ALCHEMIST rim 28" Pro Race Z348 Disc UD-Carbon matt | 24 hole
The alchemists searched for the philosopher's stone in order to be able to produce gold. As we know today, this was a foolish and never achievable endeavor. As a producer of bicycle parts, Alchemist has similarly lofty goals, but unlike its medieval predecessors, it achieves them.
Alchemist Pro Race carbon rims are manufactured in Italy. Toray T700 UD carbon fibers serve as the base material. These are held in shape by an unbreakable nanopolymer synthetic resin, which is also used in Formula 1 cockpits, resulting in a strong, torsionally rigid rim. The high impact resistance is achieved by the special Impact Perfomance (IP) processing of the fibers. This prevents delamination of the layers and thus also resists punctual impacts from the outside. Technical features such as reinforced spoke holes, hybrid rim flanges and a 34.8 mm high asymmetric aero profile leave no potential untapped.
Hybrid rim profile
Hybrid is a concept of hooked rims for road bikes and gravel rims. The hook on the rim flanges is much smaller than on conventional designs. This enables greater compatibility between tires and rims. In addition, the stability of the tread is increased in the event of punctures. Thanks to the newly developed production process, subsequent machining by milling and the use of additional carbon fiber layers are unnecessary.
Pro Race series
The name says it all. Pro Race carbon rims are developed for competition and have a unique geometric design and features that allow you to perform at your best. The low weight paired with stiffness offers unsurpassed reactivity and precision at high speeds and changes of direction.
