Aerodynamics - The Shape of Speed

Flash-Point wheels are born from the lessons learned while winning grand tours, world time trial championships and Ironman World Championships. And that speed is all yours to enjoy on each and every ride.

The secret to this speed is our parent-company's multi-patented “Hybrid-Torodial” rim shape. As you can see from the illustration, it's an evolution far beyond the standard “V” shaped rim other companies use and it further improves the rim's ability to recapture airflow pushed out of the way by the blunt shape of the tire. Regenerating the separated airflow coming off the tire reduces the aerodynamic drag of the wheels to squeeze that much more speed out of your engine - or, conversely, conserve that much more energy while maintaining your regular speed.

What's more, the bulge shape actually minimizes the wheel's sensitivity to cross winds so you gain the aerodynamic advantages of a deep-dish wheel without sacrificing handling in cross winds.
