Fireroad Review JYC
“They turn heads by dozens! I recently discovered Lavelle wheels, and I was seduced and intrigued by the ability to customize the carbon layering based on the user's profile and the qualities they expect from their wheels. Featuring a 25mm internal profile and a hookless design, these wheels are particularly well-suited for gravel riding and accommodating high-volume tires without sacrificing precision in cornering.”
Crafted carbon
Crafted by our in-house team of experts, each wheel is individually handcrafted using top-of-the-line carbon fibre materials, resulting in a wheel that is both durable and lightning fast.
AERO
Featuring Concept-TW, our tyre/wheel design allows for wider tyres without any aero penalty by reducing the turbulence zone at the junction of the tyre and rim, saving watts where it matters most, the front-end of the bike.
Our carbon fibre lay delivers an elegant, symmetrical pattern and the special resin provides UV protection without varnish.
AESTHETICS
RIM WALL
What sets the Fireroad wheel apart is our attention to detail. An extra stiff thick wall rim provides increased impact protection and reduces tyre sidewall punctures, while the wide rim has been developed with the Concept-TW in mind, allowing for wider tyres and major aero gains.
IN-HOUSE DESIGN AND BUILD
USING ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE PROCESSES
Our Fireroad wheels offer impressive performance, but they are also environmentally sustainable, with a manufacturing process that requires only 1/6th of the energy consumption of industry standard carbon fibre manufacture and no harmful lacquers or varnishes. We believe into responsible innovation.
S250 HUBS
DESIGNED TO AEROSPACE ENGINEERING STANDARDS
ø17 mm AXLE - 270 Nm - F210/R340 Grams - HARD ANODIZE 7075 Alloy
Most manufacturers focus solely on aerodynamics and overlook the dramatic watt savings achievable from the hub.
The Fireroad hubs use 7075 aluminium machined from a solid block using aerospace tolerances. Cleverly designed labyrinth seals offer water and grime protection.
Fireroad Review JY C
“However, the most fascinating aspect of these Lavelle wheels lies in their revolutionary rear hub mechanics. Silent and without ratchets, it provides a sense of zero friction, and the freehub engages instantly. Throughout numerous changes in direction, braking, and accelerations on a recent Gravel race, I gradually noticed a quicker response compared to my riding companions. The engagement feels instantaneous.”
CLUTCH
One of the most impressive features is our in-house designed completely silent clutch with ultra-low friction and reinforced bearings, offering unparalleled power engagement and efficiency.
The worst fear, stuck in the middle of nowhere with a failed wheel is no longer a concern.
BEARINGS
We partenered with SKF to supply best in class bearings, selecting a configuration with 2,5x more efficiency than the standard steel 2RS.
Ceramic bearings were rejected as the hardened balls reduce efficiency over time and ceramic gains are not seen at such low rpms anyway.
The bearings are 2 times stronger than standard use bicycle bearings.
FIREROAD JYC Review
“Of course, when it comes to wheels, reliability is essential, and Lavelle's expertise in hi-tech industries and their research and development partnership with SKF ensure top-notch bearings.”
