dutchChris King Wheelset ARD44 R45D 24/24 Black Hub
THIS WHEELSET COMES WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY
Why you want it
The ARD44 is designed for serious cyclists who want to ride at top speed on flats, climbs and corners. It's an aero wheelset that shines on a wide range of terrain, from smooth asphalt to rough gravel roads. The ARD44 wheelset was built to exceed even the most stringent industry standards. It's based on King's industry-leading R45D hub and an aerodynamically profiled, 44mm-deep FusionFiber® rim. This combination provides unparalleled power transfer, speed and stability.?
King's R45D hub is the perfect centerpiece for this wheelset, with its high-quality homemade bearings, perfectly matched races and one-piece axles. The R45D's flanges are optimized for lateral stiffness and durability. The final piece is Chris King's unparalleled RingDrive™ system, which maximizes engagement throughout the pedal stroke by providing 45 points of simultaneous engagement. King's reputation throughout the industry is built on bearings that break in and don't wear out, combined with the super-efficient, high-engagement RingDrive™ core.?
The ARD44 rim provides a stable, responsive and nimble ride while reducing rider physical fatigue and stress through the superior damping properties of FusionFiber® thermoplastic technology. The result is better traction and a smooth, comfortable ride that keeps riders fresher longer and easier to ride the next day.
