Wheels
The Realspeed RS55 SLR is the pinnacle of the RS55 line — an aero wheelset engineered without compromise, pulling out every stop in pursuit of pure speed.
A 55mm profile built to cut through the air, at a weight that rivals wheels half its depth — hold speed on the flats and still feel alive the moment the road tilts up.
The RS55 SLR's 55mm rim profile was shaped and refined in a bicycle-specific wind tunnel, delivering a meaningful reduction in drag at race speeds. The hooked rim design features a modern 24mm internal width and 30mm external width, striking the ideal balance between wide tire support, aerodynamic efficiency, and compatibility with a broad range of tubeless and clincher tires.
Every RS55 SLR is handbuilt in Canada, where skilled wheelbuilders hand-lace, tension, and true each wheel to exacting standards. It retains the ultra-high-modulus Torayca T1100G carbon rim and ceramic bearings of the SL, then goes further with Vonoa full carbon fiber aero bladed spokes with titanium end fittings — dramatically reducing unsprung weight while increasing torsional stiffness for more direct power transfer and sharper handling.
At just 1,150g for the set, the Realspeed RS55 SLR delivers the aero advantage, the climbing edge, and the sharpest handling in the lineup — the ultimate expression of what an aero wheelset can be.
