CarbonOne Æra 56, Duke Strada Æra / Extralite SPD 3+ | 1114 g

An ultra-light premium road wheelset designed for maximum speed, low weight and modern aerodynamics. This project was created for riders looking for a truly fast aero wheelset, without the heavy and sluggish feeling often associated with deep-section wheels.

Technical specification

Project details

This wheelset is built around one of the most innovative road rims currently available from Duke. The Strada Æra 56 features the distinctive Æra CFD profile, developed to reduce aerodynamic drag while maintaining stability in crosswinds.

The 24 mm internal width perfectly follows the latest trend in modern road wheels optimized for 28 mm tyres. This allows the wheelset to combine aerodynamics, comfort, lower tyre pressures and more confident handling.

Extralite SPD 3+ hubs help achieve an exceptionally low total weight, while Sapim CX-Ray spokes add aerodynamic performance without compromising durability and long-term reliability.

• Duke Strada Æra 56 rims with a 56 mm aero profile
• 24 mm internal width optimized for modern 28 mm tyres
• Æra CFD profile for improved aerodynamics and crosswind stability
• ultra-light Extralite SPD 3+ hubs
• aerodynamic Sapim CX-Ray spokes in a 24 / 24 configuration
• precise hand-built assembly in the CarbonOne workshop
