FEATURES
RIM GEOMETRY
The RS55 SL's taller 55mm rim profile was shaped and refined in a bicycle-specific wind tunnel, delivering a meaningful reduction in drag at race speeds — on flat roads, rolling terrain, and long steady efforts, that translates directly into free speed. The hooked rim design features a modern 21mm internal width and 28mm external width, striking the ideal balance between wide tire support, aerodynamic efficiency, and compatibility with a broad range of tubeless and clincher tires.
HANDBUILT IN CANADA
Every RS55 SL is handbuilt in Canada, where skilled wheelbuilders hand-lace, tension, and true each wheel to exacting standards. Sapim CX-Ray aero bladed spokes reduce weight and drag, ceramic bearings minimize rolling resistance, and internal spoke nipples keep the profile clean and aerodynamic.
THE RESULT
At just 1,350g for the set — remarkably light for a 55mm depth — the Realspeed RS55 SL delivers uncompromising aero performance with virtually no weight penalty on the climbs, whether you're holding pace in a flat road race, riding a time trial, or racing a triathlon.
