AERO 30 WHEELS

BikePRO has now released a production road racing wheel based soley on performance and function.

LOADING

The Aero 30 racing wheel has been designed to resist the 5 major loads placed on wheels as follows:

1. STATIC LOAD - The dead weight of rider and bicycle

2. DYNAMIC/ROAD RIDER LOADS - The forces applied by the cyclist during ride

3. TORSION LOADS - Rotation force applied

4. LATERAL LOADS - The portion of load that is horizontal, mostly in cornering and sprinting

5. TIRE PRESSURE LOADS - Equal distribution of PSi pressure of tyre

DESIGN PRINCIPALS

The Aero 30 production wheel employs a 20 spoke front wheel and 24 spoke rear wheel to optimise weight, rigidity and aerodynamics. A higher spoke count actually allows the the Aero 30 wheel to decrease overall weight, as lighter stainless steel spokes and Niobium rim can be used. Niobium (Nb) is a element of the periodic table, not a brand or a marketing tool. The complex task of integrating Niobium with Aluminum has been pioneered for space propulsion systems and has now evolved into a road racing rim material. This new 'super alloy' features almost double the tensile strength and a finer grain structure than traditional aluminum. This technology has then been adapted to our aerodynamic 30mm deep rim.

The Aero 30 hub is manufactured from lightweight CNC, 7000 series, anodised alloy. Designed with 6 pores for longevity with 12 engagement points located on the hub shell, not the freewheel body, for super efficient power transfer and almost instantaneous engagement. All this runs on high quality sealed Japanese bearings for longevity.

WHEELSET WEIGHT

Wheelset         1650g - ACTUAL WEIGHT (comparable to 1500g claimed weight to other manufacturers!!)

Freewheel body is compatible with SRAM & some of the Reynolds wheels

Unfortunately the recent trend for many production wheels is a low spoke count of 16/20 or 18/20 mated to a over engineered spoke and rim. While these wheels aesthetically looks very appealing, aesthetics is the primary reason for their design, not performance. In fact, by adopting the 20/24 spoke count, the BPR wheel is stiffer, allowing better power transfer and cornering stability than lower spoke count wheelsets available. The BPR wheel design also minimises peripheral rotating weight to maximize acceleration performance.

From a price point, we see the Aero 30 wheels as unmatched for performance at this price. We can do this price as Bikepro handle the wheel from its overseas production to their gauged tensioning in Melbourne, Australia.
