Using nano-elastomers within the carbon structure, the carbon’s surface area is less affected by fracturing caused by impacts The nano-elastomers provide an ultra high toughness to block cracking and withhold the resin from separating from the carbon fiber. In fact in laboratory experiments, the GIc has shown to be above 1000J/m2 (GIc = Fracture Toughness (Gc) under Mode I).

Differing from old-style precast rings, A-Pro-developed particular spoke reinforcement with isotropic design works to transfer spoke tension away from the spoke hole to the rim body. This design not only decreases spoke tension and spoke fatigue, but provides an overall lighter weight rim.

Continuously verify and optimize the wheel by measuring the aerodynamic forces, pressure distribution, or other aerodynamic-related characteristics.

The hooks on the sidewalls of bicycle rims came about as a way to center the tire around the rim while the tire was being inflated. They were initially developed as a way to hold road tires on the rims when inflating them to higher pressures.
