New Aluminum Wheelset alu27 Released　Learn more

In this video, I'd like to introduce our latest model, the black rim aluminum wheelset. This is the alu27 model, newly released this month. So, what makes this model special? We'll compare it to an aluminum wheelset from another manufacturer, which should make it easier to understand. Let's take a look.

The aluminum wheelset alu27 has a high level of finish.

First, let's look at the rim's surface finish. Pay close attention to the joint, which is opposite the wheel's valve. With the alu27 aluminum wheelset, the joint is so seamlessly finished that it's practically invisible. Compared to other manufacturers' aluminum wheelsets, the alu27's finish is clearly superior. The texture is also different; this latest model has a pleasant tactile feel, exuding a sense of luxury.

Aluminum Wheelset alu27 Tire Compatibility

The second point is the tire type. Regular aluminum wheelsets typically only support clinchers, don't they? A distinctive feature of this 27 model is that it is compatible with both clincher and tubeless tires. Since the tires are optimized for the wheels, they offer excellent ride comfort and puncture resistance.

Aluminum Wheelset alu27 Hub

Our aluminum wheel hubs also employ a standard freehub body. Instead of a 3-pawl freehub, we use a 6-pawl design, which enhances durability and extends longevity. Originally, aluminum wheels have superior rigidity and durability compared to carbon, making them attractive and easy for beginners to handle. This is the third feature.

Aluminum Wheelset alu27 Bearing System

While this wheel uses NBK's bearing system, our 27 aluminum wheel uses TPI's bearing system. The rotation is extremely smooth and continues to spin freely.

Aluminum Wheelset alu27 Spokes

Our aluminum wheel spokes use the well-known Pillar 1423 specification, while other manufacturers use ordinary, slightly thicker spokes, which would definitely add more weight.

Aluminum Wheelset alu27 Weight

It's aluminum, so you're probably curious about the weight, right? Let's measure it and see.

First, the weight of another company's rear aluminum wheel is F: 910g, R: 1025.85g, total front and rear set: 1935.85g.

The weight of our rear aluminum wheel is F: 738.95g, R: 921.55g, total front and rear set: 1660.5g.

The weight difference is significant; the 27 aluminum rear wheel alone is 200 grams lighter.

The price of this wheelset is also very affordable, with the front and rear set totaling just 21,435 yen, offering excellent value for money.
