Drive 50V Rim Brake
$1,169.00
The Drive 50V is dedicated to those who want an all-rounder that is more geared towards riding in the hills and mountains. The wheelset features carbon spokes, light and stiff UNI carbon fiber as well as high precision, ceramic bearing hubs. It is also tubeless-ready. The Drive 50V is for those who want a pro-level wheelset.
To enhance braking performance, the Drive 50V upgraded the original UD brake track to a 3K 45°twill weave carbon fiber brake surface engineered for superior stopping power and long-lasting durability. As a result, the total weight has been adjusted to 1355g for the pair.
– Carbon Spoke Wheelset
– Rim Brake Wheelset
*To ensure that the wheels are compatible with your bike and to prevent any rubbing, the brake pads should be at least 2mm away from the rim’s braking surface on both sides. We recommend checking with your frame and brake caliper manufacturers for the maximum tire clearance before placing your order.
– Custom option for different rim depths
*Availability Status: Usually shipped in 7-10 days.

DRIVE RIMS
At Elitewheels, we design our Drive wheels to match the needs of professional riders. In order to deliver the best performance, we incorporate our own UNI carbon fiber, a specific ratio of T800 and T1000 carbon fiber (*Read more about UNI technology), making rims not only strong, but also exceptionally light and stiff. The U/V-shaped rim profile of the Drive 50V was chosen to make the rim both aero as well as stable in windy conditions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1636436261896{margin-right: -5% !important;margin-left: -5% !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1636625761971{margin-right: 5% !important;margin-left: 5% !important;background-color: #f0f2f2 !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”64733″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image” title=”DRIVE 50V wheelset Carbon Spokes” css=”.vc_custom_1757488238154{margin-top: -10px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1687764964185{margin-right: 20px !important;margin-left: 20px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;}”]
CARBON SPOKES
What separates the Drive 50V from most other wheels is its use of high-modulus carbon spokes. They are 3.2mm wide aero bladed spokes, offering 7% more lateral stiffness as compared to equivalent steel spokes. The carbon spokes are mechanically secured, giving the benefit of being able to be trued and maintained just like regular steel spokes. Anti-loosening technology is also incorporated into the spoke nipples. The threads built into the nipples give them a double-locking effect.

PERFORMANCE HUB
To get the most out of carbon fiber spokes, 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.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1636436261896{margin-right: -5% !important;margin-left: -5% !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1636625782773{margin-right: 5% !important;margin-left: 5% !important;background-color: #f0f2f2 !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”64734″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image” title=”DRIVE 50V wheelset Ceramic Bearings” css=”.vc_custom_1757488264748{margin-top: -10px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1670405443894{margin-right: 20px !important;margin-left: 20px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;}”]
CERAMIC BEARINGS
The 50V’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 rigidity. The use of mixed ceramic bearings will allow you to have a more efficient bike, saving you precious watts.

BRAKE SURFACE
The Drive 50V 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.
It features an advanced 3K 45° twill weave carbon fiber brake surface, engineered for superior braking performance and durability. Unlike traditional unidirectional (UD) layups, the cross-oriented fiber structure delivers balanced resistance to both lateral and longitudinal forces, ensuring consistent power and control in harsh conditions.
The 45° angled weave promotes efficient heat dissipation, effectively limiting localized overheating and maintaining stable braking efficiency at high temperatures. Additionally, the interlaced fiber pattern enhances wear resistance, reducing abrasion from brake pads while inhibiting crack propagation for longer-lasting performance.
Paired with a precisely textured friction surface, this system contributes to reliable, fade-free braking, ride after ride.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
