Ultra Toray Carbon Fiber T1000

 

For the new L serial wheels, we use Ultra Toray Carbon Fiber T1000.It takes weight saving and strength to an entirely new level. Light weight yet robust and stiff.
Reinforcement Layer-up

 

With our reinforcement carbon technology we increase the number of carbon layers only around the spoke holes on the inside of the rim. This way we significantly reduce its weight, while preserving the strength and stiffness.
Coating Free | Scratch Resistance

 

Coating free rims come out of the molds as a finished product. Traditionally, rims are wet-sanded to remove imperfections like excess resin and then sprayed with a clear coat. Coating free rims come with a factory finish and the outer carbon layer is never disturbed after the curing cycle is completed which contributes to the hardest wearing and finish we have ever produced.
Tubeless Compatible Technology

 

The unique geometry of our Tubeless System ensures easy mounting, direct inflation, long-lasting pressure and compatibility with all (tubeless) tires.
Strict Quality Control System

 

1. Vertical Stiffness Test: 50kgf PASS

 

2. Lateral Stiffness Test: 40kgf

 

3. Vertical Impact Test: PASS (All test points pass 300kgf)

 

4. Spoke Holes Ultimate Strength Test: PASS (All test blocks pass 300kgf)

 

5.Tire Installation Test: Pass (Clincher tire 150psi)
S&S Ceramic Bearing R01 Hubs

 

Durable, sealed ceramic bearings and reliable engagement mechanisms contribute to smoother rolling and better power transfer.
Ratchet System

 

The Ratchet System with 36T provide a larger surface area for engagement compared to traditional pawl systems, which translates to improved durability and more efficient power transfer. The ratchet system also simplifies maintenance and reduces the number of parts, enhancing reliability and ease of service​.
Ease of Maintenance

 

Our R01 hubs are designed with ease of maintenance in mind. The tool-free design of many models makes it straightforward to perform routine maintenance and servicing, which is a significant advantage for both amateur and professional cyclists.
Carbon Spoke Aero Design

 

The lightweight Carbon Aero spokes provide high lateral stiffness resulting in increased efficiency when accelerating and climbing. The optimized aerodynamic shape of the spoke reduces aerodynamic drag.

Impressive Carbon Wheels L5

I got the wheels yesterday. They are very nice and very light. Really love the 3k weave on the rim bed. I'm impressed. Initial reaction is the finish and quality is very nice and the weight difference is noticeable on acceleration efforts. I weighed the wheels, 1185g, right where the website says they should be. Right now they’re on my Allez Sprint. Everything felt good on my ride, the difference in weight was noticeable.

Responsive, Steady and Super Light!!!

Tested these L5 carbon wheels out on a windy day on a ride of 85 miles and 4,500ft climbing - was using tubes so psi +20/30 from my normal pressure but didn’t extra rough in any way.

Found them to be very responsive to my mashing style of riding (I like to stand up and hit hard and they were felt every bit up to it)

Steady in the crosswind and downhills - didn’t feel any rattle the entire ride e even with the gusts and a couple of steeper downhills

Didn’t stress them too much on the flats but found them to be noticeably lighter than my current wheel set and rolled nicely throughout the day.

Fantastic wheels and great service from Rebecca!

I’m very satisfied👍 Got good results with this wheelset😎

8lien L5 Wheelset offering low weight at 1180g with a rim depth of 45mm front/ 50mm rear and an impressive price😮 It’s the most responsive, most direct wheels I’ve ever accelerated. I could feel the power transfer was smooth and fast on climbs and even on flat terrains. Feels like I’d probably find it easier to ride since I used this wheelset. Speedy and smooth ride, while the light weight means it climb really easily, and stability make them fast on the downhill side too. Overall, I’m very satisfied👍 Got good results with this wheelset😎

非常に良い

初めてカーボンホイールを履いてみましたが、思っていたよりも格段に良くいい買い物をしたと思います。他のホイールと比較することはできませんが、とても満足しています。
メーカーの対応もとても好意的で、今後コスパの良いホイールを探している人がいたら勧めたいと思います。

훌륭한 바퀴, 가볍고 빠름.

굉장한 휠, 가볍고 빠릅니다. 저는 등반과 평지에서 모두 사용했습니다. 600KM를 달린 후, L5 휠셋은 특히 고속에서 그 강도와 신뢰성을 입증했습니다.
