Upgrade your road cycling performance with the Velocity A23 Rim-a precision-engineered, lightweight 700c clincher rim built for speed, durability, and aerodynamic efficiency. Crafted in the USA, this black aluminum rim features a 19.5mm deep profile based on the proven Aerohead design, offering an enhanced aerodynamic advantage ideal for racing and training. Materials & Construction: Made from alloy, the Velocity A23 Rim boasts a hollow core construction with machined sidewalls, ensuring optimal braking performance and weight savings. Weighing only 426 grams per rim, it delivers the perfect balance of strength and lightweight responsiveness-essential for aggressive road racing and endurance cycling. Performance & Engineering: Designed with an 18mm internal width and asymmetric offset drilling for improved wheel dish, the A23 Rim provides a wider footprint that enhances tire contact and improves ride comfort. Compatible with 23mm tires, it offers a more aerodynamic rim/tire combination, reducing rolling resistance and increasing speed on race days or fast group rides. Components & Technology: This clincher rim is tubeless-ready, allowing for a seamless tubeless setup that minimizes flats, reduces weight, and increases traction. Velocity recommends using their 21mm Velotape kit (RS1005) for a secure tubeless seal, making setup foolproof and maintenance simple. The EXD diameter (601mm) ensures precise fitment with compatible hubs and compatible brake systems-rim brake or disc/rim configurations. Style & Use Case: With a sleek black finish and aggressive profile, the Velocity A23 Rim is designed for serious cyclists seeking performance upgrades-whether in road racing, training, or cyclocross. Its asymmetric design allows for optimized spoke tension and wheel strength, making it suitable for competitive riding and demanding terrains.
