Pro-Lite Paula

Paula
High Tension Wide Spoke Straight Pull Wheelset

The Paula wheel is one of a kind. Built with fully heat treated 4.5mm alloy spokes from Japan and oversize alloy nipples. With a low spoke count and very high tension, the wheel is almost 100% rigid. The straight pull spokes means that spokes flex less and drive you forwards with less energy loss. Perfect for the long hard climbs and really getting the power from your legs to the ground. Running super smooth Japanese EZO bearings with a low rolling resistance. Using two cross lacing on both sides, even with a low spoke count, we can keep the weight low and power transfer very high.
