CENTO WHEELS 62

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.

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.

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.
