Engineered Synergy: T1100 & M40X Carbon Fusion
We believe true innovation comes from understanding materials at their core. The AETHER series wheelset uses a calculated fusion of T1100 and M40X carbon fibers—not simple layering, but a performance-driven composite. This scientific ply design delivers the perfect balance of weight, stiffness, strength, and comfort. T1100 provides exceptional toughness and durability, ensuring stability across all road conditions. M40X reinforces critical areas like spoke holes and rim walls, boosting rigidity and power transfer for sharp, efficient acceleration and confident cornering. This synergy creates wheelsets that are ultralight without compromise. At 8LIEN, we’re not just building wheels—we’re engineering pure, reliable performance. |

25mm Internal Width: The Efficiency & Comfort Game-Changer
A wider rim better "supports" wider tires, allowing you to confidently run lower tire pressure. Lower tire pressure means the tire can absorb more vibrations, providing a more comfortable ride. The AETHER Series features a 25mm internal width that elevates comfort on uneven terrain, boosts efficiency during intense efforts, and enhances stability in corners and descents—creating a genuine “game-changer” riding experience. |

Engineered Engagement, Redefined The new 45T ratchet delivers an 8-degree engagement angle with enhanced durability and a larger engagement surface. Each ratchet undergoes a vacuum-coating process, where a thin anti-friction layer is applied in a controlled environment. This advanced treatment improves wear resistance, ensures smoother hub operation, and significantly boosts long-term durability. |

TPI Ceramic Bearings
AETHER Series are equipped with premium TPI ceramic bearings, delivering a noticeable boost in speed, efficiency, and ride quality. The ultra-smooth ceramic balls reduce friction for faster acceleration, while the heat-treated bearing races ensure long-lasting durability and stability under high load. The result? |

The Next-Gen Carbon Spoke
Ultra-lightweight aero carbon spokes—just 2g each—deliver exceptional tensile strength and significantly reduce lateral flex, resulting in more efficient acceleration and climbing performance. Their purpose-designed aero profile provides class-leading aerodynamic efficiency and outstanding stability in changing wind conditions. The T-shaped head design locks into the hub flange, preventing spoke twist during build, truing, and riding, ensuring more stable tension and power transfer.
