The C5.0AERO headlines our new lineup of carbon wheels with an emphasis on aerodynamics. We have focused our attention on the shape of the rims and have increased the depth and width to achieve a more foil profiled rim.

Although depth is increased the weight is kept low. At 1430g/pair it is one of the lightest carbon clincher wheelsets available in this depth.

These wheels are built for speed. At their rim depth and shape, these are ideally suited to fast rides and races as they hold high speeds easily due to their aerodynamic qualities. Spinup is also quick because of the lightweight rims which reduce rotational weight. These are the quintessential  wheelset for road racing and triathlons, if you had to chose only 1 wheelset for all your racing needs, the C5.0AERO would be it.Add this to the conveniences of a clincher tyre and you have a wheelset that is hard to beat.

We had dealt with many issues in the development of this rim. Heat dissipation is handled through a military grade epoxy formulation that reduces temperature buildup during prolonged braking. Side wall distortion is also reduced with a new carbon layup. Rear rim has been stiffened and weight has increased to further enhance durability. This also allowed a higher spoke tension for the rear.

Our Prodigy wheels feature our own SOUL PRODIGY hubs which weight 270g/pair, and use only 1 spoke length for the entire wheelbuild. The SOUL hubs feature a smoother freewheel design with 2 sets of 3 simultaneously engaging pawls and 2 sealed bearings front and 4 sealed bearings rear.

Fully artisan crafted and handbuilt with equal spoke tensions. Spoke threads are preped before assembly to prevent spoke binding and seizing. All spokes are stress relieved a few times during build process.
