DUKE RIM STRADA 48

Strada 48 is DUKE’s pure performance road wheelset: designed for fast riders who want to raise their average speed without giving up precise, confidence-inspiring handling.

Positioned above the climbing-oriented profiles, it delivers a clear aerodynamic gain while keeping weight low enough to remain highly effective on rolling and undulating terrain. As a full pair or in a 48 front / 56 rear configuration, it provides an ideal platform for racers and KOM chasers.

Its 48 mm profile maximises cruising speed and improves airflow through the wheel. Carefully calibrated inertia offers sharp accelerations, reassuring stability at high speed and consistently precise behaviour when the pace changes.

Born from the SLR5 process, Strada 48 combines Toray T1100 fibres, aerospace-grade resin and a highly precise layup to deliver a top-tier balance of weight, stiffness and reliability.

DRC (Dynamic Response Comfort) optimises vertical support and steering precision by filtering vibrations without dulling power transfer. Moulded spoke holes (SpokeCore) ensure a homogeneous, durable structure.

The asymmetric lacing (Offset) balances spoke tensions between drive and non-drive sides, further improving lateral stiffness and long-term reliability without adding weight.

With its 25 mm internal width, Strada 48 delivers its full potential with a 30 mm tyre, allowing you to reduce pressure for extra grip and comfort, without compromising efficiency.

Built to ride fast for long periods and to attack whenever the road opens up, Strada 48 is the wheelset of choice for riders aiming at pure performance – on its own or paired with Strada 56.
