HYPERDRIVE 50MM TECH SPECS
- Rims | Superior 700c Design Crafted with passion and precision by our dedicated data team. Drawing inspiration from cutting-edge aerodynamic principles, the Hyperdrive 50mm showcases unparalleled stability, even in demanding wind conditions. This is achieved by using our Hyperdrive technology using a combination of its 17mm internal and 27 mm external width alongside a defining 50mm profile.
- Bearings | The Heartbeat of Smoothness At the core of our wheelset's efficiency is key this is achieved by the Ldrag bearing system. Tested for its low-friction, it ensures that every ounce of your effort is transformed into forward motion. This isn’t just about speed it’s about redefining the riding experience. More miles and less maintenance allow for cheaper running costs for your performance addition.

THE ADVANTAGES
When it comes to aerodynamics, every detail matters. The Hyperdrive 50mm wheelset is engineered to minimise drag, allowing you to maintain an aerodynamic tuck even in challenging wind conditions. This means you can stay in your power zone longer, making every pedal stroke count. 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.
WHY BREAK THE BANK?

Large Flange
Our large flange rear hub is a pivotal component designed to optimise bike performance. The increased flange diameter significantly enhances wheel rigidity and strength, particularly beneficial for high-torque scenarios like climbing or sprinting. This design leads to a more efficient power transfer from the rider to the road, ensuring minimal energy loss. Additionally, the large flange facilitates shorter spoke lengths, which further contributes to wheel stiffness and durability, while also reducing rotational weight for quicker acceleration.
