What is it?

The 55mm Road Disc is a speed inspired disc brake specific wheelset that thrives in faster speeds and events. The big brother to the 36mm Road Disc, the 55's are a great option for those who live in flat to rolling terrain and are looking for a disc brake specific wheelset.

With a massive 22mm internal width, the 55mm pairs perfectly with the growing popularity of running 28mm and larger tires on the road. This helps with handling, comfort, and lowering the rolling resistance for those long days in the saddle.
