Description
Helikon XW Tubeless Ready Clinchers are ultra-lightweight, high-performance mid-depth wheelsets engineered to meet the demands of modern racing and fast training. Available in 45mm and 60mm depths for both front and rear, the minimalist raw carbon rims deliver exceptional aerodynamic efficiency while maintaining predictable handling for confident cornering and superior control in challenging conditions.
Featuring a wide 25mm internal rim width (hook-to-hook) and a 34mm maximum external width, the Helikon XW maximises tyre volume to enhance comfort, grip, and stability. Optimised for tyre sizes from 28mm to 32mm, riders can fine-tune performance based on their specific racing or riding style.
At the heart of the wheelset are lightweight Evolve C200 Centrelock hubs, rolling on low-drag sealed bearings for efficiency and durability. The proven 36-tooth Ratchet freehub system ensures rapid engagement and dependable power transfer when it matters most.
The wheels are laced with the latest carbon fibre bladed spokes, delivering exceptional stiffness and significant weight savings over traditional steel spokes. The result is explosive acceleration, precise responsiveness, and a high level of aerodynamic performance.
Versatile, fast, and uncompromising, the Helikon XW is the ideal wheelset for all road disciplines — built to perform for athletes at every level.
Important Service Information:
Helikon XW45 & XW60 models use carbon fibre / alloy bonded spokes and can only be trued via access through the rim bed spoke holes using an internal tool, not external nipples.
