About This Item

 

Full Description

AN ACTIVE SUPPLIER OF COMPOSITES SINCE 1985, DU PONT APPLIED ITS DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY TO THE SPORTING GOODS INDUSTRY. THE RESULT IS A REVOLUTIONARY NEW BICYCLE WHEEL DESIGNED FOR COMPETITION USE. THE WHEEL COMBINES VERY LOW AERODYNAMIC DRAG, GOOD CROSS-WIND STABILITY, AND HIGH STRENGTH. WIND TUNNEL TESTING PREDICTS TIME SAVINGS OF 10-15 MINUTES FOR THE CYCLING LEG OF THE HAWAII IRONMAN TRIATHLON (VERSUS STANDARD 36-SPOKE WHEELS).
