Realspeed RS-5

Built for the boards, engineered for the finish line. The RS-5 is Realspeed's flagship front track wheel — a full carbon, 5-spoke design refined through extensive CFD (computational fluid dynamics) modeling to deliver razor-sharp aerodynamic efficiency without sacrificing the stiffness and stability demanded by elite track sprinting and pursuit events.Ultra-Lightweight Construction — At just 798 grams, the RS-5 minimizes rotational mass, translating directly into faster acceleration out of the gate and quicker response through every effort on the boards.CFD-Optimized Aerodynamics — Every curve of the 5-spoke blade profile has been shaped and validated using computational fluid dynamics software, reducing drag across a range of yaw angles for consistent, predictable handling at velodrome speeds.55mm Depth Profile — Strikes the balance between aerodynamic gain and rider control, cutting through the air with minimal turbulence while remaining stable and confidence-inspiring at high speed.21mm Rim Width — A wide, modern profile that pairs seamlessly with today's high-performance track tubulars, improving tire interface, cornering feel, and overall power transfer.Full Carbon Monocoque Layup — Engineered for maximal stiffness-to-weight ratio, ensuring every watt you put into the pedals is translated into forward motion — critical in the explosive, high-torque demands of track racing.UCI Compliant — Meets all UCI technical regulations for wheel design, making the RS-5 race-ready for sanctioned track competition at every level, from national championships to World Cup events.Built for: Sprinters, pursuiters, and team pursuit squads who demand an edge where hundredths of a second decide podiums. Max rider weight 285 lbs / 129 kg.Pair with the RS-D rear disc for a complete, aerodynamically optimized track setup.
