305 g of all-round versatility. Strada 42 is our Elite carbon road rim for rolling terrain, with a first level of aero performance and excellent stability in crosswinds.
At the centre of the Strada range, it combines reactivity, efficiency and comfort for performance riders and demanding enthusiasts who want a rim that works in every situation.
Key processes & technologies:
• 25 mm internal width, optimised for 28–30 mm tyres*
• SLR5: advanced layup of Toray T1100 carbon fibres and aerospace-grade resin
• SpokeCore: moulded spoke holes (24h) for a more homogeneous structure
• VFP: clearcoat-free finish, more durable and more environmentally friendly
• DRC: vibration filtering for increased comfort and precision
• Offset: asymmetric lacing for more balanced spoke tension and improved lateral stiffness and long-term reliability
• Hooked / Tubeless Ready: optimum safety and compatibility with modern tyres
Result:
A fast, stable and versatile road rim, designed to maximise your efficiency on rolling courses, long rides and hard sprints.
* Compatible with 28 mm and wider tyres.
Strada 42 is DUKE’s go-to all-round road wheelset: the perfect balance point between the liveliness of climbing profiles and the stability of a mid-depth aero rim.
Placed at the heart of the Strada family, it is aimed at both performance-oriented riders and demanding enthusiasts who want a wheelset that performs in every scenario.
Its 42 mm profile marks the transition towards aerodynamic performance, offering higher efficiency on rolling terrain and a particularly smooth response when accelerating. Its design delivers excellent stability in crosswinds, letting you maintain precision and control even as speed increases.
Born from the SLR5 process – derived from our benchmark SLS5 MTB technology – Strada 42 combines Toray T1100 fibres, aerospace-grade resin and an ultra-precise layup to achieve a high-level weight / stiffness / durability ratio.
DRC (Dynamic Response Comfort) improves vertical compliance and optimises power transfer, providing a more comfortable, more stable and more efficient ride over long distances.
Moulded spoke holes (SpokeCore) guarantee a homogeneous, durable structure.
The asymmetric lacing (Offset) further enhances spoke tension balance and lateral stiffness without adding weight, contributing to precise, predictable handling.
With its 25 mm internal width, Strada 42 offers an ideal tyre volume – especially with a 30 mm tyre – allowing lower pressures for more grip and comfort, without compromising efficiency.
Fast, stable and intuitive, Strada 42 redefines versatility: the ideal wheelset for rolling routes, long days on the bike and committed sprints.
