Increase your cycling performance with the Carbon 48/50 Rim Brake. Featuring unique "shark fins" and wave rims, 6mm ultra-wide carbon spokes, and precision ratcheting hubs, the Ultra series is the absolute best in wheelsets chosen.
Wheels Drag Wind Tunnel Test
Superteam compared the drag of the Carbon 48/50 DB wheels to a pair of regular flat-rim wheels in a wind tunnel test. When the air density is constant, at a speed of 40km/h, the resistance received by Ultra Wheels is 1800N, and the resistance obtained by Standard 25mm Wheels is 2080N. Ultra Wheels experience 280N less resistance than Standard 25mm Wheels.
"Shark Fins" and Wave Rims
The bionic technology of the wave circle originally came from the nodule on the front edge of the humpback whale's pectoral fin. Experiments have proven that this bulge can bring better aerodynamic benefits. Rugged surfaces have better aerodynamic effects than smooth flat surfaces, reducing air resistance. Superteam has optimized the design of these dimples based on the characteristics of the aerodynamic wave circle, and adopted a "shark fin"-shaped matrix arrangement to better integrate these dimples and the wheel set.
Ceramic Bearings
The Superteam Carbon 48/50 wheels are all equipped with ceramic bearings for a smoother riding experience.Ceramic materials are generally harder than metals, so ceramic bearings have higher wear resistance. This means they maintain good performance for longer, requiring less frequent maintenance and replacement. Because ceramic bearings have a smooth surface and a lower coefficient of friction, they reduce energy loss, giving you greater efficiency and a smoother ride.
6mm Width Carbon Spokes
All Carbon Ultra uses 6mm carbon spokes, which are by far the widest in the world. Wide carbon spokes have two main advantages: 1. Wide carbon spokes have a larger area in the transverse direction, which makes them more stable when bearing lateral forces. 2. Wide carbon spokes have a larger load-bearing area, so they can disperse more vibration and impact forces, thereby improving ride comfort. The 6mm spokes are also just 0.9mm thick and weigh approximately 3.4g each, further reducing climbing and aerodynamic drag.
