The fastest, lightest, most advanced road wheel we’ve ever built. Just 1329 grams!

The 55 Road Disc SL sits at the very top of the Podium Series—engineered without compromise for riders who demand absolute performance. Every gram, every layer, every detail has been optimized to deliver a wheelset that is brutally fast, incredibly responsive, and built to win.

No Shortcuts Taken

At the core of the 55 SL is a next-generation rim built with T1000 aerospace-grade carbon fiber—a material reserved for the most demanding applications.

The result?

  • Massive 140J impact strength—overbuilt for real-world riding conditions
  • Ultra-light 400g rim weight
  • A ride quality that feels both precise and unshakably solid

This is strength without penalty. Speed without sacrifice. Manufacturing without compromise.

Engineered for Balance and Precision

A subtle but powerful advantage: a 2.5mm rim offset.

This design equalizes spoke tension between drive and non-drive sides, creating a wheel that is:

  • Stronger under load
  • More laterally stiff
  • More responsive when accelerating

It’s the kind of engineering detail you feel every time you stand on the pedals.
