FEATURES

NEW GROOVED GRAPHENE  BRAKING SURFACE

We are extremely pleased and excited to feature our new Grooved Graphene Braking Surface. Our new resin system and construction method, combined with the 3k rim track, withstands over 280°C, dissipates heat, and lowers rim temperatures faster in between braking efforts. Gain confidence-inspiring brake performance on the steepest descents and wettest conditions with our matching brake pads. Also, graphene added to the rim brake track allows for greater resistance to overheating with improved heat dissipation and reduced temperature accumulation during heavy braking. The grooved track helps evacuate trapped moisture between pad and rim in wet conditions, and brings more resistance and force at the lever when conditions are dry.

OUR AMAZING HIGH PERFORMANCE WHEEL SET FOR HEAVIER OR ROUGH RIDERS THAT DEMAND PERFORMANCE. BASED ON OUR ICONIC D'HUEZ WHEELS, WE INCREASED THE SPOKE COUNT TO 32 SPOKES PER WHEEL MAKING IT STRONG AND RESPONSIVE.

WE HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF DERONDE 32 WITH RED HUBS. ORDER TODAY AS ONCE THEY ARE GONE, THEY ARE GONE! 

Taking our national championship winning D'HUEZ rims, and adding additional spokes allows us to make a performance oriented wheel for the heavier rider, or rim brake gravel rider.  The DERONDE wheel  can be used in several situations, such as rough roads, loaded touring and cyclocross. The tubeless compliant wheels can support a wide range of tires, from 23mm road tires to 45mm gravel tires..

OVERVIEW

The D'HUEZ and VOLANTS big brother, the DERONDE 32 is for aggressive riders and those who prefer a stiff yet compliant ride from their wheels. The DERONDE is a performance wheel for pounding out training miles, slamming industrial park criterium corners or finessing bumpy cyclocross courses. This is also an idea wheel for heavier road bike riders and for touring.

Even though we have bumped up the spoke count to 32 spokes per wheel, which provides increased stiffness and durability, the wheels are light and responsive.

The DERONDE 32 wheelset shares its sibling's wide rim, improving tire performance for secure handling and all-day comfort. We hand-build the DERONDE in the U.S. with ROL or White Industries Hubs and lightweight but strong, stainless steel spokes. These wheels will be laced 3 cross both front and rear for extra strength and stiffness.

The VOLANT wheelset is regarded as one of the best wheels in its class. From its wide-stance 23mm rim to its 3-D forged ROL hubset and DT SWISS Competition spokes, there isn't a set of road bike wheelset packing this much technology and ride quality for $600.

OVERVIEW

The Volant is a modern classic: hardworking, lively and reliable. It's a wheelset perfect for putting in long training rides on questionable roads and still quick enough for a spirited group lunch ride or a weekend race. The Volant was our first wheel model and this year we upgraded it with a wider rim for better handling, stainless steel competition spokes and our own carefully designed hubs.

The Volant is a popular upgrade wheel — at well under 1,700 grams, it's likely significantly svelter than the wheelset that came on your bike, while offering reliable U.S. wheel building and a wide profile rim for better handling.

The Volant features our smart new hubs, designed in-house to minimize spoke tension differential on the rear wheel. That means you get a more evenly tensioned wheel for reliability. Combine that with the industry's most respected lightweight spokes and you'll be spinning trouble free for a long time.

Recommended rider weight limit is 95kg\210lbs.
