If you like climbing, but also want an aero boost, then our Fast and Light 40 carbon wheels might just be the wheels for you. Our wheels are perfect for those long draggy climbs, the ones where you can still get an advantage from drafting, and our wheels are just like drafting someone on these climbs.

When you’re climbing though you’ll want wheels that are stiff and light, by using Toray T700 carbon fiber to construct our rims we have built you a set of wheels that are exactly that. When you stand up to pedal, you’ll not get any sideways flex with our wheels. They’ll not touch your brake blocks, and you’ll just get forward momentum.

We also made sure that we kept our tubeless rim light. We don’t want to be carrying excess weight, and our 40mm deep wheels will be lighter than many box section wheels. You’ll find them a lot lighter than you expected when you take them out the box. You’ll also be pleased to know that they come with a 2-year warranty and are UCI certified to race at the highest levels.

We wanted reliable and affordable hubs to go with this wheelset, so we picked of Novatec FS522SB/AS511SB hubs. Novatec hubs feature sealed bearings and come with reliability as standard, they are easy to service, and if you need parts, then they are pretty easy to pick up.

Keeping our wheels aero, we have laced the Fast and Light 40 with a set of Sapim CX-Ray aero spokes. These spokes are used in more custom wheels builds than any other spoke; the reason is simple; they are light, strong, and highly fatigue resistant.

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.

High Quality Straight Pull Hub

Novatec straight pull hub with 4 pawls and high quality Japanese sealed EZO bearings, it can use 3-5 years under normal usage. Thousands of riders all over the world on these hubs and they are great performers and super durable.

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.
