Carbon Core, Rim Brake Soul: RUJIXU Launches Ultralight V-Brake Wheelset for the Purists

2026-01-09

In the age of disc brakes, the classic V-brake system, beloved for its minimalist weight and pure feel, still commands a devoted following. RUJIXU unveils a groundbreaking road wheelset, introducing a carbon fiber hub to the high-performance V-brake platform for the first time. With a total weight of approximately 1890 grams (40mm depth), it delivers a thoroughly modern performance experience to rim-brake enthusiasts.

Tech Insight: The Carbon Hub Advantage

The weight of traditional metal hubs has long been a limiting factor for V-brake wheels. The carbon fiber hub brings two key breakthroughs:

Rotational Weight Savings: Significant weight reduction at the rotating hub core most noticeably improves acceleration and liveliness.
Optimized Stiffness: Carbon allows for precise engineering. The hub shell structure can be optimized for drive-side stiffness, which, combined with the 16F/21R asymmetric lacing, ensures high power transfer efficiency while maintaining proper non-drive-side spoke tension.

Key Features:

Hybrid Construction: Ultralight alloy rim + carbon fiber hub + Taiwan HT flat spokes = a new-gen V-brake solution.
Classic Meets Current: V-brake compatibility for classic frames; 16mm internal width and HG 7-12 speed freehub support modern tires and drivetrains.
Tire Versatility: Optimized for tires from 23C to 32C, covering racing to endurance riding.
