340 g of controlled aero speed. Strada 56 is our Elite carbon road rim for high-speed riding, designed to maintain high average speeds on rolling and flat terrain, especially as a rear wheel paired with a Strada 48 front.
The fastest rim in the Strada family, it offers a noticeable aerodynamic gain (before moving up to the Strada Æra range) while remaining surprisingly effective on hilly terrain.
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 rim that is light for its depth, ideal for rolling courses, long distances and sustained high-speed pacing.
* Compatible with 28 mm and wider tyres.
Strada 56 is the fastest wheelset in the Strada range: a high-profile design developed for sustained speed, while keeping remarkably low weight for a 56 mm rim.
It is aimed at riders who like to ride fast for long periods, getting the most out of every rolling section.
Positioned as the last step before the Æra range and its CFD-optimised micro-profiles, it carries the same performance-driven spirit while remaining more direct and accessible.
Its 56 mm profile provides a clear aerodynamic advantage while retaining precise handling and controlled inertia. On the flat, it excels; on rolling terrain, it remains fully effective – a rare quality in this depth category.
Built on the SLR5 process, Strada 56 combines Toray T1100 fibres, aerospace-grade resin and a high-precision layup to deliver a weight / stiffness / reliability ratio worthy of DUKE’s top-tier standards.
DRC (Dynamic Response Comfort) optimises vertical comfort and handling stability by filtering vibrations without dulling power transfer. Moulded spoke holes (SpokeCore) guarantee a homogeneous, durable structure. The asymmetric lacing (Offset) balances spoke tension between both sides, increasing lateral stiffness and long-term strength without adding unnecessary mass.
With its 25 mm internal width, Strada 56 works perfectly with a 30 mm tyre, allowing lower pressures for better grip and comfort while preserving rolling efficiency.
Used as a complete wheelset or in a 48/56 combo, Strada 56 delivers sustained speed, remarkable stability and controlled handling – the very definition of accessible high-speed performance before stepping into the Æra universe.
