Developed for Aerodynamics and Lightweight

With a rim profile of 85 mm and a weight of only 646 grams, the Artech 8T front wheel delivers best-in-class aerodynamics in an exceptionally lightweight package. Combined with outstanding stability in crosswinds, it is the fastest and lightest front wheel available for Time Trials and Triathlons.

In addition to its aerodynamic performance and ultra-low weight, the Artech 8T offers high lateral stiffness without compromising durability. The 23 mm internal width with a hooked tire bed is aerodynamically optimized for 28 mm clincher and tubeless tires offering the perfect balance between aerodynamics, rolling resistance, and comfort.

Depending on specific event regulations and race conditions, the Artech 8T front wheel can be paired with either the Artech 8T rear wheel or the Artech Disc 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.

Surface Structure Aerodynamics

The Aeroscales generate velocity streaks travelling at different speed over our rim surface. This has a stabilizing effect on the airflow and reduces drag.

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 3D printed

The lightweight bone like hub structure design is a result of topology optimization. Using Scalmalloy material in combination with the latest 3D-printing technology we’ve been able to manufacture this unique, lightweight and strong hub design.

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.

Ultra-light and Aerodynamic

The lightweight Carbonlite Aerospokes provide high lateral stiffness resulting in increased efficiency when accelerating and climbing. The optimized aerodynamic shape of the spoke reduces aerodynamic drag.
