At Thor Carbon, we know not every rider needs carbon spokes to go fast. Sometimes, it’s all about smart choices—like pairing world-class carbon rims with proven DT Swiss hubs and Sapim spokes. That’s where our Thor Absolute Road Wheelset comes in. Designed for serious road cyclists who want a noticeable performance upgrade without the extra fluff.
Premium carbon rims – pure, raw performance
Our Absolute rims are made from 100% Toray carbon—no shortcuts, no coatings. Straight from the mold, they boast a sleek satin finish that looks fast and rides even faster. With a 21 mm internal and 29 mm external width, these rims are made to optimize the profile of 25–32 mm tyres, giving you that perfect blend of comfort, rolling efficiency, and aerodynamic grip.
Built on legendary DT Swiss hubs
Choose your foundation: DT Swiss 350, 240, or 180—each known for ultra-smooth bearings, precise engagement, and long-lasting performance. With 24 spokes front and rear and Boost-compatible options, you get a wheelset that’s light, fast, and incredibly reliable.
Sapim spokes—race-proven and lightweight
We lace each wheelset by hand with premium Sapim spokes. The standard build includes Sapim Laser butted spokes: lightweight, strong, and trusted worldwide. Want that extra edge? Upgrade to CX-Ray aero spokes and cut another 15 g off the total weight. Every build includes black Sapim Secure Lock nipples to keep spoke tension locked in, even under the toughest conditions.
Seriously light, even at aero depths
We’re not into flashy marketing claims—we’re into real numbers. Here’s what to expect:
45 mm rim height + DT Swiss 350: approx. 1360 g
50 mm rim height + DT Swiss 350: approx. 1400 g
55 mm rim height + DT Swiss 350: approx. 1440 g
DT Swiss 240 upgrade: -35 g
DT Swiss 180 upgrade: -70 g
Tubeless-ready, all-out performance
Every wheelset is delivered with tubeless rim tape and stealth black tubeless valves installed. That means lower rolling resistance, improved puncture protection, and more grip in the corners—without the hassle.
This is the wheelset for riders who want world-class carbon performance, aerodynamic depth options, and a reliable build that just works—ride after ride, race after race.
At Thor Carbon, we don’t do generic. We do Absolute.
