In essence, you get the aerodynamic benefits without compromising control, ensuring you're at your best when it matters the most.
In the world of bike wheels, every little detail can make a difference. That's why we made the Hyperdrive 50mm wheelset even better than before. We used high-tech tools, like computer Fluid Dynamics ( CFD ), to make these wheels highly competitive in the current market.
What does this mean for riders? Well, these wheels are designed to cut through the air with less drag. So, even when the wind isn’t on your side, you can keep a smooth and fast ride.
We didn’t stop there. We took a good look at our older model, the 50mm Hyperdrive, and asked ourselves how we could make it even better. We also listened to feedback from people who ride our wheels every day and made changes based on what they told us. Tell us who's done that before! Customer-driven data that equals performance gains.
So, with the Hyperdrive 50mm wheelset, you get a wheel that’s not just fast but also built with care and attention to detail, making your rides even more enjoyable.
