Known for making extremely strong and rigid wheels, Pro-Lite is breaking new ground with a 5-spoke design destined to make some waves.

What are the benefits of using a  carbon wheel?

Well, the obvious benefits are with vastly improved strength that can be engineered to be at its best where it is most needed. The result is a phenomenally strong wheel with unbelievable rigidity.

Another important benefit for racers is aerodynamics. Many devices are used on standard wheels to reduce the drag generated by the turbulence of dozens of spokes ripping through the air. This is no longer necessary thanks to modern knowledge passed down from the aerospace industry. Pro-Lite has  implemented an aerodynamically neutral profile that also minimizes air resistance when spinning.

All this is pretty cool for racers, but what about regular riders who just want a wheel that they can put thousands of miles per year on?

No spokes and a simple but high quality bearing set make these wheels very user-friendly. No mucking about with spoke wrenches and truing stands. Just load up a bit of rubber and slap them on your bike. They will give you phenomenal performance, mile after mile and season after season.
