Real Speed RS-5 Track Disc Wheel

SKU: 210000028524
Regular price $2,299.00

Built for the boards, engineered for the finish line. The RS-5 is Realspeed's flagship front track wheel — a full carbon, 5-spoke design refined through extensive CFD (computational fluid dynamics) modeling to deliver razor-sharp aerodynamic efficiency without sacrificing the stiffness and stability demanded by elite track sprinting and pursuit events.

Built for sprinters, pursuiters, and team pursuit squads who demand an edge where hundredths of a second decide podiums. The RS-5 front wheel is the choice for riders who refuse to leave performance on the table.

ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT

At just 798 grams, the RS-5 minimizes rotational mass — translating directly into faster acceleration out of the gate and quicker response through every effort on the boards. The full carbon monocoque layup is engineered for maximal stiffness-to-weight ratio, so every watt you put into the pedals becomes forward motion.

CFD-OPTIMIZED AERODYNAMICS

Every curve of the 5-spoke blade profile has been shaped and validated using computational fluid dynamics software, reducing drag across a range of yaw angles for consistent, predictable handling at velodrome speeds. The 55mm depth profile strikes the balance between aerodynamic gain and rider control, while the wide 21mm rim pairs seamlessly with today's high-performance track tubulars.

UCI COMPLIANT

Meets all UCI technical regulations for wheel design, making the RS-5 race-ready for sanctioned track competition at every level — from national championships to World Cup events. Pair it with the RS-D rear disc for a complete, aerodynamically optimized track setup.
