Miche Kleos RD 50mm Team Edition Tubeless Road Wheelset with Ceramic Bearings

The Miche Kleos RD 50mm Team Edition Tubeless Wheel is engineered for cyclists who demand peak performance and aerodynamic efficiency in every race. Combining advanced materials with precision engineering, this wheelset offers an exceptional blend of stiffness, responsiveness, and reduced rotational inertia, allowing you to accelerate faster and maintain speed with less effort. Its sleek design and innovative features make it a standout choice for road riders aiming to optimize their bike’s performance in diverse racing conditions.

At the heart of the Kleos RD 50 lies the Ergal 7075 T6 hubs, enhanced with Miche’s RR-C (Racing Replica Ceramic) technology developed in partnership with CeramicSpeed. These hubs incorporate double-shield ceramic bearings, fine-tuned for optimal lubrication, shield protection, and thrust bearing/ball ratio to ensure smooth rotation and long-lasting durability. The adjustable ring nuts on both front and rear hubs allow precise tuning for peak efficiency, ensuring a perfect fit and flawless performance on the road.

The aerodynamic profile is further refined by the Aero Blade fairing on the front wheel’s left flange, which reduces turbulence and enhances airflow. Complemented by double-thickness stainless steel spokes arranged in a crossed/radial 16+8 pattern with distinct aero sections tailored for front and rear wheels, this design is the result of extensive wind tunnel testing. The medium- and high-module Toray carbon fibre lamination creates a lightweight yet stiff rim, weighing just 1455g per wheelset, ideal for competitive riders seeking an edge in speed and handling.

Beyond performance, the Kleos RD 50 features a striking racing grey finish with a new graphic identity achieved through water transfer decals sealed by heat treatment. This technique eliminates imperfections and increases durability, ensuring your wheels look as good as they perform. Compatibility is broad with three available freewheel bodies—Shimano HG, Campagnolo (Classic and N3W), and SRAM XDR—crafted from Ergal 7075 T6 with a titanium three-nipple pawl carrier, making integration seamless with your existing setup.
