OROME Valar ACE TT & Triathlon Carbon Disc Wheelset

Built for the clock. Designed for aerodynamic performance.

When you're racing against the clock, every watt matters.

The OROME Valar ACE TT & Triathlon Carbon Wheelset is designed for riders focused on aerodynamic efficiency during time trials, triathlons and long-distance racing.

Featuring a solid carbon rear disc wheel and an aerodynamic carbon front wheel, this specialist wheelset is designed to help reduce drag when maintaining speed on fast, flatter courses.

Originally developed for the ELVES Amanyar 1.0 Triathlon Frameset, the Valar ACE combines carbon fibre construction, ceramic bearing hubs and a distinctive race-focused design.

Why Choose the OROME Valar ACE TT & Tri Wheelset?

• Full Carbon Rear Disc Wheel: Designed to minimise aerodynamic drag around the rear wheel during sustained high-speed riding.

• Aerodynamic Front Wheel: Complements the rear disc for a race-focused aerodynamic setup.

• 24K Carbon Fibre Construction: Optimised carbon lay-up designed to balance rim stiffness, strength and weight.

• TPI Ceramic Bearings: Designed for smooth rotation and reduced hub friction.

• Star Ratchet Hub System: Provides responsive engagement and straightforward maintenance.

• 22mm Internal Rim Width: Accommodates wider modern road tyres.

• Centrelock Disc Brake Compatibility: Designed for performance road and triathlon bikes equipped with Centrelock disc brakes.

• Purpose-Built for Triathlon: Developed to complement the ELVES Amanyar 1.0 Triathlon Frameset.

Why Choose a Rear Disc Wheel for Triathlon?

At triathlon and time trial speeds, aerodynamic drag accounts for a significant proportion of the resistance a cyclist must overcome.

A solid rear disc wheel removes the gaps between conventional spokes, helping manage airflow around the rear of the bike.

For riders maintaining a consistent aerodynamic position and steady power output, a disc wheel can offer an advantage over conventional spoked wheels, particularly on flatter and faster courses.

Unlike road racing, where frequent accelerations and climbing may influence wheel choice, triathlon and time trial performance often comes down to sustaining speed efficiently over longer distances.

What About Crosswinds?

Deep-section and disc wheels can behave differently in crosswinds compared with shallower wheels.

While rear disc wheels are commonly used in triathlons and time trials, front wheel selection is particularly important because crosswinds affect steering.

Consider your experience, course conditions and race regulations before selecting a dedicated aerodynamic race wheelset.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the advantage of a rear disc wheel in triathlon?

A solid rear disc wheel is designed to reduce aerodynamic drag compared with many conventional spoked wheels. This can be particularly beneficial during sustained efforts on faster, flatter courses.

Are disc wheels suitable for windy conditions?

Rear disc wheels are commonly used in triathlons, but handling will depend on wind conditions, rider experience and the front wheel configuration. Always consider the course and weather before racing.

Can I use these wheels on my existing triathlon bike?

Potentially, provided the axle, brake, drivetrain and frame clearances are compatible. The wheelset was originally designed for the ELVES Amanyar 1.0, so compatibility with other frames should be confirmed before purchasing.

Are these suitable for everyday road riding?

They're primarily intended for racing against the clock. For general road riding, climbing and variable conditions, a conventional spoked carbon wheelset may be more practical.

What are the benefits of ceramic bearings?

Ceramic bearings can help reduce hub friction and offer good corrosion resistance. Actual performance depends on bearing design, lubrication and maintenance.

Built for Your Next Personal Best
