DUKE rim 28" Baccara Ultra 48 SLR2 Disc UD-Carbon asymmetric
High speeds on slightly hilly routes are exactly what this medium-height rim is made for. Its impressive aerodynamic properties, coupled with a weight of less than 400g, are unrivaled. Nevertheless, safety has not been spared, as it is approved for a system weight of 95 kg.
How did the French achieve this? They took a closer look at the individual elements of the rim and looked for ways to optimize them. In particular, a new resin was used. This not only made it possible to reduce weight, but also to increase impact resistance. Thanks to the SLS2 production process, no reworking or painting is necessary after production. The use of highly modular carbon fibres also improves the inherent damping, which in turn has a positive effect on riding comfort. The modified design enables unrestricted tubeless use and brings measurable aerodynamic benefits.
In the Ultra version, material has also been saved in non-critical areas in order to save further weight without compromising functionality.
The rim has an asymmetrical rim profile, which enables a more even spoke angle. This optimization of the spoke angle has a number of advantages. The tension on both sides can be better aligned, which is beneficial to the durability of the spokes and the wheel as a whole. The normally direction-dependent lateral stiffness is also equalized, making the wheel more stable.
