Partington R-Series MKII 39/44 Wheelset
Utilizing proprietary technologies and construction. Partington wheels are now the lightest and stiffest clincher wheelset in the world. Available via a global network of retail partners and premium OEM brands, as well as brand direct in Australia.
INTRODUCING R-SERIES MKII
The Partington R-Series MKII 39/44 Wheelset is the result of two years of focused and intense development, combining the latest in carbon materials design and manufacture to achieve a wheel that is the lightest in its class today.
The new MKII R-series is the ultimate performance road wheel for training and competition. With the highest lateral stiffness (~55/mm) in its class, the MKII delivers exceptional ride comfort and responsiveness for the discerning rider.
IN-TENSION SPOKE TECHNOLOGY
Partington spokes are produced using a highly guarded, proprietary manufacturing process. 108,000 continuous filaments carry the tension of the spoke as it exits the rim, wraps around the hub, and terminates back at the rim – maintaining load throughout, and minimizing stresses at the spoke-to-hub junction.
DYNAMIC BEARING ARCHITECTURE
Conventional wheels use bearing arrangements that are often subjected to adverse loads due to use conditions and/or installation arrangements that slow the wheel down. pcc uses a ‘floating’ bearing architecture to ensure there are sufficient Degrees of Freedom such that loads transferred internal to the bearing are minimized and idealized.
COMPOSITE WHEEL SYSTEM
A high-performance wheel is a system of components that are designed in unison, highly integrated and optimized to work together. Partington's proprietary manufacturing methods produce a completely Integrated Wheel System to produce the world's best performing wheelset.
