The Drive Six II combines striking aerodynamics with cutting-edge engineering. Its one-piece six-spoke carbon design maximizes stiffness and efficiency, delivering sharper cornering, faster acceleration, and power transfer beyond what steel-spoked wheels can achieve. Silver decals and a distinctive marbled finish make it as visually unique as it is performance-driven.
Through advanced CAE analysis and an optimized carbon layup, the Drive Six II weighs just 1450g per pair 70g lighter than its predecessor achieving the ideal balance of stiffness and lightweight performance.
Compared to the first generation, the Drive Six II features an enlarged cross-section with a refined 1:1.2 aspect ratio, promoting more uniform force distribution and reduced stress concentration. The structural upgrade delivers a 25% increase in forward rigidity at the spoke interfaces, significantly improving power transmission efficiency. In addition, impact resistance has been enhanced by 15% at these critical areas, ensuring outstanding durability and reliability even on the most demanding terrain.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1636522597176{margin-right: -5% !important;margin-left: -5% !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1636625660188{margin-right: 5% !important;margin-left: 5% !important;background-color: #f0f2f2 !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1636524634550{margin-top: -10px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”67603″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image” title=”Six s spoke Rim type”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1756801460613{margin-right: 20px !important;margin-left: 20px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;}”]
RIM TYPE
The Drive Six II features a hookless, full-carbon rim, engineered from the ground up for modern gravel adventures. Designed for tubeless setups, it features a wider 30mm internal and 36mm external profile-optimized for 700×50c tires while maintaining full compatibility with a broad range of 700×45-89c options.
*In accordance with the recommendations and standards implemented by the ETRTO, tires fit on hookless rims should not have a pressure exceeding 73 PSI(5 bar). The Drive Six II is not compatible with tires requiring a minimum pressure higher than this value. Over-inflation could cause a blowout and cause potential injury.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1636522597176{margin-right: -5% !important;margin-left: -5% !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1636625660188{margin-right: 5% !important;margin-left: 5% !important;background-color: #f0f2f2 !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1636524634550{margin-top: -10px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”67602″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image” title=”drive six gravel hub”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1756801490143{margin-right: 20px !important;margin-left: 20px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;}”]
HUBS
At the heart of the Drive Six II is our newly developed Kinetic hub, engineered for precision, durability, and efficiency. Crafted from forged and CNC-machined 7075 aluminum, it is both lightweight and exceptionally strong. The hub employs a 50T conical star ratchet system, offering a larger engagement surface compared to traditional pawl designs. This not only ensures quicker, more consistent engagement but also extends longevity under demanding conditions.
To further enhance performance, the Kinetic hub is fitted with a reinforced spring and a new waterproof seal, minimizing the chances of slipping, skipping, or water ingress. Inside, high-grade S&S ceramic bearings reduce rolling resistance and extend lifespan, while our 5-axis CNC machining guarantees perfect bearing seat tolerances of just 0.02mm. The result is a hub that saves valuable watts, maximizes efficiency, and delivers unmatched reliability on every 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]
