WHEELS: Rolf® Prima Roubaix Front Wheel
Our Rolf® Prima Accel™ wheels have earned a well-deserved reputation for being the lightest, fastest, and strongest 20" wheels on the market. But an ultra stiff and strong wheel paired with a stiff frame and high pressure race tires can add up to a harsh ride on uneven roads. We were forced to think far outside the box to solve this problem. Our final solution was a Rolf® Prima wheel mated to an ingenious, custom-built, suspension hub. The hub provides 10mm of butter-smooth travel.

We call our new wheel the Rolf® Prima Roubaix, for its ability to effortlessly soak up vibrations and chatter on less than perfect roads. Cornering is also improved as the hub enhances ground contact. Best of all, the wheel still weighs a feathery 510 grams. A Dahon exclusive.
