New Ritchey gear for 2010

Beside the completely new road wheel family, the PRO and PRO Carbon group have been re-worked and shine in “Wet Black” or 3K Carbon optics with a new red logo. In addition there are two new PRO Road handlebars a PRO Carbon Matrix stem. WCS receive the revised WCS Echelon Road pedals and a superlight WCS Saddle with carbon rails.

WCS Apex 38mm Carbon
These 100% hand-built and race-proven road wheels feature carbon 38mm aero rims with a unique blend of unidirectional (UD) hi-modulus carbon fiber. The rims are laced to newly designed forged WCS sealed bearing hubs with Sapim CX Ray Aero stainless steel spokes. The rear hub drive-side spokes are laced using a “Trifecta” pattern, a reinforced “crows foot” pattern where a 2x lacing design is supported with radial spoke (the non-drive side spokes use a standard 2x pattern). The additional reinforcement counteracts pedaling stresses providing a more positive power transfer while maintaining a weight saving low spoke count. In addition, the rear hub uses a forged six-pawl micro clutch free hub body for instant engagement (Shimano/Sram 9/10 speed and Campagnolo compatible). Machined cams, redesigned forged levers and titanium rods combine to make the new WCS quick releases. 20H 1x lacing (front); 24H 2x lacing (rear).  
Weight: 600g(f)/ 852g(r)
