At Elitewheels, we believe in the power of marginal gains—small, deliberate improvements that add up to a big performance edge. That philosophy is built into every detail of the new Drive TT wheel.
For the first time, we’ve introduced the sail effect design concept, refined through extensive data analysis to enhance aerodynamic efficiency. (Sail effect: At certain yaw angles, the interaction between the wheel and wind direction can generate forward thrust, reducing aerodynamic drag and lowering rider power output.) This was validated through wind tunnel testing at Silverstone, UK, where under optimal conditions, the Drive TT required as little as 76W of power at 45 km/h -20°yaw angle.
Crafted from high-strength 7075 aluminum, both the front and rear hubs are built for durability and performance. They are equipped with premium S&S Ceramic for smooth, long-lasting operation.
The lightweight freehub features an upgraded 50T tapered ratchet system with a 7.2° engagement angle, delivering rapid responsiveness. Unlike traditional flat ratchets, the specially angled tooth surfaces enable automatic self-alignment, which increases the engagement area. This design not only enhances stability and reliability but also reduces stress on the tooth surfaces, minimizing wear and extending the hub’s overall lifespan.
