Our Aero 45 wheelset is built to take punishment, with carbon fiber rims, 45mm deep. It's ready to cope with rim brakes and clincher or tubeless tires from 25mm up to 45 mm for gravel events. This is a wheelset for the bigger man – up to 230 lbs/105 kgms.  

For speed and efficiency, the 25mm-wide rim mates a 25mm tire with the tapering carbon rim. The result is a streamlined cross section of combined tire and rim that lets the wheel slip through the air, without any gaps to disturb the smooth airflow and cause drag.

The wheelset's 1430 gram light weight comes from a deep rim in T700 and T800 carbon fiber, supplied by Toray, a leading international carbon cloth manufacturer. Using Toray fiber keeps weight down, but adds such strength and stiffness that we are confident enough to give this wheelset a two-year warranty.

The Aero 45 is available with excellent hubs, either DT 24OS and DT 350 S hubs, ready for Shimano 11 and 12-speed gear systems. These sealed bearing hubs come with skewers. They offer great value and reliability. They will not fail when you need them most. They are easy to service, and parts are easily available.

To keep the Aero 45 wheelset tight, tough and true, we specified Sapim CX-Ray aero-profile spokes, which are known to be light, strong, flexible and extremely fatigue resistant. The front 20 spokes are laced radially – the rear wheel has 24 in a two-cross pattern. The racer feels confident with this wheelset.  

Features

Wide Rim Tech

25mm rim wide creates a better, more stable support, while the shape of the tire and rim together creates regular, stable air flow, in short, more aerodynamics, less attrition. provides an ideal basis for 25/28mm tires, the sizes currently popular.

2-Way Clincher Tubeless. Tubes or No-Tubes

Use either traditional tires with tubes, or tubeless tires without tubes. Tubeless tires can provide lower rolling resistance and better protection from punctures.

Sapim CX-RAY As light as a titanium spoke

The CX-Ray still receives the best results in fatigue testing of any spoke. The CX-Ray aero spoke combines excellent aerodynamics with low weight and great strength. Not only are they more aerodynamic, they also make wheels lighter and stronger. Its unique strength and flexibility make the CX-Ray suitable for most bicycle disciplines. CX-Ray spokes are used by top bike racers and triathletes around the world.
