Notable Tech, Materials & Construction

Duke Baccara X 42 SLR2 Carbon Rim

The Carbon-Ti X-Wheel Baccara X 42 SLR2 Road Wheelset uses Duke Baccara X 42 SLR2 carbon rims, giving riders a shallow-to-mid-depth 42mm profile that feels fast on rolling roads while staying manageable in crosswinds.

42mm Aero Road Profile

The 42mm rim depth is deep enough to provide meaningful aerodynamic benefit, but not so deep that it becomes difficult to control on windy bayside roads or fast descents. This makes it a versatile depth for South East Queensland road riding.

23mm Internal Rim Width

The 23mm internal width supports modern wider road tyres much better than older narrow rims. It helps improve tyre shape, cornering grip, comfort and lower-pressure performance with 28mm, 30mm and 32mm tyres.

29.4mm External Width

The wide external rim shape is designed to work well with modern performance road tyres, especially around 28mm. A better tyre-to-rim transition can improve stability, airflow and ride feel.

Asymmetric Rim Design

The 2mm asymmetric offset helps improve spoke tension balance between drive and non-drive sides. Better tension balance can improve wheel strength, stiffness and long-term durability.

Carbon-Ti X-Hub SP Straight-Pull Hubs

Carbon-Ti X-Hub SP straight-pull hubs are built for low weight, precise bearing preload and efficient power transfer. The straight-pull design helps reduce spoke stress and gives the wheelset a premium, modern build quality.

Titanium Toothed Ring and 56 Points of Engagement

The rear hub uses a titanium toothed ring and 4 three-point pawls with simultaneous action. This gives a positive, responsive engagement feel when accelerating, climbing or jumping out of corners.

SKF Bearings

SKF sealed bearings provide smooth rolling and dependable performance. This is valuable for Australian riders dealing with heat, humidity, wet-weather training and high weekly kilometres.

Sapim CX-Ray Spokes

Sapim CX-Ray spokes are widely respected for their aerodynamic profile, low weight and excellent fatigue strength. They are also practical from a service point of view because quality wheel builders commonly stock and understand them.

Premium Boutique Wheel Build

This wheelset combines Duke carbon rims, Carbon-Ti hubs and high-quality spoke hardware into a lightweight performance wheelset aimed at riders who want something more specialised than a mass-market carbon wheel.
