hubset: Elan Aero wheel systems orbit around a
proprietary hub designed and manufactured in the USA. The front hub features a
unique 80mm wide flange placement which increases lateral wheel stiffness by
nearly 20%. Patented Differential Flange Diameter™ on the rear hub lends a
mechanical advantage effectively doubling the number of functional pulling
spokes; increasing wheel durability. CNC machined, black anodized hub shells
with oversized axles provide high strength, stiffness and light weight.
Optimized flange contours provide full spoke elbow support, increasing spoke
life. Hubs also feature precision cartridge bearings with low drag supplementary
contact seals and bearing preload adjustment on both front and rear hub shells.

body has 3 sprung steel pawls for a bomb-proof torque transfer system. Pawls are
driven by 3 hardened steel leaf springs. The system is strong, simple and
dependable.

semi-aero rim profile with a narrow spoke bed to minimize weight. The rims are

version. Brushed sidewalls.

reinforced rim tape and titanium quick release skewers (89g / set).
