Carbon Ares 8
New for 2012. Get the convenience of clinchers at the weight and speed of tubulars. The Ares8 features an 80mm deep all-carbon clincher rim with Rolf Prima's proven low spoke counts for unparalleled speed.

The all-carbon rim is designed for our low paired spoke count. The brake track is coated to withstand the heat generated from braking and each Ares8 wheel set comes with specially developed brake pads that minimize the heat buildup while providing optimum stopping performance. Choose the Ares8 for its combination of a wider spoke bed and 80mm depth which significantly decreases wind drag providing the ultimate in all-carbon wheel aerodynamics. The Ares8 can also be purchased as individual wheels so you can create the combination of front and rear wheel that best suits you.
