WORLD FIRST: TUBELESS

CORIMA is the first manufacturer to have launched carbon wheels for the cycling market.

The experience gained over 20 years and our constant efforts to improve performance has enabled us to make a technological leap: the fi rst road tubeless wheel in carbon fibre. At Hexcel Composites, our supplier partner for 30 years, we selected the most sophisticated carbon fabrics and resins for the industry and for the sporting sector.

A collaboration of more than 2 years with the Hutchinson tyre company was necessary to perfectly adapt the clincher rims to the tubeless tyres. A major challenge was to design the manufacturing process to ensure the perfect sealing of the rim. Today, we can provide all of the answers to meet the required technical specifications of the rim and provide an impressive list of features:

• Easy mounting of the tyre.
• Manual inflation of the tyre.
• The tyre will not separate from the rim up until a pressure 12 bar on a stationary wheel.
• Increased responsiveness of the wheel due to a lighter rim and tyre combination.
  The decrease in weight decreases the rotational inertia of acceleration when compared to a traditional rim and tyre.
• A standard tyre and inner tube can be used in case of a puncture.
• Improved resistance to heat build-up during braking.
• Tyre does not come off the rim in the case of a puncture.
