“The FIVE is a class leading road wheel, engineered to perfection with striking aesthetics. It is a tubeless compatible, disc-brake only clincher wheelset and a true all rounder. FIVE is ideally suited to long days in the saddle, whether heading up a mountain climb or when the going gets fast on the tarmac.

Our engineers have validated the wheel’s performance in Black Inc’s own CFD and FEA models ensuring exceptional aerodynamics and strength based on real world road conditions,” adds the brand.
