The ARV 48 is a performance road wheelset for riders chasing all-round capability on any road. We built it on the proven ARX 48 architecture and took it to the highest level – an ultra-light, exceptionally stiff wheelset made from the most advanced materials available today. It’s equally at home on steep climbs and fast, flat sections.
Aerodynamics in perfect balance
The outer rim profile stays true to the ARX – the same CFD-proven shape and the same 23 mm internal width for 28-30 mm tires. The wheels slice cleanly through the air and handle with confidence even in strong crosswinds. The balance between aerodynamics, low weight and crosswind stability is refined enough here that we deliberately chose to leave it untouched.
Optimised rim construction
Outwardly the rim matches the ARX 48 line, but we redesigned its internal structure from the ground up for carbon spokes. Because these are stiffer and damp vibration differently, we reinforced the rim profile where it matters and offset the added material by precisely tapering the layup elsewhere. The highest-grade T1000 carbon fibre brought rim weight down to just 345 g.
Titanium and carbon – a recipe for stiffness
The next stage of cutting rotating weight happens at the spokes. We build the ARV 48 around aero carbon spokes with titanium heads and threads. This drops overall weight while markedly raising the stiffness of the build. The result is a snappy bike that responds to every pedal stroke – on the climbs and out of corners – with striking ease.
Every ARV 48 set is the work of experienced wheelbuilders. At its heart sit reliable DT Swiss 240 hubs in the carbon-spoke-specific build. Precise lacing and rigorous truing deliver a complete wheelset – versatile, durable and ready to match your highest race ambitions whatever the terrain.
Yes. As standard, the wheels are built for today’s most common thru axle system – 12×100 mm (front) and 12×142 mm (rear) – which is the standard on almost every modern road bike. The hubs in these wheels cannot be converted to other standards.
It comes down to the character of your riding. With its 48 mm depth, the ARV 48 is a performance all-rounder: ultralight, snappy on climbs and calmer in crosswinds, yet still aerodynamic on the flat. It excels on demanding routes with elevation and over long distances. If your priority is maximum speed and racing on flat and lightly rolling routes, choose the deeper ARV 55. Both models combine a rim enriched with T1000 fibres, carbon spokes, DT Swiss 240 hubs and a lifetime warranty.
Yes. Every wheel that leaves our workshop is already sealed with the correct tubeless tape. Valves are not part of the set, but you can add them in our shop. Just add them to your cart and we’ll match their length and base shape to fit the 48 mm rim depth perfectly.
We shaped the outer profile of the ARV 48 rim so that, together with a 28-30 mm tire, it forms the most aerodynamic combination. This setup delivers the most effective reduction in air resistance at high speed. With a 23 mm internal rim width, you can also run much wider tires safely. The only real limit is your frame clearance.
The ARV 48 uses hooked rims (with a bead hook). This is the most versatile and safest solution, allowing both tubeless (tubeless) and classic clincher tires with inner tubes (including latex or TPU), without the strict pressure limits typical of hookless rims.
You order the wheels with a freehub body matched to your drivetrain – options include Shimano HG 11-speed (also compatible with 12-speed road cassettes), SRAM XDR, Shimano Micro Spline and Campagnolo N3W. Before ordering, make sure the chosen freehub body is compatible with the components on your bike. We encourage you to read the article on our blog covering this topic.
We build this model exclusively on DT Swiss 240 hubs in a version adapted for carbon spokes. Other hubs cannot be selected, because the ARV 48 rims have their holes drilled at precisely measured angles matched only to this hub model. This translates into greater durability and reliability of the wheels.
Yes. The carbon spokes we use in the ARV models have titanium heads and threads, and their tensile strength is very high at a far lower weight than steel spokes. In everyday use they are extremely durable and they additionally increase wheel stiffness. If one is damaged, we replace the spoke as a service job in our workshop – do not try to straighten or repair it yourself. The ARV set is covered by a lifetime warranty and the Crash Replacement programme, and we keep all spare parts in stock, so we can carry out any repair within two weeks.
Yes. The ARV 48 rim profile was designed using airflow simulation analysis, with particular attention to stability in crosswind gusts. The rim has a U-shape rather than the outdated V-shape. As a result, the wheels are far less sensitive to crosswinds and stay stable and predictable even at high speed. That makes them ideal all-rounders – equally at home on flat routes and in rolling terrain.
Thanks to a reinforced T1000 carbon fibre layup and 24 ultra-stiff carbon spokes in each wheel, the weight limit (rider + bike) is as high as 125 kg.
On wheels built on carbon rims we offer a lifetime warranty, and we process claims within five working days. We also cover them with our Crash Replacement programme: if you damage a rim in a crash, we’ll replace it on preferential terms. We carry out all service repairs within two weeks, because we keep the necessary parts in stock. We build every wheel by hand in our Warsaw workshop and treat each one as a separate project.
