No.6 42/48 Superlight All Round Road Wheelset – 1145g

The No.6 42/48 Superlight All Round Wheelset is engineered as the ultimate all-round race system — balancing aerodynamic performance, low weight, and control across varied terrain and changing conditions.

Developed through ProjectSpeed, every element of the 42/48 platform is refined to maximise efficiency under load. The mixed-depth profile combines a 42mm front for stability and control with a 48mm rear for aerodynamic gain and sustained speed, delivering a highly versatile performance setup suited to racing, fast group riding, and demanding road conditions.

At 1145g (±20g), the system achieves an optimal balance between climbing efficiency and aerodynamic advantage, making it a strong choice for riders seeking one wheelset capable of performing across all scenarios.

  • Designed to Disrupt: Engineered to challenge conventional wheel design, delivering measurable performance gains across multiple riding conditions.
  • Racing Pedigree: Developed and validated under real race conditions where speed, control, and efficiency must coexist.
  • Engineered as a System: Rim depth, width, carbon layup, and hub engagement are developed together to optimise performance as a complete system.
