CARBON-TI wheelset 28" X-Wheel Baccara X 42 SLR2
With the help of the X-Wheel wheelset, your competitors will only see you from behind. Due to the low weight, you can accelerate quickly and also have enough reserves for a quick start on the mountain. Tested and ridden by many professional athletes, you too will have a lot of fun with it.
The X-Hub SP hubs from Carbon-Ti rotate in the center. Their elaborately CNC-milled housing moves around a multi-butted aluminum axle with a diameter of 17 mm. This generates an extraordinarily high level of rigidity and steering movements are passed on directly. The high-quality, double-sealed industrial ball bearings from SKF ensure permanently smooth running. To extend the service life, the axle play can be easily adjusted via the pre-load adjustment ring.
On the rear wheel hub, the freewheel grips four pawls, each with three teeth, in a 56-tooth titanium ring. This means that it will easily withstand performance-oriented drivers.
Of course, Duke has its class leader in the road bike sector in its range this season as well. Visually and haptically, but also with the technical data, this rim does not need to hide from the competition.
With the X series, the French are primarily targeting comfort-conscious long-distance cyclists. Thanks to the enormous inner width of 23 mm, even large-volume tires get their optimal shape, filtering out impacts from the ground better and providing more grip. The rim height of 42 mm enables a very stiff wheel and at the same time very good aerodynamic values due to the special rim profile.
Thanks to the SLS2 manufacturing technology developed by Duke, the weight is reduced by around 10% compared to its predecessor, while at the same time increasing durability and stability. Here, too, post-processing or painting after production is not necessary. The use of highly modular carbon fibers also improves the inherent damping, which in turn has a positive effect on driving comfort. The modified structure also enables unrestricted tubeless use.
The connection between rims and hubs is taken over by Sapim CX-Ray straightpull spokes. In addition to their low weight, these have exceptional resilience and flexibility. This also results in the large intended use . It doesn't matter whether you are a racing cyclist or a mountain biker, everyone benefits from these positive characteristics. In addition, the flattened center section ensures excellent aerodynamics. The high material quality enables the construction of stable wheels and guarantees a long service life.
In addition, the elimination of the heavily stressed spoke arch eliminates a potential point of breakage and thus further minimizes the susceptibility to punctures.
You have the option of choosing between different sticker colors for optimal visual adaptation to your bike. Whether subtle or eye-catching, you will find your individual favorite decor.
A notice:
Only use Center Lock rings for 15/20 mm thru axles with external teeth to mount the brake disc. Otherwise it is not possible to position the tool correctly because of the pre-load ring.
