The Scirocco™ 2008 wheels have not only been given a new look but are also a full 96 g lighter. The aluminium rims feature a 24-mm profile extrusion. Radial spoking has been used for the front wheel and 9x3 G3™ spoking for the rear wheel. The spokes are in 2-1.5 butted stainless steel. There are special oversize spokes on the front and rear wheels in the section opposite the joint. In this way their weight balances the weight of the joint during rotation, so that a wheel with perfect dynamic balance is obtained. The hubs have oversize bodies and employ hi-precision bearings for maximum smoothness. The freewheel body and the pawl carrier are housed in a single aluminium part for maximum lightness. New quick release: lever in cold-forged aluminium with two pivots for more balanced clamping.
