DT Swiss hubs on a carbon fire 50mm deep section rim might just be one of the fastest upgrades you can give to your bike. That is why for 2019 we have upgraded our wheel rims and are giving you even more bang for your buck with our new Aero range.
Our Aero range is based on our best-selling Fast and Light range. Our Fast and Light range was a great seller as it mixed affordability, lightweight, strength, and aero qualities into a fantastic set of tubeless ready wheels.
We set our engineers the task of keeping these great qualities but also see if they could improve on them, and they did. For 2019 our Aero range is constructed from a mix of Toray T700 and T800 carbon fiber instead of only using T700 like our FL range.
The new combination of fibers kept all the same qualities but also saves around 100g per wheelset. You can now have a nice wide aero wheelset that is also super light. That is not the only difference though. We looked at the brake track on the FL series, a brake track that can withstand temperatures of 240° and with our Aero range, we took that tolerance up to 300°. Braking down Alpine passes just got that little bit safer.
Now you can pick from your choice of DT Swiss hubs. You can maximize the affordability of our wheels by choosing the 350S, or you can maximize the lightness of our wheels and pick the 240S. Both hubs have the DT Swiss Star Ratchet system meaning that your drivetrain connects instantly.
To lace the hubs and our carbon fiber rim we have decided to use Sapim CX-Ray spokes. The aero CX-Ray spokes are the best meeting point between lightweight and stiffness we have found from any spoke.
You also get our two-year warranty with the Aero 50.

Features
Wide Rim Tech
25mm rim wide creates a better, more stable support, while the shape of the tire and rim together creates regular, stable air flow, in short, more aerodynamics, less attrition. provides an ideal basis for 25/28mm tires, the sizes currently popular.
2-Way Clincher Tubeless. Tubes or No-Tubes
Use either traditional tires with tubes, or tubeless tires without tubes. Tubeless tires can provide lower rolling resistance and better protection from punctures.
Sapim CX-RAY As light as a titanium spoke
The CX-Ray still receives the best results in fatigue testing of any spoke. The CX-Ray aero spoke combines excellent aerodynamics with low weight and great strength. Not only are they more aerodynamic, they also make wheels lighter and stronger. Its unique strength and flexibility make the CX-Ray suitable for most bicycle disciplines. CX-Ray spokes are used by top bike racers and triathletes around the world.
UCI Approved
This wheelset has been certified and approved by the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale), for use in UCI sanctioned road races.
