Our most popular ProMotion wheel is a great all round performer. At 1500 grams it is as light as most wheels out there. With its semi high profile welded rims it is aerodynamic, comfortable and rugged. The welded rim is really an important detail. Of course, we also machine the sidewall to produce a superior braking surface. Call us old-fashioned; we even use all brass nipples in our wheel building. This produces a wheel build that is far more durable and reliable.  We have chosen to use a typical style J spoke for our wheel setup. In a pinch you can use a readily available double-butted spoke until we can get you a replacement spoke. Anyone who has had to replace a spoke during a race will let you know very quickly how troublesome the exotic spokes are in everyday use. Just try and find a spoke wrench that works on those Aluminum spokes. The wheels however are very strong and very light. Our spokes are twin forged double-butted aero spokes that fit through regular spoke holes. We do not know of a stainless spoke out there that is lighter or stronger. Our wheels are all hand built, hand tensioned and hand tuned. This wheel has a suggested retail price of $499.

All our wheels are hand built, hand tensioned and hand trued by our master mechanic Theo Van Tol.  Each wheel has actual* weight listed with serial number and builder’s signature. * Weights for individual wheels will vary.

Reasons Why:
We use standard J spokes because they can be replaced anywhere. Also cost of hubs is much less when standard spoke setups are employed. Standard flanges have also the longest track records. When a spoke breaks with this setup a standard straight-gauged spoke can be used until we can get you a replacement spoke. We also avoid twinned spokes, no noodle like composite materials or quirky double-threaded spokes. No special training required to replace spokes or to true a wheel. We use brass nipples because they make stronger wheels and avoid the spontaneous aluminum weld that can happen over time and can ruin your wheels. The high spoke tension allows the use of fewer spokes. Our rear hubs can accept the latest Shimano® and Campagnolo® cassettes, allowing the use of your favourite component group. We actually ask our wheel builder what he thinks makes for a better wheel.

Scarcity:
There have been only 130 sets of these wheels built. We are working on a new version of this wheel set so when they are gone they are gone for good. Until December 30 we will offer free with these wheels our Titanium Quick Release Skewers, 85 grams, a $49 value and free ground shipping in North America. Do not miss out on these wheels.  We do not think there is a better value out there.

Enthusiasm:
We are excited that we can offer you these 1500-gram wheels for less than $500. If you are anything like us, you want a pair of Ksyriums® but just cannot afford them. This is our best current attempt to give you great wheels at modest pricing.

Telling the Truth:
Here at Kult Bike we desire to build bike products that provide the end consumer with best balance of performance and value. Our simple measure of success; Is this product Durable, Affordable and Light? It has to work, I have to be able to buy it and it needs to be light.
