The Australian Wheel Company
We have been quietly working on a range of hubs for custom building in a range of colours.
For the moment, these are very limited and this is your opportunity to own something that is truly unique.
Ultima Carbon C38 wheels are an extremely versatile and compliant all round performer. Fast up hills, quick to accelerate and noticeably smoother on rough road surfaces.
The aerodynamic shape enables them to hold speed with less effort.
And at 1396 grams, they are light!
Limited Edition C38 GOLD
Braking Performance
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

I purchased C38 SL aero tubeless wheels ready from Craftworx through my bike shop Spoke n sproket in Melbourne.
I have upgraded from Mavic overrated kysirium exalith Pro wheels which were very fast with noisy brakes. Enough about my problems. I took these wheels for a spin and they blew me away with scaryspeed and just had to hold the brake a little too slow down wasn't used to the scary speed I call it and smooth as silk with racing and braking performance 2nd to none and look modestly great. Money well spent and can't wait to ride them again. Mark and his team have so much passion in their field of wheel building and should be awarded with medals in my book. If the review was out of 10 I would give them 11. I can't stop rating these wheels. Mark and crew please keep up what your doing and get stronger with your passion.
