Kinetic-One K1-36SL ULTIMATE Carbon Aero Road Disc Wheelset
SCROLL ACROSS TO SEE OUR STUNNING NEW DECAL OPTIONS
INTENDED USE: Our ULTIMATE LIGHTWEIGHT 700c carbon FILAMENT-WOUND DISC wheelset. Now with Bitex lightest hubs and SAPIM CXRAY options!
At 30mm wide (21mm internal) they are slightly wider than last years model, and weigh from as little as 1425 grams, with superb aero characteristics married to superlative strength and handling - they are our lightweight climbers disc wheelset. BUT our wheels are also tough … rated to 120kg riders.
The filament wound construction also confers great strength - meaning these wheel are equally home on TARMAC, TRAIL and CYCLOCROSS. Optimised for road tyres in the 25-32mm range, we designed them specifically to get the best out of the new generation of clincher/tubeless tyres. Should you choose to venture onto trails/gravel they will take tyres to to 50mm and beyond.
Using the very latest filament-winding carbon lay-up processes - This DISC wheelset combines the lightest weight and highest strength that current technologies will allow - Rated to a superb 120Kg its tough enough even for cyclocross.
Our premium full-carbon wheelset utilises patented filament-wound, robotic-built, ultra-high temperature rims.
Sounds fancy: Filament winding technology is an automated method which has revolutionised rim consistency in the manufacture of full carbon wheels. Made from single carbon filaments - the manufacturing process enables precise control of every step - resulting in the roundest, strongest, lightest wheel combinations.
This level of precision and care extends throughout the entire quality control process - with each and every rim X-Rayed for structural uniformity and compliance.
Your wheels will be hand built to order in the UK. (current build times are 14-21 days).
BUILD VERSIONS (Hub and Spoke Options)
Our standard SUPERAEROLIGHT build uses the superb Bitex hubs from Taiwan (the world’s longest established hub maker!). Both options laced with Pillars excel PSR Aero spokes.
When specced in the fabulous SUPERAEROLIGHT ++ Build. This includes superlight Bitex hubs and superlative SAPIM CXRAY spokes and takes this option close to 1400 grams.
This is the newest of our K1 carbon wheelsets, with a full carbon u-shaped rim profile - it is aimed at those riders who prefer an ultra-modern wider rimmed wheelset. When specced with the wonderfully aero and light CXRAY spokes and our lightweight hubs .... They come in at 1330-1430grams. And they are also "tubeless ready"!
It's an incredibly fast-moving time for road disc systems at the moment with lots of competing standards for Axle types and frame fitting methods and for rotor fastening.
The K1-36SL's are handbuilt to order and are available for the whole wide range of modern axle and rotor fitment systems. Whatever your frame needs we can configure these wheels to your bike. And even if you change your bike - the hubs are all simply convertible to all the other axles standards! We think that's massively important as it future-proofs your wheels! (no one wants to be left with the betamax of hub types and obsolete wheels!)
Or just drop us a line If you don't know what system your bike has (you won't be alone - many people very understandably don't know, they just want to ride their bike after all!)
AXLES : We can configure your wheel axles to meet your frame requirements. So whether you have standard quick release or the more modern "thru-axle" setup, or whether you have 135mm or 142 mm rear spacing, we can supply them ready-to-roll!
HUBS : We use the superb Bitex 6-drive hubs. WE NOW ALSO OFFER THE ULTIMATE IN PERFORMANCE HUBS: The DTSwiss 350 and 240 series. And now we offer the amazing CARBON-Ti hubs too!

Reviews
I have covered over 1000 miles on these rims and can only say they are fantastic. The graphics are very stylish and the rigidity is second to none which is very confidence inspiring. They have remained absolutely true, roll very freely and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Purchased a set of the older specced wheels in stealth black/grey. They look classy on my bike and very understated. First impressions are that they perform really well. I was looking for something at a sensible price to hopefully give me some meaningful aero gain for fast group rides when it's my turn to pull on the front. Andy suggested the K1-33 and for what I currently need these seem spot on. Very happy with them.
Wheels arrived as planned and I’ve got them set up on the Trek Emonda and had a couple of rides. Loving these hoops, free rolling and very stable even when we rode on some less well maintained road surfaces in the rain and winds gusting to 40+mph! Simply awesome. Once again thanks to you and the team for producing a great quality item
I’m really pleased with the wheels, they’ve made a noticeable difference! First ride out on one of my usual routes, and when I got back Strava told me I’d broken 19 personal records
Excellent set of wheels,sturdy enough to take the pounding of Cheshire tarmac (and potholes) no problem. Light and durable at this price - excellent value. Bling rating - 5/5 really look the D's B's.
