Description
Lightweight, durable, and precisely engineered road wheelset.
Optima wheels use filament-wound carbon rims for exceptional strength, uniformity, and low weight. Each rim is molded with continuous fiber placement and requires no clear coat, keeping mass to a minimum while exceeding industry impact standards.
The wheels are built with Alpina aero spokes and self-locking nipples, using Ultralite Aero or Extralite Aero spokes where appropriate for optimal stiffness and longevity.
Bitex BX360 hubs with a 36T star ratchet provide fast engagement, reliable sealing, and long-term serviceability.
Every wheelset is hand-built with a maximum 5% spoke-tension variance, fully stress-relieved, and checked for precise dish and roundness. Optional wheel balancing is included.
Compatible with 28–45 mm tires.
Maximum system weight: 110 kg.
