SL4 DB Carbon Disc Tubeless Wheels

Deda Elementi SL4 DB Carbon Disc Tubeless Wheels

The SL4DB wheels are lighter and better performing than the previous version thanks to the RS hubs upgrade. This wheelset has been designed with speed at its heart, but is versatile enough to tackle any kind of course.

The 45mm deep rim features an asymmetric design, combined with a 26 mm wide cross section that guarantees lightness and stability. The 24 spokes count provides high stiffness at a very low weight. The wider rim generation provides better support to the tyre and reduces the rolling resistance, and increases wheel strength. These wheels are tubeless ready straight out of the box, but are also suitable for clincher tyres. The RS hubs considerably improve the wheel’s smoothness and guarantee better pedal force transmission.

The special RS hubs have been completely reengineered from the previous SL generation. At only 307g for the pair, they offer an 80g saving compared to the SL version. They are also 20% smaller than the previous generation with flanges designed to reduce drag on both the front and rear hub. The hubs are also machined with a rifling design which improves aerodynamics and amplifies the downforce effect of airflow against the hub, giving more stability at higher speeds.
