Developed for Aerodynamics and Lightweight
With a rim profile of 65 mm and a set weight of only 1244 grams, the Artech 6 combines best in class aerodynamics at a weight level you normally only see for shallow climbing wheels.
Artech 6 makes it possible to ride a climbing stage at the Tour de France on an aero wheelset without a weight penalty.
Besides best in class aerodynamics and an extreme low weight, the Artech 6 provides high lateral stiffness and doesn't compromise in durability. The 23 mm internal width hooked tyre bed is aerodynamically optimised for 28mm clincher- and tubeless tyres, for a perfect balance between rolling resistance and comfort.
FEATURES
- Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics: The shape of the rims is defined by the Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics (AEA) technology. This algorithm optimises the most aerodynamic rim-profile guaranteeing optimal aerodynamic performance.
- Surface Structure Aerodynamics: The Aeroscales generate velocity streaks travelling at different speeds over the rim surface. This has a stabilising effect on the airflow and reduces drag.
- Lightweight design: With the Local Reinforcement carbon technology, the number of carbon layers around the spoke holes on the inside of the rim has been increased. This way, weight is significantly reduced while preserving strength and stiffness.
- Perfect tyre-fit: The unique geometry of the Scope Tubeless System ensures easy mounting, direct inflation, long-lasting pressure and compatibility with all clincher and tubeless tyres.
- Lightweight 3D printed: The lightweight bone like hub structure design is a result of topology optimisation. Using Scalmalloy material in combination with the latest 3D-printing technology, the manufacturer has been able to manufacture this unique, lightweight and strong hub design.
- Lightweight and durable: The Diamond Ratchet SL system is made from titanium and finished with a diamond like carbon coating. This results in direct engagement, improved durability, and a significant reduction in weight.
- Ultra-light and Aerodynamic: The lightweight Carbonlite Aerospokes provide high lateral stiffness resulting in increased efficiency when accelerating and climbing. The optimised aerodynamic shape of the spoke reduces aerodynamic drag.
