Product Info Page: https://www.ascent-bikes.com/polaris

If you want a mixed depth wheelset, here's your chance!

Leading the way for wheels that inspire confidence, the Polaris 69mm and 42mm are all-condition road wheels that give you the confidence to tackle challenging climbs, windy descents, while blasting past your competition. The front 42mm keeps you steady even in the most challenging conditions, while the rear 69mm provides aerodynamic benefits and plenty of comfort to tackle rougher terrain.

OMNIBALANCE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Building upon the experience gained from the Polaris 69, the Polaris 42 is built upon our Omnibalance Design Philosophy, which states that in addition to aerodynamics, steering stability, traction, comfort, and responsiveness are important factors in improving a rider’s confidence.

NO-HOLDS-BARRED

The Polaris family is the product of thousands of hours of computational fluid dynamic analysis, with steering stability under adverse wind conditions as a priority. To maximize comfort and cornering performance, we chose a generous internal width of 23mm, perfect for 28mm tires. In order to maximize responsiveness, we use ultra-high-modulus carbon fibers and have optimized the carbon lay-up to reduce rim weight where appropriate, resulting in a wheelset that weighs just 1450g with DT Swiss 240 hubs.

HAND-BUILT IN SINGAPORE

Every Polaris wheel is expertly hand-built in Singapore by our partner, BuiltWheels. By hand-tuning the tension and dishing, we ensure that your wheels track straight, and that they will go the distance for you.

LIFETIME WARRANTY AND PARTS CRASH REPLACEMENT

All Polaris wheels come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, and parts crash replacement for the original owner. If you are involved in a crash that makes the wheels unrideable, we will provide the replacement parts at no charge - you only have to pay for shipping and labor. This way, you’ll be riding and racing with confidence, knowing that we have your back.
