Velo 82V

Engineered for TT, triathlon, and high-speed flat-road performance, the Velo 82V offers a professional-grade aero upgrade specifically for rim brake frames—delivering deep-section speed without compromise to riders on traditional bikes.

The Velo 82V delivers the speed advantage of an 82mm deep-section rim for rim brake bikes—combining lightweight Alpina Ultralite Aero steel spokes, a stable 18.5/28mm rim platform (optimized for 700×23–28C tires), and a 3K 45°twill brake track for consistent braking, superior heat dissipation, and long-term durability. Mile after mile, it’s aero performance you can rely on.

RIM

The Velo 82V features a U/V-shaped deep rim profile that significantly reduces aerodynamic drag at high speeds—making it a natural choice for TT, triathlon, and flat-road pursuits.

Its 18.5mm inner and 28mm outer width are optimized for 700×23–28C tires, delivering excellent tire support, enhanced grip, and confident cornering.

The Velo 82V’s braking surface combines 270°C high-temperature resin with a 3K 45°twill weave carbon layup, ensuring reliable stopping power and excellent heat management—even on the longest, most demanding descents.

HUB

The Velo 82V hubs feature a high-flange design for increased lateral stiffness and responsive handling. The 4-pawl, 36-tooth mechanism with a 10°engagement angle delivers swift engagement and balanced load distribution for efficient power transfer. When paired with the stiffness of carbon rims, acceleration feels immediate and direct.

Every hub is precision-machined in-house on Fanuc CNC equipment to tolerances of 0.02mm, reducing rolling resistance and extending bearing life—so you get efficiency that lasts.

SPOKES

The Velo 82V features Alpina Ultralight Aero steel spokes, crafted by the century-old Italian company Alpina Raggi. Among the lightest steel racing spokes available, they deliver the weight savings you expect—while also offering outstanding durability, longevity, and improved aerodynamics.

Steel construction ensures superior fatigue resistance and consistent tension retention, so the wheelset stays true and reliable over thousands of kilometers with minimal maintenance. With Alpina Ultralight Aero steel spokes, the Velo 82V balances lightweight performance with the rugged dependability that competitive riders demand—now purpose-built for rim brake frames.

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.

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

Yes. Please click the link and add the Thru-axles to QR Adapters to your cart with the wheelset.

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.

Is there an internal nipple option?+

No. Velo 82V doesn’t have an internal nipple option.

Which brands’ freehubs are compatible with Velo 82V wheelsets?+

Since the hubs used in Velo 82V wheels are manufactured in Elitewheels’ factory, freehubs from other brands are incompatible. The hubs used in Velo 82V wheels have passed our 20,000km test. As long as you ride in normal conditions, the possibility of the freehub getting damaged is very low. If you ride in extreme conditions, we recommend you clean the freehub every 3000km.

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.
