DW UL Series: The New Benchmark for 1kg-Class Road Wheel Sets

2025-10-21
In the road cycling world where lightweight performance and all-round capability are paramount, we are proud to launch the DW UL Series carbon fiber wheel sets—DW30X28TL-CS-UL, DW35X28TL-CS-UL, DW40X28TL-CS-UL, DW45X28TL-CS-UL, and DW50X28TL-CS-UL. Centered on the "1kg-class lightweight" breakthrough, this series covers a full range of rim depths from 30mm to 50mm, perfectly balancing weight control, aerodynamic efficiency, and durability. Whether it’s climbing sprints, flat-road cruising, or long-distance endurance rides, it delivers precisely tailored solutions for cyclists pursuing peak performance.

1kg-Class Lightweight Breakthrough: Uncompromised All-Round Performance

Through precision structural optimization and high-quality component integration, the DW UL Series pushes the boundaries of wheel set weight, with the entire lineup ranging from 1009g to 1169g—setting a new standard for lightweight road wheels. We haven’t sacrificed core performance for lightness; instead, we’ve achieved a "light yet strong" balance through three key designs:
  • Optimized Carbon Fiber Layup Technology: Utilizing high-modulus carbon fiber and a custom resin formula, combined with strategic fiber areal weight (FAW) distribution. Reinforced layups are added to high-stress areas of the rim (such as spoke holes and rim edges), while material usage is streamlined in non-stress zones—ensuring structural strength while achieving extreme weight reduction.

  • Lightweight Core Component Integration: The entire wheel set features end-to-end weight optimization, from hubs and spokes to nipples, paired with custom lightweight components for the series. Every optimizable gram is minimized without compromising rigidity or durability.

  • Precision Weight Grading: Stepwise weight control is implemented based on different rim depth needs— the 30mm-deep DW30X28TL-CS-UL weighs just 1009±30g, making it an ideal choice for climbing-focused cyclists; the 50mm-deep DW50X28TL-CS-UL is controlled at 1169±30g, balancing aerodynamic performance and lightweight advantages for high-speed flat-road rides.

All-Scenario Aerodynamic Optimization: Adapted to Modern Road Cycling Needs

Tailored to the tire pairing trends of modern road cycling, the DW UL Series features specialized aerodynamic enhancements, achieving perfect compatibility between lightweight and aerodynamics:
  • Wide Tire Compatibility Design: The 28mm external width adheres to the aerodynamic principle of "rim width ≥ 105% of tire width," seamlessly matching 25-28C road tires. After installation, the tire and rim form a smooth aerodynamic profile, effectively reducing air turbulence and wind resistance.

  • Precision Tuning for Multiple Rim Depths:

    • 30-35mm Depth (DW30/DW35): Focus on lightweight and climbing advantages. The low-rim design reduces wind resistance, enhances agility during climbs, and meets the needs of daily training and climbing races.

    • 40-45mm Depth (DW40/DW45): Balance aerodynamics and lightweight, ideal for mixed-terrain rides and multi-day endurance races. It saves energy during flat-road cruising without becoming a burden on climbs.

    • 50mm Depth (DW50): Maximize aerodynamic performance, suitable for flat-road sprints and time trials. The optimized rim shape reduces wind resistance at high speeds, helping cyclists break speed limits.

Regardless of the rim depth chosen, the DW UL Series achieves the optimal balance between aerodynamic efficiency and lightweight across different riding scenarios, making every ride more competitive.
