„Light, fast, stable: Novatec‘s new R5 wheelsets are a lot of fun and offer exceptional value for money. Sure, 849 euros is still a lot of money. But compared to numerous big-name competitors, you pay significantly less – if they even achieve such an attractive lightweight build at all. Novatec thus joins the ranks of currently very fairly priced wheelset offerings such as those from Aerycs, Leeze or Newmen.“
DRS (Dual Ratchet System) ensures a super durable, consistent, and quick engaging hub
System Two disc-shaped multi-tooth ratchet rings achieve a 360-degree engagement. This means that the contact surface is significantly larger than traditional freewheel systems (over six times the size of a conventional 27-tooth, 3-pawl system). This ensures a more direct and stable transfer of kinetic energy. The clean, durable and efficient system is designed to be simple to service and maintain.
Cassette Body With its modular design, you can effortlessly swap cassette bodies of various specifications using just two 17 mm wrenches.
Compatibility The 18/36-tooth ratchet rings can be directly interchanged without the need for any additional components. This intuitive design allows easy and straightforward functional adjustments.
Springs After undergoing 500,000 fatigue tests, the springs continue to exhibit stable and reliable functionality. Our springs provide you with peace of mind and durability in terms of ratchet engagement performance.
