Measuring an aerodynamically-sound 85mm depth, the aero profile on this high-level hoop allows you to cut through the air more potently and powerfully as you make those vital gains. Made from a lightweight and long-lasting carbon, it is more than capable of withstanding the pressures of rapid riding, making sure every second is accounted for on your path to the podium. Tubeless ready for added traction and reduced rolling resistance when you need it most, speed is definitely of the essence with the BlackEdition 85 Carbon Road Rim.
With an aerodynamically-sound 85mm depth, the aero profile on this top-end rim allows you to cut through the air with precision and speed, streamlining every run to perfection. Constructed from a lightweight and durable carbon fibre, it is well equipped to cope with the powerful rolling incurred by such speedy riding. Tubeless ready for added traction and reduced rolling resistance when you need it most and disc brake optimised for a more controlled stopping experience when putting on the reins, this modern road rim has personal bests and podiums running through it.
The freehub body has a superlight alloy construction and features our ABG (Anti Bite Guard) technology where an integrated reinforced steel rib has been incorporated to eliminate damage from driving forces placed on individual sprockets. The RD010 features 4 pawls and 26 point engagement which ensures superfast pick up for increased acceleration and positive engagement. A grease port for home maintenance will prolong bearing life and reduce service intervals.
Wider = Improved Performance The Prime BlackEdition 85 Carbon Front Wheel features an 85mm deep aero rim profile, meaning you get more speed for the same effort. A wider rim profile creates a more linear contour with the tyre to increase the BlackEdition 85's aerodynamic properties. Greater Strength To Weight Ratio Built up using a R010 CNC machined 6061 hub and DT Swiss straight pull spokes, the Prime BlackEdition 85 Carbon Front Wheel creates a stiffer wheel with a greater strength to weight ratio and more reactivity. Aero Advantage If you're looking for an advantage in your next TT or Triathlon event, the Prime BlackEdition 85 Carbon Front Wheel is the ultimate choice. Lightweight Rim We’ve experimented with numerous types of resin and tested countless new lay ups before we settled on our new and improved BlackEdition rim. But, that’s not all, we’ve upgraded to a higher grade of carbon, saving precious grams, and improving on the impact strength/weight ratio making the new BlackEdition our best rim yet.
