Designed, developed, tested, manufactured and hand-assembled in Geelong, Australia, it combines titanium hardware and ratchet components with ceramic bearings for consistent performance and a distinctive ride quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePartington’s \u003cstrong\u003ePerformance is a System\u003c\/strong\u003e approach means the rim, hub, spokes and bearings are engineered to work together. The Performance Ti specification saves approximately 25 g compared with the corresponding Performance depth while retaining the same serviceable spoke architecture and modern aerodynamic rim shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePartington R-Series Performance Ti technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAERON carbon-fibre rims\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe proprietary 50 mm and 65 mm AERON profiles were refined through computational fluid dynamics and testing at the South Australian Institute of Sport wind tunnel. Both depths measure 23 mm internally and 34 mm externally. The hooked, two-way-compatible rim is tubeless-ready and uses a sealed bed, so rim tape is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePERFORM hubs with ceramic bearings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black-anodized PERFORM hubs were developed with finite-element analysis to reduce mass while preserving stiffness and power transfer. Their floating-bearing architecture reduces unwanted axial bearing loads. The rear hub uses a needle-roller-bearing architecture and a 68-tooth face ratchet with helical-spline engagement. Performance Ti adds ceramic bearings and a titanium ratchet system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFLEXON replaceable carbon spokes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFLEXON spokes use continuous Toray intermediate-modulus, high-tensile-strength carbon fibres. Their aerodynamic cross-section is designed to reduce drag while maintaining lateral and torsional stiffness. A serviceable spoke-to-rim and spoke-to-hub interface allows individual spokes to be replaced and the wheel to be precisely trued. Performance Ti wheelsets use titanium spoke pins and inserts, with 18 spokes at the front and 21 at the rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoose your rim depth\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e50\/50:\u003c\/strong\u003e The lightest configuration at approximately 1,175 g.
