R2BIKE rim 28" Road | Gravel 45 UD Carbon matt
With this rim you can really pick up speed on the flat. Thanks to its 45 mm high, aerodynamic sidewall, it practically plows through the wind, allowing you to save valuable energy. With its low weight of less than 400g, even detours into the low mountain range are no problem. This means that you definitely have the perfect equipment on your bike, and safety has not been spared either, as it is approved for a system weight of 90 kg.
How did the developers achieve this? First and foremost, of course, the choice of material plays an important role. Not all carbon is the same. The decision was made to use the high-quality T800 fibers from Toray Industries, one of the world's leading suppliers of this material. These have incredible strength, are very stiff and yet are among the lightest on the market. However, high-end material alone does not make a high-quality product. It also depends on the manufacturing process, which is where the rims score points. Their sandwich construction combines different carbon layers. This enables specific, punctual reinforcements and therefore greater overall stability of the rim without increasing the weight.In addition, a carbon strip was used in the spoke hole area to prevent the nipples from tearing out and to allow higher spoke tension.
The unique, flawless look in an elegant matt finish is also achieved using a special resin. This allows the carbon layers to harden perfectly, prevents bubbles from forming and ensures a resistant surface. This means that even stone chips cannot harm it.
The rim flank has a classic hook for secure tire guidance. This prevents the tire from bouncing even at high air pressures and you always have your bike under control. Of course, the Ultralight can also be ridden tubeless.
The rim has an asymmetrical rim profile, which enables a more even spoke angle. This optimization 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 adjusted, making the wheel more stable in itself.
Despite all caution and quality, a fall or accident can damage the rim. So that you are not immediately ruined, we offer you a crash replacement of 50 % on the sales price valid at the time.
