Race-bred
performance derived
from the Artech

The new Race 8.T front wheel is derived from the award winning Artech 8.T front wheel, the choice of Ironman champions and several of the best UCI WorldTour teams. Built from the same engineering DNA, it delivers best in class aerodynamics, race ready weight, and lasting durability.

Best in class
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.

Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics

The shape of our rims is defined by our Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics (AEA) technology. This algorithm optimizes the most aerodynamic rim-profile guaranteeing optimal aerodynamic performance.

Lightweight design

With our Local Reinforcement carbon technology, we’ve increased the number of carbon layers around the spoke holes on the inside of the rim. This way we significantly reduce weight while preserving strength and stiffness.

Perfect tire-fit

The unique geometry of our Scope Tubeless System ensures easy mounting, direct inflation, long-lasting pressure and compatibility with all clincher and tubeless tires.

Lightweight and durable

The Diamond Ratchet SL system is made from titanium and finished with a diamond like carbon coating. This results in direct engagement, improved durability, and a significant reduction in weight.

Labyrinth system

The R-series hubs feature a mechanical labyrinth system, effectively blocking dirt from entering and increasing long-term durability

Developed with UCI World Tour teams and 3 x Ironman Champion

The Race 8.T front wheel is engineered to deliver best in class aerodynamics in an exceptionally lightweight package. Derived from the proven Artech 8.T platform, it carries the same performance DNA trusted at the highest level of the sport.

The Artech 8.T front wheel has become the choice of Ironman champions and UCI WorldTour teams, including:

  • Team INEOS Grenadiers – UCI WorldTour
  • Team Lidl Trek – UCI WorldTour
  • Team Alpecin Premier Tech – UCI WorldTour
  • Team Picnic PostNL – UCI WorldTour
  • Patrick Lange – 3 x Ironman World Champion

All listed teams have independently tested Artech wheels using their own internal protocols, including extensive wind tunnel analysis and real world field testing. In every case, Artech wheels consistently outperformed all alternatives across key performance metrics.

Building on this proven foundation, the Race 8.T front wheel translates that elite level performance into a rear disc optimized for speed, weight, and stability in time trials and triathlons.
