RIMS
RIMS
At Elitewheels, we design our Marvel wheels to match the needs of recreational cyclists. As opposed to alloy rims found on most road bikes, Marvel wheels are stronger, stiffer, much more more aerodynamic and significantly lighter. In fact, wheels play the biggest role in aerodynamics on a bicycle. As opposed to reducing weight elsewhere, a lighter rim saves rotational weight, making for a more agile feel and faster accelerations.
Marvel 38V Spoke
SPOKES
Choosing the right spoke to build a wheel is essential. We specifically selected Pillar PA 1423 aero bladed spokes. They are cold forged making them strong, allowing them to be able to withstand over 300kgf of tension.
Optional Upgrade: (Sapim CX-Ray spokes) and (Pillar Wing 20) spokes can be substituted for an extra cost, saving more than 90 grams off the complete wheelset.
HUB Marvel 38V
PERFORMANCE HUB
To get the most out of this carbon wheelset, we specifically designed the hub with high flanges to further increase lateral stiffness and improve handling. Elitewheels manufactures its own high precision hubs with Fanuc CNC machines, which can machine to tolerances of just 0.02mm. This not only allows for lower rolling resistance but also increases bearing longevity.
Marvel 38V Ceramic bearings
CERAMIC BEARINGS
The Marvel 38V’s front hub uses two 6803 mixed ceramic bearings. The rear hub uses one 6903 and three 6803 mixed ceramic bearings. These large bearings offer better durability over standard size ones. The use of large mixed ceramic bearings will allow you to have a more efficient bike, saving you precious watts.
Marvel 38V BRAKE SURFACE
BRAKE SURFACE
The Marvel 38V uses a blend of 270 ℃, high-temperature resin, developed by Elitewheels, and Japanese Toray T800 carbon fiber for the brake surface. This heat resistance ensures excellent braking performance even on long, steep descents. The brake track also features laser-etched grooves to clear water away, giving safe, consistent braking in wet conditions.
Rim type
TUBELESS IN MIND
All of our wheels are tubeless ready with tubeless rim tape pre-installed. Each rim features our unique tubeless R-angle design, allowing for easier mounting. To make mounting tubeless tires even easier, rims are designed with bead seat retention ridges making inflation possible with just a floor pump.

These are well made, arrived pretty fast in EU and without issue. Rolling really well and looking great, I can’t tell any difference in braking compared to my old aluminium rims. Let’s see the long-term performance.

Thank you for taking the time to review your wheelset. We are glad they arrived quickly and that the braking performance is satisfactory. Please let us know your experience in the long-term.

Great wheels, very smooth rolling and excellent comfort. I’m really surprised by the comfort of these wheels, compared to my old wheelset (aluminum rim with carbon “fairing”) they manage to filter bumps in the road much better. The only thing I still need to evaluate better is the braking. With the pads supplied with the wheels power and modulation are good, I have yet to test it on long and steeper roads.

Hello Riccardo. Thank you for sharing your experience so far. It is nice to see that you are enjoying the low rolling resistance and comfort experienced on your new wheelset. The grooved brake track should offer better performance in wet conditions as opposed to more traditional carbon brake tracks.
