Drive Mixed Depth Rim Brake
$1,169.00
Having a mixed depth wheelset can improve the aerodynamics and handling of a bike. A shallower front wheel can make a bike easier to control as it is more resistant to crosswinds, while a deep section rear wheel can reduce aerodynamic drag. Mixed depth wheels are the favorite or many pro and experienced riders, as it can make for a more balanced ride.
Now we give riders the choice to customize their own wheelset, allowing for the front and rear wheel rim depths to be selected independently.
*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.
*Availability Status: Usually shipped in 7-10 days

DRIVE RIMS
A Elitewheels, we design our Drive wheels to match the needs of professional riders. In order to deliver the best, we incorporate our own in-house UNI carbon fiber, a specific ratio of T700 and T800 carbon fiber (*Read more about UNI technology), making it not only strong, but also especially light and stiff. The U/V-shaped rim profile of the Drive RB Mixed Depth wheels was chosen to make the rims aero as well as stable in windy conditions. The wheels are designed to accommodate up to 30c tires for those looking for more grip and comfort.[/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_1757488741471{margin-top: -10px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1710396089109{margin-right: 20px !important;margin-left: 20px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;}”]
CARBON SPOKES
What separates Drive wheels from most others is its use of high-modulus carbon spokes. The 3.2mm wide aero bladed spokes offer a 7% increase lateral response as compared to equivalent steel spokes. The spokes are mechanically secured, giving the benefit of being able to be trued and maintained just like regular spokes. Anti-loosening technology is also incorporated into the spoke nipples. The threads built into the nipples give it a double-locking effect.

PERFORMANCE HUB
To get the most out of carbon fiber spokes, we specifically designed the hubs with high flanges to further increase lateral stiffness and improve handling. Elitewheels manufactures its own hubs with Fanuc CNC machines, allowing for a tolerance of 0.02mm. This accuracy is important for bearing longevity and low rolling resistance.[/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_1757488794502{margin-top: -10px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1697620146125{margin-right: 20px !important;margin-left: 20px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;}”]
CERAMIC BEARINGS
The Drive front hub uses two 6803 mixed ceramic bearings. The Drive 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 RB Mixed Depth 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]
