Venn Var 45 TCC filament wound tubeless clincher rim brake bike carbon wheels
$989,00 (ex. VAT $719,20)
Parallel filament wound tubeless clincher carbon wheelset. 45mm profile, rim brake.
The profile of the Var 45 TCC rim brake bicycle 45mm carbon wheels was developed to offer the best aerodynamics when used with 25-28mm tires.
The external width of 30mm (28mm at the brake track) optimizes the airflow in combination with wider tires, while the internal width of 21mm ensures that the wider tires achieve a stable, round profile. The resulting aerodynamic performance of the Venn Var 45 TCC carbon wheels exceeds that of generic 50mm carbon wheels in some conditions while offering superior handling.
The rim width also means that the rims are laterally very stiff while the filament winding process ensures that the rims remain vertically compliant due to the 45 degree fiber layup bias. The combination of these features results in very fast, safe handling carbon wheels that can be used in any conditions.
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 Venn Var 45 TCC 45mm carbon wheels 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.
Venn Rea db hubs feature a cold forged, CNC machine hub shell with a low drag 24 pawl engagement freehub rolling on Enduro bearings that feature dual lip seals to keep the water and dirt out, and grease in ensuring better performance even in bad weather.

I went from Giant’s SLR1 carbon clinchers to this wheelset and it has been quite a noticeable improvement! There was some initial hesitation in putting on a slightly heavier wheelset but there are definitely have not been any drawbacks. It’s been improvements all around: power transfer and acceleration feels improved- wheelset feels stiffer, holds speed better (more aero?), “feels” like rolling resistance has been reduced, does not feel heavier on climbs, brakes better, improvement in comfort (went from 17mm internally wide rims to 21mm), and the most crazy part that I don’t get is even the handling of the bike feels sharper yet more stable at the same time?

Used RaceRim built Reynolds OEM 50mm with White Industries hubs attached by Sapim CX-RAY bladed spokes. Always Continental GP400S IIs, butyl tubes and Velox cotton rim tape. The tried and true no flat combo. No issues other than cross winds. Always wanted Venn rims for my Magnus and finally was able to get some. #1, braking performance stomps the Reynolds setup. No noise, superior braking in all conditions. #2, no difference in rolling, same setup of tape, tires and tubes. #3, slightly more road feel in the Venn rims and better stability in fast downhills. #4, better handling in crosswinds. Summery, a good purchase with no real loss and increased performance in stability and braking.

The Var 45 TCC wheels are a delight, and exactly what I expected. Quiet through the wind, and comfortably controllable in gusty crosswinds. Impressed. World class support from the team at Venn from the order through delivery.

Bought the Var 45mm carbon wheels and just come back from my third ride on them. Absolutely superb wheels. Great build quality, climbed better than my stock wheels, they pickup speed and they hold it really well.

Great set of wheels. Venn customer service provided honest/rapid feedback to my questions about compatibility. I wanted to make sure that the wheels where compatible with my 28mm tires. My Var 45 TCC has met my expectations in every way and communication on status of the order/shipping was very clear.
