Developed for Aerodynamics and Lightweight
The most aerodynamic Disc wheels combined with a weight of only 890 grams. The Artech Disc wheel delivers best-in-class aerodynamics in an exceptionally lightweight package. Combined with outstanding stability in crosswinds, it is the fastest and lightest Disc rear wheel available for Time Trials and Triathlons.
In addition to its aerodynamic performance and ultra-low weight, the Artech Disc offers high lateral stiffness without compromising durability. The 23 mm internal width with a hooked tire bed is aerodynamically optimized for 28 mm clincher and tubeless tires offering the perfect balance between aerodynamics, rolling resistance, and comfort.
The Artech Disc rear wheel can be paired with the Artech 8T front wheel for optimal performance.
Exceptional engineering by creative minds
We think differently, more creative and from new perspectives. We pioneer new technologies and bring a new way of thinking into the cycling industry.
The Artech breaks industry norms with unparalleled performance to offer the best wheelsets on the market, anytime.
The choice of UCI World Tour teams and 3 x Ironman Champion
The Artech Triathlon and Time Trial wheels provide best-in-class aerodynamics in an exceptionally lightweight package. Thanks to its unique performance features, the Artech wheels have become the choice of Ironman Champions and UCI World Tour teams.
- Team INEOS Grenadiers – UCI World Tour
- Team Lidl Trek – UCI World Tour
- Team Alpecin Premier Tech – UCI World Tour
- Team Picnic PostNL – UCI World Tour
- Patrick Lange – 3 x Ironman Champion
All listed teams have independently tested Artech wheels using their own internal protocols, including extensive wind tunnel analyses and real-world field testing. In every case, Artech wheels consistently outperformed all alternatives across every key metric.
Specifications
- Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics: The shape of our rims is defined by our Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics (AEA) technology. This algorithm optimizes the most aerodynamic rim-profile guaranteeing optimal aerodynamic performance.
- Surface Structure Aerodynamics: The Aeroscales generate velocity streaks travelling at different speed over our rim surface. This has a stabilizing effect on the airflow and reduces drag.
- Lightweight design: With our Local Reinforcement carbon technology, we’ve increased the number of carbon layers around the spoke holes on the inside of the rim. This way we significantly reduce weight while preserving strength and stiffness.
- Perfect tire-fit: The unique geometry of our Scope Tubeless System ensures easy mounting, direct inflation, long-lasting pressure and compatibility with all clincher and tubeless tires.
- 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.
