The Baccara 48 are carbon rims suitable for road & competition use, Versatile on all types of roads, its internal width is 21mm for a height of 48mm.
Available for rim brakes or disc brakes.
SLR2 technology, weight reduced by 10%. This process also allows a better filtration of vibrations. The rim profile has been redesigned to improve its aerodynamics and stability in all wind conditions.
The outer width is increased to 27.6mm, has a new UV shape and reduces aerodynamic drag. The rim holes are off-centered (2mm offset), which allows to close more the spokes umbrella. This makes the rim more stable and increases the lateral stiffness of the wheel. The spoke tensions between the two layers are more balanced, which guarantees a better durability of the wheel. So more stiffness and more durability.
The wider 21mm hook width gives more volume to the tires and improves comfort and grip without losing performance.
Recommended tire widths are 25mm and 28mm, tubeless or tubetype. DUKE owns its manufacturing tools.
Technology
Since 2021, our carbon rims benefit from a unique finish: incomparable brilliance and reflections thanks to a new process called VFP without varnish. This, also and above all, makes them more environmentally friendly by drastically reducing VOC and carbon dust emissions compared with a traditional rim. Without varnish, the rim is also harder on the surface, and more resistant to scratches.
Our Tubeless compatible rims (UST, Tubeless Ready and Notubes), only require some Duke rim tape and a Tubeless-ready valve. They can also be used in a classic clincher set up (tyre & inner tube).
The SLR2 series for Road and Gravel is 15% lighter and more resistant than the sls version thanks to a completely new lay-up and a new resin which not only allow the same lateral rigidity to be maintained but also and above all to considerably improve the comfort, vibration filtering and rim performance. The SLR2 is manufactured in a sealed atmosphere and does not require any retouching when it comes out of the mould. No rework or varnish, the VFP gloss finish is ecological and exceptional!
We keep the hooks on all our gravel and road rims. As the pressures used are higher than in mountain bikes, the risk of the tire sliding off the rim is too high with hookless rims. What's more, for a given inside width, rims with hooks have a wider outer width than rims without hooks, which enhances the aerodynamics of the rim/tire assembly.
Thanks to the latest innovations and our research into composite material, we have been able to develop a unique process that maximizes compliance and absorbs vibrations. The result is an ultra-dynamic rim that filters out the imperfections of the terrain to be appreciated whatever the distance.
Rim offset increases lateral stiffness and wheel stability without adding weight. The rim holes are off-center, improving the spokes brace angles. By better balancing the tensions between the two spoke sides, the wheel's durability is enhanced.
The outer shape of the rim is designed to optimize air flow around the rim and reduce turbulence. This helps to make the wheels more stable and faster. The rims can accommodate a wide range of tire widths, the rims are aerodynamically optimized for a narrower range.
