THE AUSTRALIAN WHEEL COMPANY
Looking to go faster? Then look no further.
At 1455 grams, the Craftworx Ultima Aero SL is the new standard for speed on two wheels. Weʼve distilled the very essence of riding fast into pure carbon fiber pleasure without making a single compromise on stiffness or durability.
Whether youʼre a budding amateur, a hardened rouleur, or a rider with a deep affinity for all-day soul rides in the mountains, the Ultima Aero SL is built to deliver effortless aerodynamics and best-in-class power transfer.
The 50mm deep wheel generates and maintains airflow attachment, reducing drag and thereby keeping your speeds higher for longer.
With low weight, and bomber durability, the Ultima C50 Aero SL achieves a rare trifecta of qualities that admit them to the hallowed pantheon of truly versatile wheelsets. Climb, descend, or prowl the flats with confidence knowing that youʼre ready for whatever the road can throw at you.

Wondering how we achieve such a high standard? We do it one handbuilt wheel at a time in our Brisbane workshop. Our craft is building the best wheelsets available anywhere. Everything we create is built to meticulous standards that are constantly improved through marginal gains. With an industry-leading quality control practice in place, we are on the never-ending quest for wheel-building perfection.
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.
'The finish quality is awesome, wheel wizard Mark gets an elephant stamp for his attention to detail! Needless to say, the bling factor was off the Richter scale with the bunch! (mixing it with Enve's, Zipps etc.)'
The Ultima Carbon C50 Aero SL uses our latest 25mm wide rim profile. Perfectly suited to 25mm tyres allowing you to maximise the performance of your tyres. The shape of the tyre on a wider rim increases speed, improves handling and gives you a more comfortable, smoother ride.

More Speed
Our core principle is that through better engineering and superior materials, we can achieve featherlight weights without cutting corners. With this principle in mind, we designed the Craftworx Ultima SL hubs that are standard on the Ultima Aero SL wheelset.
Enduro bearings keep these hubs running smooth and fast!
Less Weight
Our SL hubs tip the scales at a scant 247 grams but include the high-end features youʼd expect from a much heavier set.

Form and Function

Our proprietary braking system resists heat build up.
Ultima Aero SL carbon wheels resist heat build up when youʼre flying downhill and apply the brakes.
Regardless of conditions, the Ultima Aero SL stop on a dime. Weʼve specially developed our proprietary carbon rim and brake pad system so that, when paired, create the perfect match.
Real Life Testing Conditions
Over a four-month training period in the Alps, world cup triathlete Emma Jackson barely scratched the surface of her Ultima Aero SL wheelset. All told, brake pad wear came in at a mere 55%, and there was zero wear on the carbon rims.
