Ethic Atlas 12STD 115 Wheel Raw

 Ethic Atlas Wheels: Defining the limits of innovation
 
Atlas wheels are built with a single ambition: to revolutionize the wheel industry and set a new standard for mechanical optimization. These wheels are designed to be as light as possible while maintaining uncompromising strength, representing the culmination of meticulous research and engineering.
 
A comprehensive optimization process was carried out to achieve the ideal balance between the number of spokes, thickness, and advanced technologies. For the first time outside of the ultra-premium Black Pearl wheels (Ethic’s sister brand), the Atlas wheel cores were manufactured via full CNC machining from 7075-T6 aluminum - a groundbreaking step in wheel production.
 
To further enhance performance, the PU molding tools were completely redesigned to achieve a unique PU profile tailored exclusively for Atlas wheels. This innovation delivers exceptional lightness and unparalleled comfort. The 12STD variants feature a softer 85A rubber compound, resulting in unique contact properties for the 12STD wheels, which in turn provide a smoother and more responsive ride.
 
Atlas wheels also debut a new type of 12STD bearings: 6901. Compared to 6001 bearings, these are significantly lighter while offering strength comparable to 608 bearings, all while leveraging the benefits of 12mm axles. This breakthrough optimizes weight distribution and peripheral stress management, setting a new benchmark for wheel performance.
 
Key improvements (compared to Ethic Incube V2 12STD 115mm wheels):

20% lighter (-55g): The lightest 30mm wide wheel in the world by a significant margin.

Increased strength: Wheels developed for increased durability without increasing the weight of the wheels

Improved PU shape: Wheels designed for superior performance and comfort

Softer PU (85A): Improved grip and smoothness of the ride.

7075-T6 aluminum construction: Aircraft-grade material for the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio.
 
Atlas wheels push the boundaries of innovation, offering riders the perfect balance of lightness, strength, and performance.
