Rims

In designing the Drive Helix 68D CS wheelset, the goal was to create something that ticked all of the boxes. It had to not only be aero, light, laterally stiff, strong, but also crosswind resistant. To accomplish this, we used our in-house UNI carbon fiber, which is a mixture of our custom resin and genuine Japanese Toray T800 and T1000 carbon fiber. It allows our wheels to be stiff, light, and strong enough to go far beyond the UCI’s vertical impact test. Our patented undulating rim design draws inspiration from the tubercle effect found widely in nature, allowing for a significant improvement in stability in windy conditions.

The wheels are aerodynamically optimized for 700 x 28-30c tires. The front wheel’s wider 31.8mm external width improves airflow around the rim, offering further stability in crosswinds. Both the front and rear rim depths were also chosen specifically to meet the needs of road riders. The Drive Helix 68D CS’s mixed depth wheels allow for the best of both worlds when it comes to aerodynamics, weight, and control.

Spokes

No stone was left unturned when designing the Drive Helix 68D CS wheelset. Newer, more aerodynamic carbon spokes were selected without sacrificing weight or durability, allowing them to remain approximately 3 grams each. These 5.2mm spokes are the most aerodynamic of their kind available.

What makes our spokes special is that unlike bonded carbon fiber spokes, these are replaceable just like traditional steel spokes. Using a more advanced design, Drive Helix CS spokes do not experience spoke twist, so they are always in the most aerodynamic orientation and do not lose spoke tension over time.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1636436261896{margin-right: -5% !important;margin-left: -5% !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1636625730552{margin-right: 5% !important;margin-left: 5% !important;background-color: #f0f2f2 !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”60839″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image” title=”Drive Helix 68D hub” css=”.vc_custom_1753087594437{margin-top: -10px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1753067527370{margin-right: 20px !important;margin-left: 20px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;}”]

Surface Hub

What makes the Surface hub unique is its star ratchet freehub mechanism, which has been tried and tested for years on our MTB and TT wheelsets. Just like all of our other designs, the Surface hub is made by us using 5-axis CNC machines. High-grade precision S&S ceramic bearings were chosen to improve their lifespan and reduce rolling resistance, saving you precious watts. While having high quality bearings is important, a perfect bearing seat fit is essential for optimal performance. Our CNC machines precisely machine bearing seats to 0.02mm tolerances, guaranteeing exceptionally low rolling resistance and improving longevity.

Aerodynamic Testing

At Elitewheels, we see value in ensuring what we offer performs rather than just looking good on paper. In addition to the 20+ laboratory test at our factory, we also employ CFD testing as well as real world testing by our pro teams and riders.

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) allows us to aerodynamically optimize wheelsets before even producing the first prototype. During the design phase, we conduct a series of advanced computer simulations that take hundreds of hours each. After our engineering team is satisfied, we are ready for stress testing in our lab.

Once the development of our wheels is finished, we not only test the wheels out ourselves, but we also send them to professional cyclists. We are working with our sponsored UCI continental pro teams and riders, getting their feedback. Their experience riding hundreds of thousands of kilometers each with a large number of wheelsets gives us a unique perspective.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1636435287316{margin-right: -5% !important;margin-left: -5% !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”37859″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1724060481924{margin-right: 5% !important;margin-left: 5% !important;}” title=”in the box disc brake drive”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1636435287316{margin-right: -5% !important;margin-left: -5% !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
