You demand a wheelset that excels everywhere—from attacking mountain passes to dominating fast, flat sections. The Avalon SL3 delivers, engineered to operate in the sweet spot where Strong and Light meet versatile Speed.
Tipping the scales at a mere 1248 grams, the low weight provides instant acceleration and light, responsive steering, making them exceptionally stable and easy to control even in crosswinds. Crucially, the medium, differential rim profile (35mm front, 40mm rear) is designed to cut wind resistance while maintaining exceptional stability. This optimal balance means the SL3 is quick to handle in the mountains yet offers aerodynamic gains for high-wattage efforts on the flats.
This foundation of speed is built on our ART (Asymmetrical Rim Technology), which achieves perfect spoke tension for a wheel that is stiff and durable. Leveraging our pioneering work in wide, lightweight carbon rim geometry, the precise combination of a 23.5mm internal width and 30mm external width creates the perfect aerodynamic cradle for popular 28mm and 30mm road tires. This dimension creates a seamless, bulbous interface that drastically improves aerodynamic performance, tire support, and cornering grip, all while reducing rolling resistance. Hand-built with precision in the Netherlands using DT Swiss 240 EXP hubs, this is agile, cutting-edge technology delivered directly to you.

Ride with absolute trust. Every rim is backed by our Lifetime Warranty and Crash Replacement Program. Upgrade to the Avalon SL3 and redefine your personal records.
