Elite-Wheels Drive 50D II - Disc Brake - Carbon Wheelset

After years of research and development, our engineers have made advancements in maximizing a rim’s durability and responsiveness without adding material, allowing for the next generation of Drive wheels to remain lightweight, despite increasing inner and outer rim widths to support wider tires.

The Drive 50D II was designed to be the perfect all-round racing wheelset, balancing weight and aerodynamics. It weighs just 1300 grams for the pair. The U/V-shaped rim profile improves lateral airflow, increasing stability on fast descents and in windy conditions.

In addition to optimizing the rim design, the second generation of Drive wheels comes with several upgrades, namely ETRTO-compliant reduced hooks to offer better aerodynamics, comfort, and traction, quality S&S ceramic bearings, 4.5mm carbon spokes, and our one-of-a-kind Kinetic hub, which features a conical ratchet design.
