aerodynamics at a race
ready weight
By adopting the proven rim profiles of the Artech 8.T front wheel, without the Aeroscales, the Race 8.T front wheel delivers benchmark tested aerodynamic performance at an exceptional weight of just 799 grams. It stands as the ultimate aero upgrade for your bike. Combined with outstanding crosswind stability, it is engineered to be the fastest and lightest disc rear wheel for time trials and triathlons.
Beyond its aerodynamic advantage and ultra low weight, the Race 8.T front wheel offers high lateral stiffness without compromising durability. The 23 mm internal width, featuring a hooked tire bed, is optimized for 28 mm clincher and tubeless tires, delivering the perfect balance of aerodynamics, rolling resistance, and comfort.
The Race 8.T front wheel can be paired with the Race Disc wheel for optimal performance.
