DUKE Rim 28" Baccara X 78 SLR2 UD-Carbon symmetrical
Duke naturally has its class leader in the road bike and gravel sector in its range this season too. Visually and haptically, but also in terms of technical data, this rim has nothing to hide from the competition.
With the X-series, the French are primarily addressing the comfort-conscious long-distance cyclist. The enormous inner width of 23 mm means that even large-volume tires are given the optimum shape, filtering impacts from the ground better and providing more grip. The rim height of 75 mm enables a very stiff wheel and at the same time, thanks to the special rim profile, excellent aerodynamic values. This leaves everyone behind on the flat.
Thanks to the SLR2 manufacturing technology developed by Duke, the weight has been reduced by approx. 10% compared to its predecessor, while at the same time increasing durability and stability. Here too, there is no need for reworking or painting after production. The use of highly modular carbon fibers also improves the inherent damping, which in turn has a positive effect on riding comfort. The modified design also enables unrestricted tubeless use.
The rims have 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.
