Black Inc FIVE Wheelset

The Black Inc FIVE handcrafted solid spoke carbon wheelset represents the epitome of Black Inc’s engineering and design capabilities. Featuring a specially designed one-piece rim and spoke blade construction, the FIVEs are a lightweight wheelset that also offers aerodynamic advantages that typically only deep profiled heavier wheels can approximate.

The FIVE is a lightweight tubeless ready clincher wheelset that offers exceptional aero performance thanks largely to the NACA airfoil-optimized spokes, rims, and hubs. The one-piece wheel structure has been developed using CFD software for enhanced performance compared to a traditional mid-depth steel spoked wheelset. The aero performance considering the modest 30mm rim profile is testament to the effectiveness of the design. The Kamm tail shape of the spokes offer an aero advantage that neither round nor bladed steel spokes could ever provide. While the rim’s minimal cross section prevents any unsteady deflection resulting from crosswinds.
