    Features & Benefits

    23mm Internal Channel

    The 23C rim is designed to accommodate tyresstarting from 28mm, improving the overall aerodynamics of the wheel-tire system. External nipples simplify maintenance and truing operations, making adjustments quick and accessible. The ABS system prevents loosening of nipples and spokes, ensuring long-lasting stability and reliability.

    High-Modulus Carbon Rim

    Made in high-modulus UD and 3K carbon fibre, the SL5 ensures outstanding stiffness and responsive power transfer, all while maintaining a lightweight profile at just 1390g per pair.

    Allroad Hub Technology

    With lower flanges, the hub body is more compact and aerodynamic, reducing air resistance and improving pedaling efficiency. The lightweight structure ensures a significant weight reduction without compromising strength. The result is a reliable, smooth-running hub.

    40 Tooth Ratchet System

    The 40-tooth dual ratchet system halves the engagement angle compared to the previous generation, providing an immediate response to pedaling. The cylindrical spring ensures greater stability and consistent operation of the mechanism.


    RFID Technology

    Originality verification and warranty activation. An RFID tag connected to a smartphone app provides to the customers the authenticity of their purchase and ensures they can easily access warranty services. RFID tag (Radio Frequency Identification) is a small chip containing information about a product, allowing it to be digitally and uniquely identified. This allows the consumer to verify that the wheelset they are buying is original.
