The Avalon SL5 is the definition of pure speed, engineered for riders who measure success in seconds. As the powerful big brother to the SL3, this wheelset operates on a single mandate: maximum aerodynamic efficiency with a weight profile light enough to challenge the mountains.
The striking 50mm (front) / 55mm (rear) differential profile allows the SL5 to slice through the wind while maintaining an exceptional 1357-gram weight. This masterful balance transforms it into the ultimate all-round weapon, equally adept at the rolling challenges of the Classics as it is on long alpine climbs.
Speed begins with stability. Our ART (Asymmetrical Rim Technology) ensures perfect spoke tension and unrivaled stiffness, guaranteeing every watt of power is transmitted efficiently. Leveraging our pioneering work in wide, lightweight carbon rim geometry, the precise combination of a 23.5mm internal width and 30-31mm external contour 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 in the Netherlands with DT Swiss 240 EXP hubs, the SL5 is cutting-edge performance delivered with guaranteed Dutch precision. Ready to dive into the technical details behind this aero-light powerhouse? Read our Journal.
Ride with absolute trust. Every rim is backed by our Lifetime Warranty and Crash Replacement Program. Upgrade to the SL5 and chase down pure velocity.
