Technical characteristics
The Speed Team 42 and 57 build on the foundations of previous Speed models, while incorporating a notable improvement: a lightweight aluminum freehub body equipped with USB™ (Ultra Smooth Bearings) ceramic bearings. This innovation reduces friction and optimizes rolling fluidity.


Among other specificities:
- Carbon Rim: With a 23mm internal channel, suitable for 28 and 30mm tires, it improves aerodynamics (+10%) and handling (+16%) compared to 19mm channel versions.
- 2-Way Fit™ Technology: An undrilled channel increases rim stiffness and strength, while simplifying the use of tubeless tires without rim tape.
- C-LUX™ Finish: Matte on the outside and glossy on the inside, it ensures optimal compatibility with tires.
- Two-to-One™ Spoke Design: Aerodynamic flat spokes are double-pronged in critical areas for improved stiffness and increased power transfer.
- USB™ Bearings: Ceramic cone/cup system ensures precise alignment and maximum smoothness.
Each wheel is assembled by hand in Europe, according to high quality standards, after more than 4 hours of research and tests.
