The RS-R402 is a high-performance wheelset engineered for road cyclists seeking precision, aerodynamics, and long-lasting reliability. Designed with advanced materials and modern compatibility, it delivers exceptional balance between speed, stiffness, and control — whether for competitive riding or endurance training.
Rim & Construction
-
Material: AL7005 aluminum alloy
-
Design: Double-wall structure with reinforced rim walls for increased torsional rigidity and impact resistance
-
Profile: 36mm aerodynamic depth for optimized air flow and straight-line stability
-
Internal Width: 21mm — ideal for modern road tires (25–32mm)
-
Finish: Matte black anodized surface with high-quality RS-UV black/red decals
-
Valve Type: FV (Presta)
-
Diameter: 700C
This combination ensures a lightweight yet durable platform that maintains lateral stiffness during sprints, climbs, and descents.
Hub System
-
Brand / Type: RS precision-machined aluminum alloy hubs
-
Bearings: Sealed cartridge system (2 front, 4 rear) for smooth and maintenance-free rolling
-
Freehub: Slotted-drum tower compatible with 8–12 speed cassettes (Shimano/SRAM type)
-
Axle Options:
-
Brake Interface: Available in both Disc Brake and Rim Brake versions
The precision-machined hubs deliver excellent rolling efficiency and protection from dust, mud, and water — ideal for long-distance performance.
Spokes & Lacing
-
Type: High-rigidity stainless steel spokes
-
Gauge: 14G (2.0mm)
-
Head Type: Bent-head
-
Count: 24 front / 24 rear
-
Pattern: Cross-laced pattern for optimal power transfer and lateral stability
The spoke tension is balanced to minimize deformation under load and to maintain long-term trueness of the wheel.
Performance & Weight
-
Weight (Disc Brake version): Approx. 1.93kg (pair)
-
Weight (Rim Brake version): Approx. 1.83kg (pair)
-
Riding Type: Road, endurance, and training use
-
Recommended Tire Width: 25C–32C
-
Speed Compatibility: 8–12 speeds
Thanks to its optimized alloy construction and hub precision, the RS-R402 achieves an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio that enhances acceleration, efficiency, and cornering control.
