The Avalon SL5 Ninefold isn’t merely a fast wheelset; it’s a statement of absolute engineering commitment. This 1134 g apex road wheel proves that true speed requires uncompromising strength and minimal weight. We specify the ultimate components—Alpina carbon spokes and ONDA Ceramic Hubs—to eliminate friction and ensure every watt you produce translates instantly into responsive, forward motion. You will immediately feel the difference in acceleration on every climb and decisive attack.
The structural brilliance lies in our Asymmetrical Rim Technology (ART). By perfecting spoke tension, ART delivers peerless lateral stiffness, ensuring the wheel tracks razor-sharp through corners and handles flawlessly under extreme load. Further optimizing speed is the staggered 50mm front/55mm rear profile, balancing crosswind stability with maximum aero momentum. Our pioneering wide design features a 23.5mm internal width, tapering from a 31mm maximum outer width down to 30mm at the edge of the rim for a smooth transition to the tire. This precise, convex profile mates perfectly with 28-30mm tires, creating a superior, drag-reducing system that massively boosts comfort and control. Meticulously hand-built in the Netherlands—that agility means you get cutting-edge tech faster. The ‘Ninefold’ designation confirms this is the ultimate, top-tier product within the 9th Wave range. Backed by our Ultimate Lifetime Warranty, ride with the confidence of the best. For more technical insight, see our blog
