Durability, aerodynamics, stiffness, weight
and strength are major factors in wheel
selection. In addition to paired spokes,
there are several Rolf Prima patented
design technologies that combine to give
Rolf Prima wheel systems their superior
performance.
Light weight wheels that can withstand the power of sprinters,
the daring of mountain bikers and the elements of ‘cross are not
straightforward. They are the combination of science, art and
technology.
Our attention to every aspect of the process, from hand-building
to customer service makes us stand out. Behind the scenes is
a team of cyclists who design, test, build and most importantly
ride. A team that breathes cycling and exhales ideas.
Airflow
Delta Rim Technology™ –
In skydiving, the Delta track is the fastest
position for gaining forward airspeed.
Our Delta profile takes that cue using
increased width and sidewall shaping to
improve airflow and stability in straight
on and crosswind
situations. This
wider rim is not
just faster, but
the additional
tire support
improves
cornering and
handling in all
Prima
Standard
riding conditions. Rolf

Airflow
Hand-building - Every Rolf Prima wheel is carefully
hand-built using a painstaking build process that enables
our wheels to run true longer without the need for constant
attention. A machine built wheel simply cannot compete
with the skill of a wheel builder’s hand to create a truly light,
aerodynamic and durable wheel with uniform tensions.
Paired Spokes™ – Our
Paired Spoke technology broke new
ground when it was introduced in 1996.
Bringing the spokes to the rim in pairs
neutralizes the left and right outward
pulling forces allowing us to build true
wheels on lighter rims with fewer
spokes. Fewer spokes and lighter rims
help create increased aerodynamics and
faster performing wheels.
Differential Flange
Diameter™ – Our patented oversize
non-drive Differential Flange provides
the leverage to transmit drive torque in
the rear wheel to the non-drive spokes,
thereby increasing the number of torque
absorbing spokes.
Jacketed Nipple Design™ –
The deeper the rim, the more a spoke must
bend along its path to the hub flange. Our
patented Jacketed Nipple Design moves
the bend of the spoke away from the high
stress area of the spoke
threads and increases
spoke life significantly.
Self-Aligning Nipple™ – This
patented design allows the nipple to
rotate in a ball and socket configuration
to minimize bending in the
spoke and increase spoke life.
Dish Reducing Design™ –
This patented technology increases the
bracing angle of the drive side spokes to
improve wheel stiffness.

For 2014, our Ares wheels got faster. Initially
developed on our tubular TdF wheels, the clincher
Ares wheels incorporate our Delta Rim Technology.
Not only has this improved aerodynamics, but it has
improved the overall ride feel and handling. From
carving the turns in a tuck to sprinting for the finish,
the Ares wheels deliver precision performance.
Our carbon TdF wheels have been powering our pros to the top
podium step for years. However, it is not just pro’s who benefit from
the technology in our TdF wheels. The Delta Rim Technology was first
introduced by Rolf Prima in our TdF line and this profile improves every
aspect of the ride from crosswind stability to weight, precision handling
and outright speed. The countless hours of design, development and
testing means you can dive into the corners and drill it off the front.

It has been over 10 years since we first introduced the Vigor
and it is still the fastest alloy wheel available. More than that, it is
the best handling wheel. Cross wind? Swirling wind? The Delta rim
profile provides best in class handling regardless of the conditions.
The combination of wind cheating aerodynamics and its minimal
weight is unrivaled. There is a good reason why these wheels are
the go-to option for elite and recreational riders everywhere.

Downright light and fast, our Elan wheels are perfect for
steep climbs, quick accelerations and all-out riding. The Elan a
and Elan are both built using our Delta Rim Technology which
improves stiffness and handling. This allows us to shed even
more weight off an industry leading lightweight wheel set.
With the aerodynamic benefits of the Delta rim profile, the
Elan line moves lightweight wheels into the aero category.

As avid Mountain bikers ourselves, we develop
what we want to ride. This led us to the lightweight and robust Ralos cross country line which
has expanded for 2014 to include the Ralos XR’s
at a more budget friendly price point. We’ve also
added the Rage and Rage XR all-mountain wheels
for bigger tires and bigger riding.

Rolf Prima’s Cyclocross wheel line is already the industry’s

4CX-disc that are built on a 42mm deep carbon tubular rim for
increased tire support.
