The wheel for riders looking for stiffness and lightness for all-purpose use with good inertia on the flat and excellent aerodynamics.
Side wind is no longer a problem thanks to the new aerodynamic design AIR PLUS U-Shape profile with maximum width of 28mm. This allows the use of wide tires without negatively influencing the wind flow.
We use the latest technology in fiber manufacturing, with the material of the future and the lightest material discovered so far, Graphene.
We center them by hand with ourNITRO Hub with ceramic bearings and ultra SAPIM CX aerodynamic spokes .

AIR+PLUS High speed technology
Why are aerodynamics so important for your wheels?
For example, when you're going 40km/h your wheels turns at twice the speed and side winds with strong gusts are capable of knocking you off the road.
With our new AIR PLUS aerodynamic design, Rim fully curved and with a maximum width of 28mm, side wind is no longer a problem. It also allows the use of wide tires without negatively influencing the wind flow.

PSG (Perfect Spoke geometry)
Each type of wheel has different requirements.
At Progress we design each wheel for its appropriate use.
The choice of spokes, Hub design, Rim and centering are not left to chance.
In everyPROGRESS Rim we add extra reinforcement material in the area of the spokes and we specify the seat angle of the nipples in perfect geometry with the angle of the spokes on the Hub. This allows us to work with the optimal tension and get the maximum performance out of each wheel. In addition, we avoid spokes breakage and provide a long-lasting wheel.

Road Width Recommendations
For maximum aerodynamic efficiency, we recommend that the tire width not exceed the outer width of the Rim.
The ideal ratio is 0.95. A tire that is wider than the Rim significantly Rim the aerodynamic performance of wheel assembly, virtually eliminating the Rim aerodynamic advantages.

We tested ourAERO wheel (AERO inner, 30mm ) in the wind tunnel against three different widths, using the same brand and model of tire.
- 25-mm tire = 12.6 watts
- 28mm tire 28mm 13.8 watts
- 30mm tire 30mm 15.3 watts
