Our lightest, fastest wheelset ever
Fast is more than a feeling, it’s a science. The all-new Aeolus RSL X mixed-depth carbon fibre bike wheels redefine what speed looks like when every detail matters. A deeper front rim leads the way by cutting through the air with a rim shape giving greater stability in crosswinds, while a shallower rear rim delivers lighter weight. The result is our fastest, lightest, and most composed road wheelset to date.

Aeolus RSL X wheels are aerodynamically optimized to deliver peak performance at 28mm.
Bladed carbon spokes reduce drag and drop 96 grams per wheelset compared to traditional steel bladed spokes – giving you a lighter, more aerodynamic system built to accelerate faster and hold speed longer.
Carbon construction is engineered to absorb road vibration, delivering a smoother, more controlled ride that reduces fatigue and keeps you fresher.
A reinforced rear wheel profile increases stiffness where it matters most, providing more direct power transfer and a sharper, more responsive ride under load.
With a reduced spoke count — 18 front and 24 rear — Aeolus X cuts weight without compromising strength. The streamlined build improves ride feel and responsiveness while maintaining the reliability riders expect on race day and beyond.
Lightweight Ratchet EXP freehubs, built on proven DT Swiss 240 architecture, deliver crisp, reliable engagement and smooth, fast rolling efficiency.
