The Perfect Balance in Carbon Rims

At CarboTim, we strive for the ultimate combination of aerodynamics, weight, and strength. We believe that this balance varies for each cycling discipline and approach every design with a critical eye. While we closely follow market trends, we are not afraid to deviate if it leads to better performance and increased safety.

An excellent example is the debate surrounding hookless rims. We acknowledge the benefits and happily implement this technology in off-road disciplines, where lower tire pressure and wider tires provide optimal grip and comfort. However, for road disciplines, we remain convinced of the importance of hooked rims. They offer better tire retention and enhance safety, especially at high tire pressures.

At CarboTim, we are not swayed by trends alone but by technical expertise and experience. Safety and performance always take precedence for us!

Sapim Spokes - The Perfect Choice

For our wheels, we rely on the best Sapim spokes. The full Sapim range is available, but we prefer their top models:

• Sapim CX-Ray - An ultra-lightweight aero spoke that perfectly combines strength, stiffness, and low weight. This is our standard choice for CarboTim wheels.
• Sapim CX-Sprint - For riders with high power output, this slightly heavier but extra stiff spoke is an excellent option.

At CarboTim, we always aim for the best balance between performance, durability, and innovation. Which combination best suits your riding style?
