Boyd Cycling is expanding its reach to UK and EU riders with the launch of its new US-made Podium 36mm Carbon Disc SL wheelset. This cutting-edge wheelset is designed to be a one-stop solution for modern road and all-road cyclists, offering a blend of performance and durability. With a rich history dating back to 2009, Boyd has maintained its manufacturing roots in the USA, and this expansion marks a significant leap forward in its in-house production capabilities. The brand's commitment to quality and innovation is evident in the Podium 36mm Carbon Disc SL, which features a sleek carbon fibre rim construction. The 36mm rim depth and 24mm internal width are perfectly tailored for 28-38mm tyres, ensuring optimal performance and stability. Boyd's use of aerospace-grade T1000 carbon fibre in high-stress zones, combined with strategically placed high-modulus carbon fibres, results in exceptional impact resistance, surpassing the UCI's requirement by over 2.5 times. This advanced construction technique is further enhanced by multi-angle spoke hole reinforcement, which distributes spoke tension forces across multiple directions, enabling higher and more stable spoke tension without adding unnecessary mass. The Podium 36mm Carbon Disc SL wheels are equipped with Grade 54 hub platforms, boasting a 6.6° engagement. The hubs, weighing 85g for the front and 185g for the rear, are fitted with Enduro ABEC-5 bearings, ensuring smooth rolling performance and longevity. These wheels are priced at £1,860 / $2,100 / €2,150, offering exceptional value for those seeking top-tier performance and reliability.
