By adopting the proven rim profiles of the Artech series (without the Aeroscales) the R8 delivers best in benchmark-tested aerodynamic performance. With steel spokes and a total weight of just 1735 grams, it is the ultimate aero wheelset, built to excel both in the heat of competition and in the demands of daily training.
 
Beyond its low weight and aerodynamic advantage, the R8 combines exceptional lateral stiffness with uncompromising durability. Its 23 mm internal width hooked rim is aerodynamically optimized for 28 mm clincher and tubeless tires, offering the perfect balance of rolling resistance, efficiency, and comfort. Meanwhile, the mechanical labyrinth system protects against dirt ingress, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance.
