Drive 50D II
The Drive 50D II is the result of several years of targeted development, where engineers have improved the rim's strength, precision, and responsiveness without adding unnecessary material. This means the wheelset remains ultralight, while both the internal and external rim widths have been increased to provide optimal support for modern, wider tires.
This wheelset is designed as the ultimate all-rounder for road racing – a perfect balance between low weight and aerodynamic efficiency. With a total weight of just 1300 grams, and an advanced U/V-shaped rim profile that provides better crosswind stability and smoother airflow at high speeds, the Drive 50D II is made for riders who want maximum performance regardless of the terrain.
