700C 50mm Asymmetric Carbon Road Rim, 36mm Outer / 30mm Inner, Tubeless, SL/UL/EL

50mm Asymmetric Carbon Road Rim — 700C, Tubeless, 36mm x 30mm Wide

Answer: The 700C 50mm asymmetric carbon rim with a 36mm outer and 30mm inner width is engineered for modern tubeless road and gravel bikes, maximizing stability, aerodynamic performance, and tire support across varied race formats.

Technical Overview

• Rim Profile: 50mm deep, asymmetric (offset) cross-section for balanced spoke tension
• Width: 36mm outer / 30mm internal width – optimized for 28–35mm tubeless tires
• Material: T700/T800 unidirectional carbon fiber composite, high-modulus layup
• Weight Options: Standard (495g), Superlight (SL, 455g), Ultralight (UL, 415g), Extreme Light (EL, 400g) ±10–15g
• Load & Testing: Rider weight max 125kg. Forward compressive >300kg, lateral torsion >50kg, spoke hole tension >280kg. Flatness tolerance <0.15mm, roundness <0.3mm
• Compatibility: 700C/ISO 622 road and gravel bikes, tubeless-ready tires (28–35mm), Shimano/SRAM hubs

FAQs

• Q: What are the benefits of a 30mm inner wide tubeless carbon rim?
  A: Supports wider road tires for lower rolling resistance, better grip, and improved ride comfort—especially at lower pressures.
• Q: Is a 50mm carbon rim suitable for climbing and flat races?
  A: 50mm offers a balance of aerodynamic benefit for flats and moderate weight, with the EL and UL variants better for climbing scenarios.
• Q: Is the weight difference between Superlight and Ultralight significant?
  A: The ~40g reduction affects acceleration and climbing; however, lighter options reduce maximum rider weight limits and slightly increase the risk of impact damage in heavy-duty use.
• Q: Do 36mm outer width rims improve aerodynamics?
  A: The 36mm width is aerodynamically profiled to optimize airflow around wider tubeless tires while supporting stiffness without excessive weight.
• Q: What certifications or testing does this rim meet?
  A: Each rim passes forward compressive (>300kg), lateral torsion (>50kg), and spoke hole tension (>280kg) strength tests, with strict flatness (<0.15mm) and roundness (<0.3mm) tolerances for predictable, stable wheel builds.
