The “M5 Two Spoke” has the LOWEST air resistance of ALL existing wheels compared to 12 or 16 steel bladed spokes or 3, 4, 5, or 6 carbon bladed wheels and even DISC wheels! This means the “M5 Two Spoke” is currently the fastest wheel in the world.

Quote:

The benefits of this wheel in a one hour time trial compared to a standard carbon 3-spoke wheel can be as much as 2.5 minutes (!) when averaging 51 km/h.

Tested at AeroPro

But no aero data other than this 90 degree crosswind data and some CFD images


Rim width: 23.7 mm rim section. UCI approved.

Quote:

For the 3D design of the 2-SPOKE wheel Bram worked together with Bob Vroegh from the company “Vroegh Design”
