Encore have state of the art manufacturing facility that allows them to build a high quality, American made, racing and training wheel at a fraction of the cost of other high-end wheels of similar materials. Injection-molded carbon wheel bodies are machined to accept their custom-extruded aluminum rims and 7075 aluminum hubs. Using computer-aided design technology, Encore have developed a wheel that is highly stable, aerodynamic and has superior structural integrity. These qualities help to more than makeup for any perceived weight penalties. Riders can expect the ultimate in lateral stiffness for cornering and the maximum amount of power transferred from pedal to the ground. This maximizes energy output and helps you to maintain your speed easier using fewer watts, with less fatigue.
