From 2008, Pro Lite has decided to expand our Gavia wheelset range. Each Gavia wheelset is equipped with our patented "Bolzano" hub. The Pro-Lite Bolzano hub is designed to provide maximum power to output ratios, whilst offering superior wheel stability and structure. When coupled with the unique Pro-Lite spoke made from Swedish Stainless Steel, you have a combination that is everything the rider needs. During tests using several Pro riders, we used a power meter set at 300 watts of power over 50km and the results were amazing. The result was an average faster time over 50km of 89.2 seconds. What were also consistent were the comments riders made after each test. The phrase “those wheels are really fast” was repeated many times. It became evident that lighter wheels flex far too much under maximum load by the rider, showing that weight saving does have its disadvantages. An overly light wheel can cause the rider to waste power. A Pro-Lite wheel allows the rider to actually go faster using the same amount of power.
In plain English, the power transfer on a Pro-Lite wheel is the key to keeping you ahead of the rest. |

Gavia - Brake setup designed for ultimate performance: Pictured left is the lowered braking surface, and a conventional brake pad with the Pro-Lite brake pad. By lowering the braking surface, this puts the heat in a place where the rim is stronger, eliminating heat distortion and allowing tyre pressures of up to 150psi with dramatically reduced risk of blowout from braking heat.
This braking surface design will not distort under braking, unlike some other manufacturers' rims. You can see the difference.
The forward brake shoe pictured (blue) is the Pro-Lite pad which sits much lower, while the second brake shoe shoes a conventional pad sitting much higher. This highlights the critical importance of making sure the brake pad is aligned with the special braking surface.
Higher pressures mean faster times. With the introduction of a ceramic coating onto the braking surface, combined with the Pro-Lite brake pad supplied, you need never worry about braking performance again, in the wet or dry. |
