The Aero Pro rim may look like a lightweight rim but don’t let it’s aerodynamic styling fool you. Like it’s big brother, the NASA rim, it’s design has been engineered with strength as the key feature. The Aero Pro rim has extra thick tapered sidewalls, angled spoke seats designed to accommodate proven cross-over lacing and a curved inner strut. It also has two intra cavity supports further increasing the radial stiffness and axial strength. The Aero Pro rim is constructed from space age 6066-T6 aluminium which is much stronger than the cheaper 6061 alloy traditionally used in most rims ( 34% tensile strength vs 6061-T6).
