The new Baccara X wheels retain the philosophy and innovative features of the previous Carbon-Ti wheels models.

 

The 23 mm wide channel allows you to pedal with lower pressures, ensuring better control of the bicycle and improving its smoothness, especially on the bumpiest roads.

 

Asymmetric drilling (2 mm offset) allows a more homogeneous spoke tension on both flanges of the hubs for greater overall stiffness of the wheels.
