This Spengle three-spoke wheel was an absolute eye-catcher - and when it was mounted on a Kestrel frame, the owner was guaranteed a grand entrance. Now Spengle is catching up with the big new edition and investing in the latest technology in development and production.

The bike is constructed from carbon in a monocoque design, which means that the entire wheel consists of just one part. When forces act on the wheel, they should be evenly distributed and absorbed across the entire wheel thanks to the carbon fiber. There should therefore be no individual points on the wheel that tend to bend or break - even under extreme loads. This allows the rider to concentrate fully on the ride and not have to worry about their bike.

Spengle only chooses 27.5 inches for the dimensions, the inner width of the rim measures 24 millimetres and the rim flank is hookless. No rim tape is required for simple tubeless mounting, as there are no spoke holes, the wheel is virtually tubeless-ready. Spengle doesn't skimp on the warranty and sells the wheel with a lifetime guarantee. The dropouts are also customer-friendly, with adapters for boost and non-boost, thru-bolts and quick-releases. In terms of weight, a wheelset weighs around 1750 grams.

Naked - or ready to go

When it comes to sales, Spengle relies on the direct route to the customer. On the website, you can buy the wheel in a "naked" version or in a "plug and play" version. With the latter, the installation width and axle version can be selected and the wheel can be ordered with matching tires, brake disc and Shimano cassette. If the bike does not fit, there is a 30-day right of return.
