A bit about the technology used to make the rims.

We use a Smooth-Wall technology production method on our new Carbon 20 rims. It makes the internal surfaces as smooth and wrinkle free as the outer surface. The result is better uniformity of the carbon layers and reduced wrinkles or voids compared to normal carbon wheel production - ultimately this means greater strength, minimum risk of stress fracture and a significantly lighter, yet stronger carbon products.
