It takes a lot of technical expertise and determination to develop a lightweight wheel which stands up to the rigours of use on a vehicle. Over the past 15 years, Carbon Revolution has solved the challenges of making automotive carbon fibre wheel work:
- Attaching the wheel to the vehicle so it can never come off while in use, but can be removed when required;
- Ensuring air is held in the wheel cavity which is subject to extreme impact and fatigue loads;
- Protecting the wheel body from damage, due to heat from the brake system;
- Ensuring paint sticks to the wheel for the life of the vehicle, even when exposed to UV.
Carbon Revolution wheels overcome all of these challenges, and weigh up to 40-50% less than an aluminium wheel, which has been achieved through incorporating the Company’s proprietary technologies.
