The hub is the mechanical heart of a wheel, but it is also one of the components the rider sees least. With its Infinity Hub platform, Mavic offers a hub design intended to guarantee even spoke tension, quiet running and easier servicing.
The freehub body is the mechanism that transfers the rider’s pedalling effort to the rear wheel. Mavic has developed its own system, called Instant Drive 360 (ID360), now fitted across its entire road range. Here is how it works.
At Mavic, the connection between the spokes and the carbon rim does not rely on conventional drilling. Fore Carbon technology uses metal inserts embedded in the carbon during moulding, which keeps the upper bridge of the rim completely intact.
Hunt Bike Wheels is committed to sustainable cycling with its “Sustain Phase One” initiative. Found on models such as the 42 Carbon Disc Ti, this innovation reduces environmental impact while preserving the performance of carbon and alloy wheels.
Hunt Bike Wheels has established itself as an innovative player in bike wheels. With its patented Limitless technology, the British brand pushes back the limits of aerodynamics and light weight for carbon wheels.
Campagnolo, the renowned Italian brand, continues to innovate for demanding cyclists. Among its flagship technologies, CULT (Ceramic Ultimate Level Technology) bearings stand out for their ability to optimise the performance of carbon wheels and cranksets.
Campagnolo’s Aero Mo-Mag technology optimises the performance of carbon wheels. Used on iconic models such as the Bora Ultra WTO and Hyperon Ultra, it combines aerodynamics, light weight and durability.
Here we explore a major innovation in carbon wheels: Campagnolo’s H.U.L.C. technology. Behind the acronym (Handmade Ultra-Light Carbon) lies a technical advance that combines light weight, robustness and performance.
Among the hub technologies on the market, DT Swiss’s Ratchet EXP has become a benchmark for performance, reliability and ease of maintenance. Here is how it works and what it brings.
Campagnolo’s C-LUX (Campagnolo Luxury) finish stands out for its clean looks and its functional benefits: no lacquer, less weight and a rim bed optimised for tubeless.
