Marvel Disc
Marvel 38D RIM
RIMS
At Elitewheels, we design our Marvel wheels to match the needs of recreational cyclists. As opposed to alloy rims found on most road bikes, Marvel wheels are stronger, stiffer, much more more aerodynamic and significantly lighter. In fact, wheels play the biggest role in aerodynamics on a bicycle. As opposed to reducing weight elsewhere, a lighter rim saves rotational weight, making for a more agile feel and faster accelerations.
Marvel 38D Spoke
SPOKES
Choosing the right spoke to build a wheel is essential. We specifically selected Pillar PA 1423 aero bladed spokes. They are cold forged making them strong, allowing them to be able to withstand over 300kgf of tension.
Marvel 38D Hub
PERFORMANCE HUB
To get the most out of this carbon wheelset, we specifically designed the hub with high flanges to further increase lateral stiffness and improve handling. Elitewheels manufactures its own high precision hubs with Fanuc CNC machines, which can machine to tolerances of just 0.02mm. This not only allows for lower rolling resistance but also increases bearing longevity.
Marvel 38D Ceramic bearings
CERAMIC BEARINGS
The Marvel 38D’s front hub uses two 6803 mixed ceramic bearings. The rear hub uses one 6903 and three 6803 mixed ceramic bearings. These large bearings offer better durability over standard size ones. The use of large mixed ceramic bearings will allow you to have a more efficient bike, saving you precious watts.
Marvel 38D TUBELESS IN MIND
TUBELESS IN MIND
All of our wheels are tubeless ready with tubeless rim tape pre-installed. Each rim features our unique tubeless R-angle design, allowing for easier mounting. To make mounting tubeless tires even easier, rims are designed with bead seat retention ridges making inflation possible with just a floor pump.

Brandy Chow –
I bought these during sale last year around the year end of ’23. Now being Rocktober 2024, these wheels are beyond description, nearly.
Los Angeles , a lot of where I ride is GRAVEL, torn-up asphalt , construction, street closure all add up= Terribile streets before, dring & after the ’28 Summer Olympic games right here, a few miles from me….These wheels HANDLE all the torn-up ness here & still look gorgeous. I have a huge 48cm. frame, & the 38mm rim depth looks in proportion to the frame size. I’m not racing nor be the fastest . The staff are wonderful to work with thru chat & email.
Very Happy, Brandy in LA 2028

We are glad that you like how they look and that they go well with your frame. It doesn’t really matter how fast you go as long as you enjoy it. Thanks for the pictures as well.
