SPIEGEL - FAQs

Why XeNTiS?

 

XeNTiS carbon wheels are made of Formula1-tested carbon material and 100% handcrafted in Austria. 

 

All wheels are fitted with a unique RFID chip that contains wheel information such as origin and manufacturing specifications.

 

Aerodynamics are improved with the XeNTiS active TURBULATOR  (wave like design that minimises air resistance).

 

The patented BRAKE surface ensures top performance in wet and dry conditions plus no wear-out on the brake surface.

 

The rolling characteristics of XeNTiS wheels simply have to be experienced. Each wheel is harmonically balanced using an integrated tachometer magnet (no magnet in SQUAD 2.5).

 

All XeNTiS wheels are UV protected using an attractive clear-coated surface finish.

 

At XeNTiS, design and durability go hand in hand.

 

The ASYMMETRIC RIM PROFILE  means that the spoke tension left and right is almost equal which supports lateral stiffness of the wheel while ensuring optimal power transfer. 

 

Due to the TUBELESS READY system all XeNTiS clincher wheels are ridable without an inner tube. Because of the special rim base the tyre fits perfectly to the rim flange.

​

What is the difference between the SL and the RACE versions of the 2.4, 4.2 and 5.8 SQUAD wheelsets?


The RACE versions will particularly appeal to those entering the high level wheel market with a budget in mind. Most of the design features remain the same however the choice of materials reflect the difference in price. Rims are manufactured using 3K  v UD carbon, the front and rear hubs are still DT Swiss quality but the 350 v the 240 version. 

 

When it comes to the balance between budget and performance, you can be reassured that the RACE version delivers both.
