High Tech Design
Our unique 5-spoke carbon composite wheel is made using the latest technology, materials and manufacturing processes. This lightweight and exceedingly strong wheel is suitable for both racing and street use. The wheels have been tested at Rim Technology (UK government certified facility), and passed all the tests for road certification. And most important of all, our wheels are unique in that they are created as a single unit - we don't bond pieces together.
