Refined version of the Altair 3-Spoke for increased performance in the Altias Fusion fork and frameset.

Enhanced Performance

Developed specifically for mass start and sprint athletes in mind, where acceleration is critical to energy conservation and performance. The Altias 3-Spoke is engineered to achieve the best possible stiffness to weight ratio further superseding the Velobike Innovation Altias 3-Spoke. Manufactured from a high modulus carbon fibre and a 'tool finish' surface (no lacquers or clearcoats) the wheel is among the stiffest track wheels available (even stiffer than some disc wheels), yet weighing less than any comparable performance focused 3, 4, and 5 spoked wheel.

Aerodynamics

Aerodynamically designed around 23c tyres (up to 25mm width), the rim profile blends the tyre into a airfoil shape - increasing the airfoil chord length.

When analysing various 3, 4 and 5 spoke track wheels on the market we identified that fewer spokes tend to be quicker due to the air being cut through less frequently. The compromises is that, of the wheels tested, the ones with fewer spokes were generally less stiff. The challenge for us was to achieve the best possible balance between aero, weight and stiffness.
