Developed for steep climbs and uphill racing
With a total set weight of only 965 grams, the Artech 2 is the lightest wheelset available and the ultimate choice for steep mountains and uphill racing. The low weight and high lateral stiffness make this wheelset the ideal choice to secure your position at the top of every climb.
Besides an extreme low weight, the Artech 2 provides a high lateral stiffness and doesn’t compromise on durability. The 23 mm internal width hooked tire bed is aerodynamically optimized for 28mm clincher and tubeless tires for a perfect balance between rolling resistance and comfort.
Exceptional engineering by creative minds
We think differently, more creative and from new perspectives. We pioneer new technologies and bring a new way of thinking into the cycling industry.
The Artech breaks industry norms with unparalleled performance to offer the best wheelsets on the market, anytime.
Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics
The shape of our rims is defined by our Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics (AEA) technology. This algorithm optimizes the most aerodynamic rim-profile guaranteeing optimal aerodynamic performance.
Surface Structure Aerodynamics
The Aeroscales generate velocity streaks travelling at different speed over our rim surface. This has a stabilizing effect on the airflow and reduces drag.
Lightweight design
With our Local Reinforcement carbon technology, we’ve increased the number of carbon layers around the spoke holes on the inside of the rim. This way we significantly reduce weight while preserving strength and stiffness.
Perfect tire-fit
The unique geometry of our Scope Tubeless System ensures easy mounting, direct inflation, long-lasting pressure and compatibility with all clincher and tubeless tires.
Lightweight 3D printed
The lightweight bone like hub structure design is a result of topology optimization. Using Scalmalloy material in combination with the latest 3D-printing technology we’ve been able to manufacture this unique, lightweight and strong hub design.
Lightweight and durable
The Diamond Ratchet SL system is made from titanium and finished with a diamond like carbon coating. This results in direct engagement, improved durability, and a significant reduction in weight.
Ultra-light and Aerodynamic
The lightweight Carbonlite Aerospokes provide high lateral stiffness resulting in increased efficiency when accelerating and climbing. The optimized aerodynamic shape of the spoke reduces aerodynamic drag.
