cento 62c

For cyclists chasing every single watt, the Cento 62 are designed for pure speed. Developed through CFD analysis and wind tunnel testing, these deep-section wheels maximize aerodynamic efficiency in real-world racing conditions, keeping the total weight to an ultra-competitive 1465g.

The hub
01

the hub

Engineered to manage the high torsional loads typical of deep aerodynamic profiles, the wheel features a 21-spoke 2:1 lacing pattern. This configuration perfectly balances spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides, drastically increasing lateral stiffness while reducing fatigue stress on the components.
Aero efficiency
02

aero efficiency

The deep U-shape profile is engineered to minimize aerodynamic drag while maintaining flawless handling and stability in challenging crosswinds. This exceptional aerodynamic efficiency has been scientifically validated in the wind tunnel of the prestigious Tour Magazine, where the wheel delivered class-leading performance, proving outstanding results in both drag reduction and wind-angle management. Designed with a hooked rim profile for maximum safety, it is tubeless-ready and arrives ready to ride with tubeless tape and valve pre-installed.
Wind tunnel validation
03

wind tunnel validation

Extensive wind tunnel testing conducted at the GST facility following rigorous TOUR Magazine protocols—using a moving-leg dummy at 45 km/h with 41 individual yaw-angle measurements—demonstrates that the Columbus Cento 62C delivers class-leading aerodynamic performance. Engineered to minimize drag across a complete range of wind conditions, the 62mm deep-section rim consistently outperformed industry-standard reference wheelsets in both drag reduction and rotational efficiency. Furthermore, the deep U-shape profile effectively stabilizes air flow, maintaining a smooth steering torque curve to prevent aerodynamic stalling and ensuring outstanding, predictable handling stability even in challenging crosswinds.
Aero spokes
04

aero spokes

Sharing the same high-end Columbus HUB with ceramic bearings as the Cento 50, but with stiffer and more aero VONOA ST carbon spokes, this model focuses on maintaining momentum at high speeds.
Reliability
05

reliability

The hooked rim profile guarantees maximum safety and ETRTO tire compatibility. This setup combines absolute mechanical reliability with the aerodynamic advantages of modern tubeless systems, even at higher pressures.
