TECHNOLOGY
SDM RIM TECH
To make strong, durable rims, we add extra layers of carbon to some of the most important parts of your wheelset.
SDM BRAKE TECH
We apply an extra layer of basalt fiber to every SDM Braking surface, which gives you noticeably better braking performance and extraordinary durability.
SDM HUB TECH
We’ve built an over-class hubset into our SDM designs. The BiteX Ceramic hubset is designed to have extra-strong wheel geometry, durability and smoothness…
SDM SPOKE
It might seem like an obvious fact for any road bike, but we’ve seen again and again that thicker spokes make for a stronger and more durable wheel.

The SDM series is great. When the wheels came in, they were perfectly true and still are almost 1000miles later. They climb well and cut through cross winds with easy! This wheel set is perfect for training AND racing.

I am very happy with my new wheels, this foto is taken when i just got them, last weekend i had a time trail race and they ride awsome
Martin Molteni –
I tested my Bladex wheelset 9×9 with Schwalbe Pro One tubeless (700c x 25) tyres and SDM Ceramic hubs, they are very very smooth, and his integrated toroidal profile, really works with cross winds. They are extremely fast!!!
