Eurobike / Markt: The Italian wheel specialists from 3T are launching two completely new wheel series for the coming season, which will be called Discus and Orbis II. To celebrate, there will also be a special edition of the Orbis II C99 Team limited to 50 pieces.
In the coming season, 3T will come up trumps with two new wheel series. In addition to the complete Discus line, the time-honoured Orbis also gets its successor, which very pragmatically bears the name Orbis II. The 3T Orbis II and the 3T Discus are more similar than the name would suggest - the Discus are just the disc brake versions of the Orbis II wheels.
With the new wheels, 3T concentrates on five basic features that have one central goal: The wheelsets should be more all-round suitable.
- Wider rim profile for less rolling resistance and better puncture protection
- Optimized aerodynamic properties
- Linear+ System: Spokes run into the rim at a straight angle, resulting in higher stiffness, better durability and less spoke load
- Asymmetrical rims for more even spoke tension
- Compatible with all common axle systems thanks to simple plug-in adapters
3T Orbis II C50 Team Limited Edition
In order to offer its fans something special, there is a limited version of the 99T Orbis II C3 Team wheelset for the market launch of the new wheels. With decals in the Italian national colors and other nice details, which two employees from Hartje, the German distributor of 50T, bring us a little closer to in the following video.
