Lightweight carbon construction for speed and efficiency

The Drive 36D II wheelset uses a carefully engineered carbon layup to minimise weight while maintaining stiffness and durability. The 36mm rim depth strikes a balance between aerodynamic performance and climbing efficiency, making it suitable for varied terrain.

This makes it ideal for:

climbing and rolling terrain
endurance riding and long training sessions
criterium and road racing
performance-focused upgrades

For Queensland conditions with mixed elevation and open roads, a mid-depth carbon rim like the 36mm profile offers a versatile performance advantage.

Carbon spoke technology for stiffness and responsiveness

One of the standout features of this wheelset is its carbon spoke system, designed to increase lateral stiffness while reducing overall weight compared with traditional steel spokes.

This technology helps deliver:

quicker acceleration out of corners
improved power transfer under load
a more responsive ride feel
enhanced stability during high-speed riding

For cyclists upgrading their bike through Pedal Passion bike shop in Brisbane, carbon spoke wheels are increasingly popular for riders who want a noticeable performance gain over standard alloy or entry-level carbon wheels.

Aerodynamic profile for real-world speed

The 36mm rim depth is optimised for aerodynamics without compromising handling. It reduces drag at higher speeds while remaining stable in crosswinds, making it suitable for both coastal rides and inland training routes.

For riders chasing improvements in average speed and efficiency, this design helps:

maintain momentum on flat roads
improve efficiency in group rides
reduce effort at cruising speeds
deliver a balanced performance across all road conditions

Disc brake compatibility for consistent stopping power

Designed specifically for disc brake road bikes, the Drive 36D II provides reliable braking performance in all weather conditions. Disc brake systems offer improved stopping power compared with rim brakes, especially in wet or variable conditions often experienced in Queensland.

This wheelset is compatible with modern road bike builds featuring:

hydraulic or mechanical disc brakes
thru-axle systems
tubeless road tyre setups

Tubeless-ready design for modern performance

The rims are compatible with tubeless road tyres, allowing riders to run lower pressures for increased comfort, grip and puncture resistance.

Tubeless setups are widely recommended by bike shops in Australia for:

reducing punctures from road debris
improving rolling efficiency
increasing traction in wet conditions
enhancing comfort on rough surfaces

When combined with high-quality tyres like Continental GP5000 or similar, this wheelset delivers a noticeable upgrade in ride feel and performance.

Built for durability and everyday riding

Despite its lightweight design, the Drive 36D II is built for real-world use, combining performance with reliability. It is suitable for both racing and high-kilometre training, making it a strong choice for riders who want a wheelset that can handle daily riding as well as event days.

Perfect for:

road cycling and endurance riding
performance commuting
weekend group rides
race preparation and upgrades
full bike servicing and rebuilds

Ideal for custom builds and bike upgrades

The Elite Wheels Drive 36D II is a popular upgrade during:

wheelset replacements
custom road bike builds
drivetrain and component upgrades
bike servicing and performance tuning
race bike preparation

For cyclists searching best carbon wheelset Australia, road bike wheel upgrades Brisbane or disc brake carbon wheels Queensland, this model offers a balance of performance and value.
