They select their partners with the utmost care and combine the knowledge of successful athletes with the know-how of material, design and technology experts.

The Enhance 50:52 wheels were developed to offer you a faster riding experience on a wide range of trail profiles. Weighing just under 1500 grams, the wheels can handle high-speed races as well as fast starts and profiled courses. The different rim profiles with a height of 50 millimetres on the front wheel and 52 millimetres on the rear wheel give the aero wheelset its name. However, it is not only the profile heights that differ; the front wheel rim, with an outer width of 35 millimetres, is significantly more bulbous than the 30.7 millimetre rear wheel rim. This ensures the aerodynamically extremely efficient integration of modern racing bike tires with a width of 28 millimetres and more stable handling in crosswinds. The large inner width of 23 millimetres of the hookless tubeless rim profile ensures very good tire shape and reduced rolling resistance.
At the center of the wheels are the in-house hubs, which are CNC-milled from a solid block of aluminium. Durable industrial steel bearings are used to ensure a long service life and low friction coefficient. Sophisticated seals effectively protect the inside of the hub against the ingress of dust and water, making the Enhance wheels the perfect companion even in adverse conditions. Thanks to the high level of manufacturing precision, the frictional resistance of the seals can be reduced to a minimum. A pawl freewheel with 36 teeth ensures fast power engagement.
The high hub flanges not only ensure stiff wheels, they also provide the seat for the replaceable carbon spokes developed by Polymer Workshop. These are five times lighter than classic steel spokes and three times stronger. In addition, they offer better vibration damping and reduce air resistance with their 3.2 millimeter wide aero profile.
The high weight allowance of up to 130 kilograms (rider, bike, clothing and possibly luggage) speaks for the robustness of the wheels.
