all carbon wheels regardless of the finish and have no impact on performance or durability.

SPOKES

What separates this wheelset from the pack is the shape of the spokes. While there are other one piece road wheels available, not all of the spokes are designed with aerodynamics in mind. Our engineers have optimized the wheelset to minimize the coefficient of drag through by reducing the spokes’ frontal area and mimicking the ideal teardrop shape.

PERFORMANCE HUB

Elitewheels designs and manufactures its own hubs. The front and rear hubs are made of 7075 aluminum which is known for it’s high strength. The lightweight freehub uses a 36t ratchet system for straightforward maintenance and proven reliability.

CERAMIC BEARINGS

The S&S ceramic bearings in the Velo Six Disc were specifically chosen for their low rolling resistance and excellent durability. Using Fanuc CNC machines, our hubs are machined to a tolerance of 0.02mm. This precision is especially important for ceramic bearings to minimize rolling resistance and increase longevity.
