THE AUSTRALIAN WHEEL COMPANY
The C28 wheels are super light and amazing to ride. With lightning acceleration, these wheels spin up to speed very quickly and oh boy, do they climb!
This is a no compromise build with the very lightest hubs,spokes and nipples carefully chosen to make wheels that are not only super light, but can also be ridden all day long. The compliance of the low profile rim and the bladed spokes ensure that Ultima C28 Carbon SL wheels tame the roughest of road surfaces.
A very popular choice for racers, these wheels are awesome for any type or road riding and even triathlons. These are Emma Jacksons favorites for racing World Cup triathlons around the world!
Available in the Black on Black rims and there are small quantity of the White on Black rims available too. These can be ordered with either black or blue hubs (Very Limited!!)

Don't be scared of the big hills
The Ultima Aero SL carbon wheelset is equally at home racing UCI calendar bikes races and local after work group rides. Thatʼs because weʼve built them to the discerning standards of professionals like world-class triathlete Emma Jackson, who rode our Ultima Carbon wheels to two World Cup race podiums.
With invaluable feedback like hers, weʼve conclusively built the Ultima Aero SL wheelset to manufacturing standards that meet and exceed UCI testing requirements.
There are a lot of technical aspects to building the perfect wheel, and although this skill can be acquired overtime by most capable mechanics, we have mastered it. We are the Wheel Experts.
Every Craftworx Custom Hand Built Wheel is crafted with extreme care and precision. We know that to achieve the ride dynamics, durability and performance that we expect, every stage must be taken carefully to ensure all components are built to our exacting standards.

In wet or dry conditions, Ultima carbon wheels stop with ease. Our carbon rims and brake pads have been developed to resist heat build up ( the biggest single reason why carbon rims “melt or delaminate” under prolonged braking ).
Want proof, Australian Triathlete Emma Jackson, 4 months training in European Alps. 6,875km. Total elevation gain 76,200m. Longest descent 20 minutes. End result, zero wear on carbon rims, brake pad wear at 55%.
“I was a bit worried about the braking performance of carbon rims but my concerns were put at ease on the first ride, not an issue, excellent braking performance” Mark from Melbourne with his Sprint SL’s
