What’s the buzz this time?
Spoke Lacing Optimization
we’ve improved from the 2/3 cross-laced pattern to a vertically aligned design for better load distribution.
Wind Tunnel Tested
Boasts need scientific validation to be credible. This time, we partnered with Japan FUDO Industry Inc. and conducted comprehensive wind tunnel tests on our HYPER 3. The results show that compared to the HYPER 23, the HYPER 3 saves 2.2 watts at a speed of 48km/h.
Wider, with Less Compromise
With updated manufacturing processes, the new hook edge is 47% shorter than the previous generation. Widening the inner rim width to 23mm, the new design can better accommodate 30mm or wider tyres to form a better seal for optimising tubeless performance.
Overall Performance Improved
Many people care about weight reduction. While maintaining stiffness, we have reduced the weight of the 33/45 series by 35g and the 67 series by 16g—these are conservative estimates. At the same time, we’ve also improved stiffness across the board.
Wider & More Aero
Using our latest generation of wider carbon spokes, the Hyper 3 combs through the airflow more effectively to reduce wind resistance.
Lighter & Stronger Titanium Ratchet
Titanium is commonly used in aerospace and is touted for its high strength, lightweight and abraision resistance being well suited for the hub’s “lifetime” use.
What have we kept from BEFORE?
Same Rim Profiles
Just like the HYPER 23 series, we offer 33, 45, and 67 rim profile versions, covering most riding scenarios.
F-RAPID Design
The Front and Rear Aero Profiles are Individually Designed to meet their unique demands. The front wheel is optimized for its leading edge performance giving speed and stability in a variety of conditions with a more rounded rim profile. The rear wheel profile is taller and is optimized for lower yaw angles with an emphasis on trailing edge performance.
Tested by Pros, Approved by the UCI
Pro cyclists are the ultimate test for bike equipment. They only want the best performance, and they demand reliability. All our new products are tested extensively in both lab conditions and out in the real world.
