AeroCoach AEOX® ESTOC tubular carbon track 4 spoke wheel

The AEOX® Estoc wheel uses the world's first asymmetric aerodynamic rim shape for velodrome usage, resulting in the fastest non-disc tubular front wheel in an environment where tiny margins make the difference between silver and gold.

DEVELOPMENT

The Estoc wheel features 4 deep bladed spokes integrated into an asymmetric rim. Nearly 2 years of development, prototyping and testing has enabled us to design a rim shape which not only performs well on the straights, but also on the bankings.

As the rider and bike move through the bankings, they experience angular airflow. Due to the lean angle of the rider, they subsequently experience yaw (and pitch) angles. The yaw angle can reach up to ~5deg in some instances, but the most common angles experienced overall are -1 to +3deg, and it is these angles that the AEOX® Estoc has been optimised for. See our data below for a comparison with other wheels.

DATA

This graph gives a comparison between the AEOX® Estoc and other spoked and composite spoked wheels.

The Estoc tubular is close in aero performance to the Estoc clincher, but is slightly lighter. You can choose either the Estoc tubular or Estoc clincher and know that there is nothing faster.

USAGE

AEOX® Estoc wheels are ideal for bunch riding, individual sprint events and individual timed events alike.

TUBULAR FITTING

AEOX® Estoc wheels are designed for tubular tyres of 22-26mm width. Tubular tyres should be glued on by a professional cycling mechanic. We recommend the use of 23mm FMB/AeroCoach Pista Ultra and Pista Gold tyres, as well as Vittoria Pista Speed/Oro tyres. Please see our track rolling resistance data here for further information.

UCI LEGALITY

The AEOX® Estoc 4 spoke wheel is UCI legal.
