UV-Carbon Wheel Technology

AeroEdge Dynamics™

Description: Developed for ultimate speed and efficiency, AeroEdge Dynamics™ uses a refined U-shape rim profile to reduce aerodynamic drag while enhancing crosswind stability. Designed to slice through air on road, gravel, and mixed terrain, this profile gives riders the confidence to hold speed and line through ever-changing wind conditions.

UV Advantage: Increased aerodynamic efficiency with precise control in challenging wind environments, helping you go faster with less effort—especially when the wind picks a side.

GRAD-Guard™ Reinforced Carbon

Description: GRAD-Guard™ Reinforced Carbon technology fortifies each rim with a bespoke carbon layering process tailored for Gravel Road Adventure Dominance. Engineered to absorb harsh impacts without adding weight, GRAD-Guard delivers elite-level toughness and resilience across unpredictable terrain.

UV Advantage: Maximum durability and impact resistance across gravel and adventure conditions—without sacrificing climbing performance or acceleration.

VX36 Tri-Fuse™ Carbon Layup

Description: VX36 Tri-Fuse™ is Unbound Velo’s proprietary carbon layup system, developed through years of testing and feedback from elite riders. It uses two opposing 36° carbon fibre layers bonded with a pressure-fused internal core, then compressed between twin industrial rollers. This compression process eliminates all internal voids and creates a flawless carbon structure with exceptional strength-to-weight characteristics.

UV Advantage: A stiffer, smoother-riding rim with reduced weight, explosive energy transfer, and maximum resilience—ideal for riders who demand performance across every surface, in every condition.

QuickSeal BeadLock™

Description: QuickSeal BeadLock™ offers superior tubeless compatibility with built-in Advanced Tube support. The design ensures a precise airtight seal between tire and rim, eliminates fitment high points, and drastically reduces the risk of tire burping. Whether you prefer tubeless or need to pop in a tube on the go, BeadLock is built to make your life easier.

UV Advantage: Effortless tubeless and tube setup with exceptional bead retention and no out-of-round vibrations, so you can ride aggressively with confidence on road, gravel, or anything in between.

GhostThread™ Spoke Technology

Description: GhostThread™ is a next-generation spoke innovation exclusive to Unbound Velo. Crafted from ultra high-tensile carbon composite, these spokes are radically light, visually minimal, and fiercely strong under load. Engineered to disappear into the wheel silhouette while delivering elite-level torsional rigidity and responsive ride feel.

UV Advantage: Reduced rotational weight, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced stiffness—all with a signature look and ride feel that stands alone in the market.

MABR-X™ Ceramic Bearings

Description: MABR-X™ Ceramic Bearings are a race-day upgrade with an industrial soul. Sourced from outside the cycling industry and developed for high-torque, high-speed environments, they offer unmatched smoothness and longevity. Each unit features a custom mustard yellow outer seal—a subtle nod to their high-spec origins and unique performance pedigree.

UV Advantage: Smoother rolling, increased durability, and weight savings—giving you faster engagement, longer life, and a custom look that turns heads.

PrecisionFlex Steering Geometry™

Description: PrecisionFlex Steering Geometry™ brings road-race handling to gravel and adventure wheels. Through advanced spoke lacing patterns and precision hub interface tuning, we’ve engineered steering response that stays tight under load and intuitive at high speed. Whether cornering on gravel descents or diving into crit corners, PrecisionFlex keeps your line sharp and stable.

UV Advantage: Razor-sharp control and predictable feedback through technical corners, descents, and punchy accelerations—so you can corner with confidence and precision every time.

RTP Tensioning™ – RiderTuned Precision Tensioning

Description: RTP Tensioning™ is a rider-specific tuning protocol applied to every UV wheelset. By factoring in your weight, riding style, and intended use, we calibrate spoke tension to provide optimal ride feel, compliance, and responsiveness. It's part science, part art—and 100% custom.

UV Advantage: Dialled-in performance from the very first ride. RTP ensures your wheelset feels like it was built just for you—because it was.

UV GripZone™ Technology

Description: UV GripZone™ Technology is all about control where it matters most—cornering. The rim interface and internal structure are engineered to maximise tire retention and cornering confidence at high speed. Especially useful for crits, tight road descents, or fast gravel switchbacks where one wrong move can cost you the line—or the race.

UV Advantage: Maximum grip under lean, increased cornering control, and peace of mind at speed. GripZone lets you tip it in with full commitment.



Tip-In Ability: Unlocking Your Cornering Confidence

At Unbound Velo, we know that cornering is where the magic happens. It’s the moment you “tip it in”—leaning into a corner with just the right blend of speed, control, and finesse. Whether you're gliding smoothly through sweeping turns or attacking tight technical bends, your ability to corner with confidence defines your ride. That's why we've developed our unique Tip-In Ability scale—three levels of cornering prowess to help you find the perfect match for your riding style and wheelset choice.

From effortless flow to razor-sharp precision, each level offers insight into how you handle corners, empowering you to push your limits with confidence and control. So, which type of rider are you when it’s time to tip it in?


Flow Rider

Description: The "Flow Rider" is confident but composed, gliding smoothly through corners without pushing the absolute limits. Riders at this level enjoy controlled, fluid cornering and prioritise comfort over aggression. They may be newer to technical descents or simply prefer a more relaxed riding style, focusing on the experience and efficiency rather than maximum speed.

Tip-In Ability: You enjoy a stable, predictable ride and tend to ease into corners with a steady hand, relying on balance and control rather than pushing the limits of grip. Perfect for riders who want to feel at one with the road or gravel without the need for intense technical prowess.

2. CurveMaster

Description: The "CurveMaster" is skilled, confident, and poised when tipping it into corners. These riders are well-versed in managing speed and precision through tight bends and technical descents. They push themselves without going over the edge, feeling the bike’s response with every shift in weight and turn of the handlebars.

Tip-In Ability: You enjoy a more aggressive cornering style, tipping in with confidence and focusing on maximising speed while maintaining control. You push the limits of grip and control, but you know where your boundaries are, giving you the confidence to attack those fast, technical corners.

3. Apex Seeker

Description: For the fearless rider who thrives on precision and speed, the "Apex Seeker" is all about pushing the limits of cornering performance. These cyclists ride with razor-sharp focus, cutting through corners with precision, hitting every apex with confidence. They are skilled at finding the perfect line and rely on their wheelset's advanced handling to stay in control at high speeds.

Tip-In Ability: You live for the thrill of the sharpest corners and the fastest lines. You tip into corners with total assurance, pushing your bike and yourself to the absolute edge of performance. Maximum grip and control are essential to your riding style, and you demand the best from your wheels in high-speed, technical conditions.

These levels help customers easily identify their riding style, matching their choice of wheelset to the type of performance they want when tipping it in—whether they’re a "Flow Rider" enjoying a smooth descent or an "Apex Seeker" chasing the perfect line at top speed.
