Drive TT Disc

The Drive TT represents a significant technological advancement over the Velo TT. It features with expanded internal width of 22mm、50T star Ratchet、reduced overall weight and enhanced aerodynamic performance. Extensive testing at the Silverstone Engineering Hub in the UK, the Drive TT achieves only 76W power requirement to maintain 45km/h.

Engineered for precision performance where every watt matters, the Drive TT delivers the decisive aerodynamic advantage for time trials and triathlon competition. This isn’t just about speed – it’s about scientifically engineered superiority.

*Instructions for the first assembly: Tubeless tires must be ridden for at least 25 km directly after the sealant is added so as to ensure they are airtight.

Please kindly note that the Scott Plasma 6 and Orbea Ordu framesets are not compatible with the Drive TT disc wheel due to their recurved chainstay designs.

For the Scott Plasma 6 and Orbea Ordu, please purchase the Velo TT disc wheels instead.

*Availability Status: Usually shipped in 7-10 days

WIDER RIMS

Compared to our previous TT wheels, the new Drive TT features a wider 22mm internal rim width without compromising aerodynamics. This upgrade allows for the use of 700×25–40c tires, improving ride comfort over long distances and rough surfaces.

MARGINAL GAINS

At Elitewheels, we believe in the power of marginal gains—small, deliberate improvements that add up to a big performance edge. That philosophy is built into every detail of the new Drive TT wheel.

For the first time, we’ve introduced the sail effect design concept, refined through extensive data analysis to enhance aerodynamic efficiency. (Sail effect: At certain yaw angles, the interaction between the wheel and wind direction can generate forward thrust, reducing aerodynamic drag and lowering rider power output.) This was validated through wind tunnel testing at Silverstone, UK, where under optimal conditions, the Drive TT required as little as 76W of power at 45 km/h -20°yaw angle.

PERFORMANCE HUB

Crafted from high-strength 7075 aluminum, both the front and rear hubs are built for durability and performance. They are equipped with premium S&S Ceramic for smooth, long-lasting operation.

The lightweight freehub features an upgraded 50T tapered ratchet system with a 7.2° engagement angle, delivering rapid responsiveness. Unlike traditional flat ratchets, the specially angled tooth surfaces enable automatic self-alignment, which increases the engagement area. This design not only enhances stability and reliability but also reduces stress on the tooth surfaces, minimizing wear and extending the hub’s overall lifespan.

Which brands’ freehubs are compatible with the Drive TT Disc?+

Since the hubs used in Drive TT wheels are manufactured in Elitewheels’ factory, freehubs from other brands are incompatible.

Can I use disc brake wheels on my QR (quick release) compatible frame?+

No. The Drive TT does not support QR(quick release)

Which cassettes require the 1.85mm spacer?+

1.85mm spacers are required for Shimano 9/10-speed cassettes fitted on Shimano HG freehubs. Spacers are also required when pairing most SRAM XD MTB cassettes with SRAM XDR freehubs.

Why don't our disc brake wheelsets come with thru-axles?+

Unlike quick releases, there are many thru-axle standards. What you need depends on your frame's make and model. There are many thread types, such as M12x1.0mm, M12x1.5mm, M12x1.75mm, etc... For example, M12 means the outer thread diameter is 12mm, and 1.0mm means the thread pitch is 1.0mm. Because of the variety of standards, we do not provide thru-axles. If you need a new thru-axle(s), please contact your frame brand for more information.

Can I change to 6-bolt?+

Yes. The Drive TT Disc uses center lock hubs by default, but if you want to use 6-bolt, contact us and we will send you an adapter at no extra cost.

Are ceramic bearings easily broken?+

As all our our hubs have high-precision manufacturing tolerances, bearing play is significantly reduced. Because of this, the likelihood of bearings being damaged is extremely low.

What does the rider weight limit include?+

The rider weight limit includes the total weight of the rider, bike, gear, and any other accessories. Please do not exceed this weight.

What tire pressures should I run?+

The best tire pressure for you depends on many factors: the rim width, type of bike and tires, rider weight, road conditions and weather conditions. Please see our user guide for more information.

How strong are your carbon rims? What happens if I break one?+

Every one of our carbon rims has been strictly tested before shipment. We are so confident in the quality of our rims that we offer a 3-year warranty on every one. We also offer a crash replacement policy. To learn more, please refer to our warranty page.

    My experience with the Elitewheels Drive TT road bike rear wheel: 1. It is very lightweight. 2. Mounting a 28mm Conti GP5000 tire is easy. 3. A small pump adapter is included as standard, though it’s a bit fiddly; a Topeak Presta valve adapter works better. Inner tube valve length: max. 50 mm. 4. No rim tape needed. 5. The freehub is very loud—you won’t need a bell anymore. Just stop pedaling for a moment, and even people with hearing impairments on the roads and bike paths will know you’re approaching. 6. The brake disc I bought fits perfectly (Shimano RT-MT900, internal spline, 140 mm). 7. After two rides on my aero road bike in strong, gusty winds, my preliminary conclusion is that its sensitivity to crosswinds is surprisingly low. You really notice you’re riding faster, especially in a headwind. The wheel motivates me, and I plan to use it for all my rides for the time being! Good value for money.

      Hi Jos,

      Thank you so much for this incredibly detailed and entertaining review of your Drive TT rear wheel!
      We love reading all your findings, from the easy tyre mounting and loud freehub sound to the great performance in crosswinds and headwinds. It’s fantastic to hear the wheel gives you more speed and motivation on every ride.

      Your valuable feedback will be shared with our engineering team. Hope you enjoy many more fast rides ahead.

    Light, fast, and good looking! (I am also a fan of the loud freehub :))
    One thing that is unclear though, is Tubeless Tape required or could I get away without it to run them tubeless? I currently run this wheel with TPUs on my Cube Aerium TT bike.

      Hi Tobi,

      Thank you for your lovely review! We’re glad you love the lightweight, speedy, stylish wheels and also enjoy the loud freehub sound.

      Regarding your question about tubeless setup: our Drive TT Disc rims support tubeless installation directly, tubeless tape is not required for running tubeless tires. You can mount tubeless tires without adding extra rim tape. Hope this clears up your confusion, enjoy your rides on your Cube Aerium TT bike!

      Happy cycling!

    Great wheel!
    It feels solid and responsive, without being overly heavy. Acceleration is smooth, and stability is great at speed. Visually, it pairs perfectly with my Madone.
    and very well balanced. Excellent value for a high-performance wheelset.

    Dys sprawuje się bardzo dobrze.
    Wykonanie bardzo dobre.
    Dysk jest głośny, ale jak dla mnie to duży plus :)

    Wysyłka bardzo szybka, paczka dotarła w całości.
    Na pewno do przodu oraz do MTB też wpadnie koło ze stajni Elitewheels :D
