DRIVE 50V Rims
DRIVE RIMS
A Elitewheels, we design our Drive wheels to match the needs of professional riders. In order to deliver the best, we incorporate our own in-house UNI carbon fiber, a specific ratio of T700 and T800 carbon fiber (*Read more about UNI technology), making it not only strong, but also especially light and stiff. The U/V-shaped rim profile of the Drive RB Mixed Depth wheels was chosen to make the rims aero as well as stable in windy conditions. The wheels are designed to accommodate up to 28c tires for those looking for more grip and comfort.
DRIVE 50V wheelset Carbon Spokes
CARBON SPOKES
What separates Drive wheels from most others is its use of high-modulus carbon spokes. The 3.2mm wide aero bladed spokes offer a 7% increase lateral response as compared to equivalent steel spokes. The spokes are mechanically secured, giving the benefit of being able to be trued and maintained just like regular spokes. Anti-loosening technology is also incorporated into the spoke nipples. The threads built into the nipples give it a double-locking effect.

PERFORMANCE HUB
To get the most out of carbon fiber spokes, we specifically designed the hubs with high flanges to further increase lateral stiffness and improve handling. Elitewheels manufactures its own hubs with Fanuc CNC machines, allowing for a tolerance of 0.02mm. This accuracy is important for bearing longevity and low rolling resistance.
DRIVE 50V wheelset Ceramic Bearings
CERAMIC BEARINGS
The Drive front hub uses two 6803 mixed ceramic bearings. The Drive rear hub uses one 6903 and three 6803 mixed ceramic bearings. These large bearings offer better rigidity. The use of mixed ceramic bearings will allow you to have a more efficient bike, saving you precious watts.

BRAKE SURFACE
The Drive RB Mixed Depth uses a blend of 270 ℃, high-temperature resin, developed by Elitewheels, and Japanese Toray T800 carbon fiber for the brake surface. This heat resistance ensures excellent braking performance even on long, steep descents. The brake track also features laser-etched grooves to clear water away, giving safe, consistent braking in wet conditions.

I have rims worth 2-3 times this on other rim brake bikes and i can say these go head to head with weight, stiffness, and performance. Elite-wheels does a great job communicating back and forth making the purchase smooth and stress free. I purchased a 40v for the front and a 50v for the back for my italian colombus steel frame.
