Vittoria: ELUSION CARBON DISCElusion Carbon version optimized for disc brakeLightweight full-carbon wheelsetHigh performance wheelset also for gravel and cyclocross use BENEFITS OF GRAPHENE 2.0 IN CARBON WHEEL APPLICATIONSThe addition of this nano-technology material results in a faster,stronger, more resilient carbon-composite material. Similarly to tires,when applied to wheels, Graphene filled the holes in between thecarbon molecules bonding with them. As a consequence, resultsdisplayed that carbon wheels increased lateral stiffness, improvedresistance, became lighter and boosted heat dissipation. Moreover,one of the key findings was that Graphene-enhanced carbon wheelsfor tubeless tires are now able to be used at higher air pressures andexperience enhanced braking in all conditions.All Qurano and Race tubular wheels have graphene-enhanced fullcarbonrims that far out-perform today’s best. This is the future ofcarbon wheels. GRAPHENE 2.0-enhanced composites have up to50% improved material properties. Tests carried out by Vittoria R&Dengineers, confirmed by external laboratories, found that introducinggraphene into the rim’s carbon-fiber matrix has a great positiveimpact:GRAPHENE 2.0 reduces temperature build-upGRAPHENE 2.0 increases material strength by up to 20%GRAPHENE 2.0 improves lateral stiffnessGRAPHENE 2.0 enables further weight reductions for future products by up to 150 grams/per wheelsetASYMMETRIC DESIGNBy balancing spoke angles on both left and right sides of awheel, an asymmetric rim offers a laterally stiffer wheel. Thisis crucial on disc brake wheels, where the brake disc mountdisplaces the hub flange to the hub center. The 2.5 mm offsetfrom center on asymmetric rims minimizes differences inspoke tension and equalizes spoke-lacing angles, makingfor a stiffer, more stable wheel.VITTORIA SWITCHIT® TECHNOLOGYRoad HubAll road wheels are built on a hub designed and developedby Vittoria. Produced to meet the highest possible standardsof quality, Vittoria’s SwitchIt® hub features industry-provenparts for supreme performance, time and time again. Thespokes, whether round-section or bladed, are straight-pulland specially produced for Vittoria. Straight-pull spokeshave been specifically chosen over J-bend spokes as theyoffer superior strength and are thus less prone to failure.Rear wheel hubs feature an oversized drive-side flange, withspokes laced in a 2:1 ratio. This creates the perfect balancein spoke tension on each side of the wheel, which makes foran ultra-responsive ride.Freewheel systemMost of Vittoria’s road wheel options feature the SwitchIT®freewheel system. Cassettes mount on a freewheel bodythat can be removed quickly and replaced without the useof tools. This allows for simple gear ratio adjustments tosuit the conditions. Vittoria’s SwitchIT® technology worksseamlessly with Shimano, Campagnolo or SRAM cassettes.
