Venn Var 40 TCD filament wound tubeless clincher disc brake carbon rim

The Venn Var 40 TCD wide disc brake specific rims are aerodynamically optimised for gravel bikes and wide tire use. The objective was to deliver a wheelset that is aerodynamic at large yaw angles.

Riding a bike over uneven terrain means that it is impossible to hold the wheel straight. It bounces, moves, you correct your direction to pick the best line, but you do not want to slow down. This means that your front wheel will not spend much time facing the direction that you intend to travel. The Venn Var 40 TCD was developed to make you go faster in real gravel conditions, not in a tunnel. The rim also has twice as high spoke hole strength compared to other rims in the market. This ensures that you can use your wheels in any condition without fear of damage.

VAR filament winding process utilises slit tape towpreg to accurately lay up the carbon fiber in an automated, computer controlled process.

The use of preimpregnated carbon fiber tape allows us to use the latest resins that offer the optimal blend of high glass transition (Tg) temperature exceeding 240° C in testing , toughness and impact resistance. Var rims can therefore be used in challenging conditions where extended braking periods are expected.

The rims are compatible with clincher, or tubeless tires that when used with a sealant virtually eliminate the inconvenience of having a flat tire away from home, or during a race.

We can assemble your set of wheels using hubs of your choice.
