Limited Edition DUKE Rim 28″ Baccara 42 Ultra SLR2 Disc UD-Carbon asymmetric

DUKE rim 28″ Baccara 42 Ultra SLR2 Disc UD carbon asymmetric

Light enough to storm to the top, but streamlined enough so you don’t fall behind on the flat, that’s the best way to characterize the Baccara 42. With this light all-round rim you definitely have the perfect equipment on your bike. A weight of well under 400g with a rim height of 42 mm is unrivalled. Nevertheless, no savings were made on safety, after all it is approved for a system weight of 95 kg.
How did the French do this? They took a closer look at the individual elements of the rim and looked for optimization options. In particular, a new resin was used. This not only made it possible to slim down, but also to increase impact resistance at the same time. Thanks to the SLS2 production process, post-processing or painting is not necessary here. The use of highly modular carbon fibers also improves the inherent damping, which in turn has a positive effect on driving comfort. The modified structure enables unrestricted tubeless use and brings measurable aerodynamic advantages.
In the Ultra version, material was also saved in non-critical areas in order to save further weight without sacrificing functionality.

The rims are provided with an asymmetrical rim profile, which allows a more even angle of the spokes. This optimization of the spoke angle brings with it a multitude of advantages. The tension on both sides can be better balanced, which is beneficial to the durability of the spokes and the entire wheel. The normally directional lateral stiffness is also adjusted so that the impeller becomes more stable.
