Carbon Bicycle Wheelsets
Performance and Elite Series Disc Brake Wheel Sets
Uccello Disc Brake Wheel Sets fall in to two model series. We have the Performance series designed to meet the needs of most recreational cyclists; and the Elite Series, designed to meet the needs of the competitive cyclist.
The Performance Series and Elite Series share identical rim profiles.
Performance Series wheels incorporate the Uccello Performance Hub Set and Pillar Aero Wing 21 stainless steel spokes. This combination provides optimal performance with a minor weight increase and a major cost saving.
Elite Series wheels feature the Extralite Hub Set and forged Titanium Spokes. The Elite Series wheels are focused on ultimate performance.
Rim Brake wheel sets are only available in the Elite Series.

Aero Wing 21 Spoke
The Aero Wing 21 Spoke was designed to outperform the current crop of high-end spokes that are found on today’s finest racing wheels. The Aero wing 21, is more than just another lightweight, bladed spoke. With an elliptical cross section, it offers the highest level of aerodynamic performance of any spoke on the market today. Under close inspection, most of todays so called Bladed Spokes are actually square or rectangular in cross section; and therefore aerodynamically inferior.

Extralite CyberFront SP and CyberRear SP-T2 Hub Set
Spokes
Pillar’s X-TRA Lite Ti spoke series challenges their rivals with a spoke that is nearly 50% lighter than a standard lightweight butted spoke, and at about a gram lighter per spoke than even the lightest stainless steel alternative. At a mere 2.6 grams each, these titanium spokes allow substantial weight savings on a complete wheel set. The X-TRA Lite Ti is manufactured from 13 gauge wire, rather than the thinner 14 or 15 gauge common in non-titanium spokes. This thicker gauge improves the overall strength, stiffness, and fatigue life to significantly enhance the performance of these titanium spokes to a level far beyond what has been previously accepted from this exotic material. A thin, 0.9 x 2.0mm bladed profile, enhances the wheel’s aerodynamic performance. The 2.3mm, 13 Gauge rolled thread requires the use of 13 Gauge nipples. This large and stronger size is more commonly reserved for heavy e-bikes.
The inherent vibration characteristics of Titanium impart an exceptionally good ride feel to the wheel set.
