Aileron Tandem Wheelset

Lead time: 3 weeks

The Aileron is our lightweight, tubeless-ready all-road rim — a modern wider profile built to make today's wider road and gravel tires feel right at home. It hits its sweet spot in the 28c to 40c range, which puts it squarely in the zone for endurance road, all-road, and light gravel riding. Lightweight enough for long climbs and stiff enough for hard cornering, the Aileron is the rim for riders who want one wheelset to cover a lot of ground.

Built with Velocity Tandem hubs and Sapim Leader spokes, with a higher spoke count for the demands of tandem riding.

We chose the Sapim Force for our heavy-duty builds because its single-butted design increases material at the elbow, where higher loads demand added strength. The thicker 2.18 mm section improves durability and fatigue resistance under heavy riders or loaded conditions, delivering long-term reliability without sacrificing build quality.
