Drive Mixed Depth Wheel Bundle wheelset Rims
DRIVE RIMS
A Elitewheels, we design our Drive wheels to match the needs of professional riders. In order to deliver the best, we incorporate our own in-house UNI carbon fiber, a specific ratio of T700 and T800 carbon fiber (*Read more about UNI technology), making it not only strong, but also especially light and stiff. The U/V-shaped rim profile of the Drive DB Mixed Depth wheels was chosen to make the rims aero as well as stable in windy conditions. The 21mm inner rim width can accommodate wider tires for those looking for more grip and comfort.
Drive Mixed Depth Wheel Bundle Carbon Spokes
CARBON SPOKES
What separates Drive wheels from most others is its use of high-modulus carbon spokes. The 3.3mm wide aero bladed spokes offer a 7% increase lateral response as compared to equivalent steel spokes. The spokes are mechanically secured, giving the benefit of being able to be trued and maintained just like regular spokes. Anti-loosening technology is also incorporated into the spoke nipples. The threads built into the nipples give it a double-locking effect.
Drive Mixed Depth Wheel Bundle hub
PERFORMANCE HUB
To get the most out of carbon fiber spokes, we specifically designed the hubs with high flanges to further increase lateral stiffness and improve handling. Elitewheels manufactures its own hubs with Fanuc CNC machines, allowing for a tolerance of 0.02mm. This accuracy is important for bearing longevity and low rolling resistance.
Drive Mixed Depth Wheel Bundle Ceramic Bearings
CERAMIC BEARINGS
The Drive front hub uses two 6803 mixed ceramic bearings. The Drive rear hub uses one 6903 and three 6803 mixed ceramic bearings. These large bearings offer better rigidity. The use of mixed ceramic bearings will allow you to have a more efficient bike, saving you precious watts.

I had bought a set of mixed Drive wheels and absolutely LOVED them! 65 r. 50 frt 28mm GP 5000 Str tubeless – Got ran into a curb and scratched them all up! BIG BUMMER!😱😢🥴😩🤯 Elite came thru with their warranty! The new ones are spectacular! Cannot tell you how much these wheels are fast, hold speed, and accelerate! My bike came with carbon Aeolus Pro 3v wheels- great all around wheel, but NOTHING like Elite Drive wheels!
2 to 3+mph faster on 80 mile ride! Happy riding and stay safe>😊👍👀

Shipping was quick. These wheels really made a difference. They roll fast, are snappy and light. Really upgraded the look of my Ventum but also the ride. These just go the second power gets applied. Looking to buy another pair for my TT bike.
Elitewheels (store manager) –
Hi Alexander, thanks for sharing your experience with us! We’re glad the wheels look great on your Ventum. Hope you’ll enjoy the TT wheels just as much! Happy riding!

Best wheelset I have tried so far. My Dogma F rides so blisteringly fast with my 50Ds. They are light, fast accelerating, aero and really stable ind the wind. I cannot fault them, they are so good!
Elitewheels (store manager) –
Hello Roar. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Drive wheelset. We are happy that you are satisfied with the weight, acceleration, aerodynamics and crosswind stability. Happy riding!
Dane (verified owner) –
They ride beyond expectation. Light stiff everything you want from a wheel. Also with side wind they keep calm. The only down thing is the sound of the freehub. That is quite koud. You like that or not. You don’t have to ring your bell. Further super wheels. Also the glossy finish.
Elitewheels (store manager) –
Hello Dane. Thank you for sharing your experience with the weelsett. It is nice to see that you are satisfied with the stiffness, weight, crosswind stability, and the aesthetics. Freehub sound is definitely personal preference. If you want to know ways to dampen the noise, please contact our customer service.
Happy riding!

These are fantastic wheels, super smooth! And very fast!, I ride a lot of flats and small rolling hills, I am 2to 3 mph faster with excellent feel in cross winds. If I had to do it again —I definitely WOULD!!

Ma commande était les Drive 45,
En plus de leurs performances, rigide tout en étant confortables, les roues sont sublimes et sont un excellent choix pour les cyclistes recherchant des roues légères, aérodynamiques, stables donnant un beau look au vélo.
je recommande vivement !
