Synergy
Our philosophy is that wheels should be complimentary. For this reason, we have created a complete time trial and triathlon wheelset.
Our Velo TT Disc wheel comes as the result of our years of research and design into aero time trial wheels. It is our next-generation offering is designed to provide marginal gains, saving you precious time.
The Velo 8 is an 82mm, deep-section wheel that builds off what we have developed before. It is our solution for what a high-performance TT wheel should be.
Aerodynamics
While disc wheels are accepted as being the most aero choices, not all are made the same. The wheel comes with a new valve hole cover that makes the wheel even more streamline.
It is well known that the wheel, tire combination can have a significant impact on aerodynamics. The Velo TT Disc and Velo 8 are both designed to optimized to be used with wider road tires. To get the maximum aerodynamic benefit, we recommend they are used with 23mm or 25mm tires.
Tech
The Velo TT Disc is a next generation TT wheel that offers more than just aerodynamics. Its specially machined high-density aerospace PMI core not only serves the purpose of making the wheel light, but also exceptionally stiff. As opposed to the typical honeycomb-type core used in many disc wheels, the PMI core allows it to be stronger and more resistant to impacts. It is fatigue resistant, meaning you can continue to use it season after season without any drop in performance.
The Velo 8’s hub features 6803 ceramic bearings to reduce rolling resistance, saving you watts. The wheel also incorporates a U/V rim profile that isn’t strictly focuses on aerodynamics. Deep section wheels are more susceptible to crosswinds. Having this design will help you maintain control regardless of the conditions.
In order to provide riders with the best wheelsets, we seek to update and improve them as technology advances.

Hi.
I ve bought a pir of TT Wheels from EW.
I think teh product is good but it does not seems to be ceramic bearings. Am I wrong?
I d like to know if the original bearings (Front and rear) are hydrid ceramic or standard?
Is it possible install ceramic speed ones. Coul you send me the specs?
Tks

Hello Everson. Thank you for your questions. All bearings labeled “ceramic bearings” for use in bicycle hubs are hybrid ceramic, meaning only the ball bearings are ceramic, while the other parts, like the races, are made of steel. This includes the ones from Ceramic Speed. Full ceramic bearings are too fragile and are used for other applications.
For the correct bearing size and compatibility, please contact our customer service via live chat. They would be happy to answer any more questions you may have.
