The Elemental™ series from Wheelscience has been developed with one thing in mind.  Uncompromising performance in all conditions. From the cutting edge, race-proven U-Tech™ rim to the incorporation of ceramic bearings as standard in the wheel, nothing has been left to chance.

Wheelscience is a sister business to Performance Multisport Australia, with common ownership.  It was founded in Melbourne, in 2013.

The U-Tech™ rim performs incredibly well at all wind angles, the varying 25-27mm rim profile (28-29.5mm in the Elemental X wheels) ensures the best possible handling and lowest possible drag at higher yaw angles. 

Our unique carbon layup means our rims are incredibly strong, so we can put our spokes under higher tensions, meaning stiffer, stronger wheels.  This translates into greater power transfer to the road from the rear wheel and amazingly responsive handling from the front. Our wheels will never flex and cause annoying brake rub under acceleration.

At the heart of the wheel is the hub.  The standard Elemental™ Wheelscience hub mixes simplicity with high-end performance.  A freehub that gives almost instant engagement and hybrid ceramic bearings (ceramic balls matched with vacuum-degassed alloy races) give very low rolling resistance and incredibly long life.  Our hubs are fully serviceable. We use a 20/24 spoke count for the perfect balance of strength and weight on our standard rim hubs, and 24/24 on our disc brake hubs.

Performance Data

Rather than presenting modeled or theoretical data about the benefits our wheels can give you, we took a different approach. We took ourselves and our Elemental wheels to the DISC Velodrome in Melbourne, Australia for the day. We tested our wheels in the real world using the Alphamantis aero testing system (Acquired by Garmin and rebranded Track Aero System).

The system collected data from repeated rides by our testers using various wheel combinations. From the identified watts saved (compared to a standard wheel), we were able to calculate the real savings our wheels can give you over various distances. Note that we tested at around 35kph (22mph), meaning our number represents real achievable results, not just some theoretical benchmark.

We can also translate this data into watts saved. It is worth noting that the power saved will vary with speed. At higher speeds drag is a larger proportion of total power used, so aerodynamic watt savings become higher.

 

Data was gathered using multiple riders with standard tyres (Conti GP4000s II), standard tubes (Butyl) at a standard tyre pressure of 100psi.

Savings valid (plus or minus 5%) for rider holding a constant power at 35-37kph.
