20in Rim
The iconic Ironman Triathlon World Championships in Kona are known for their crosswinds and brutal conditions, ruling out the use of disc wheels. Every year, Kona is the venue where the fastest pro and age-group triathletes in the world converge, making it the best proving ground for innovative components. With this in mind, our engineering team has spent countless hours developing the AER180, a triathlon wheel designed for elite riders that is the pinnacle of speed, stability, and control.
Let us know in the comments if you'd like to learn more about the new AER180 or any other deep-section aero products.
Ultra-Deep Profile
With an ultra-deep profile, the AER180 leaves minimal gaps for the hub and spokes. This design approaches the benefits of a disc wheel; keeping the airflow attached to the wheel for as long as possible, reducing turbulent airflow, and decreasing drag. The 180mm depth also enhances the "sailing effect" at high speeds, catching the wind and helping to propel the rider forward with greater efficiency.
Exceptional Stability & Lightweight Handling
Unstable handling is distracting to athletes and inhibits performance. Thanks to its dedicated layup schedule and premium materials, the AER180 remains stable in strong winds and challenging conditions, helping conquer tough courses and achieve personal bests. At just 820 grams (disc brake version) and 860 grams (rim brake version), the AER180 rivals the weight of far shallower competitors, making it a versatile choice for triathletes who demand every advantage.
UST System
The AER180 rim UST-only is currently available as a rear wheel in both disc and rim brake options. With an external width of 28mm and an internal width of 21mm, it ensures seamless compatibility with 23c-38c tires.
From the winds of Kona to training rides in unpredictable conditions, the AER180 is built to win races, no matter the conditions. Redefine your limits with the AER180 now!
