Aero Pro Wheelset

In 1991 we introduced our first aluminum rim, the Aero.  23 years later, we've created a new version featuring all the design enhancements we've developed along the way.  Additionally, the Aero utilizes a new and stronger advanced aluminum alloy.  This rim is a nod to the history of our company, and we've chosen to name our first new rim using this alloy after the rim that started it all.

6069 alloy offers improved resistance to denting and fatigue damage.  Riders who are tough on wheels will enjoy greater impact resistance; those who pile on miles can expect a longer service life compared to traditional 6061 or 6063 alloy.  We're proud to introduce this Velocity exclusive alloy in partnership with Profile Precision Extrusion in Arizona.

The Aero is a disc-only road, gravel, commuter, and even tandem ready model built for tires 28-53mm wide.  It's lightweight, yet still remarkably durable, designed after our well-loved Aileron. The Aero features an elliptical profile designed with aerodynamics and strength as key factors. With a 23mm internal width this rim will give riders a nice contact point for better traction.

Tubeless ready using 24mm Velotape.

Tight tolerances require the use of a low profile rim tape like Velotape to avoid tire installation issues.  Veloplugs are not recommended on Aero wheels.
