The Valar DT56 and DT56D disc wheelsets are efficient lightweight carbon road wheels that bring premium-level performance to all riders. They are pro-level mid-profile aero road wheels that spin up quickly, roll fast, provide better power transfer, and superior braking control. Their weight and depth make them perfect for both climbing and long rides.
Elves frames paired with Valar DT Series wheelsets will provide you with a great advantage whether you’re sprinting towards the podium or racing against the clock! With more and more riders around the world using Elves frames, there was a growing demand for a pro-level wheelset to match their beloved frames. That’s why Elves engineers designed the Orome Valar DT Series wheelsets, featuring ultralight 45mm full carbon rims, DT Swiss 240S Ratchet EXP hubs, and Sapim CX-Ray spokes. This unbeatable and exciting combination delivers outstanding performance with no compromise.
The Valar DT56 and DT56D disc version rims are made from Toray T800 carbon fiber, with the rim carbon layup optimized by our engineers to provide stiffness where it’s most needed. Thinner prepregs were used for better control over the layup, resulting in the same wall thickness but with more layers and a lighter weight with better stiffness. The zero-coating design on the carbon products’ surface is a top-notch and difficult technology, which is becoming a trend for high-end carbon products. Only a few factories have mastered this technology. The zero-coating technology shows the fine fiber structure of the carbon rim, giving each wheel an individual touch and reducing the rim weight. Valar DT Series rims are made with zero-coating technology on marbling surface, saving about 15g per rim. However, we paint clear coating on 25% surface and leave the rest of the area as marbling carbon fiber, which we think looks more beautiful and different.
All Orome Valar rim braking wheels bring textured brake surface design, combined with our high-temperature resistant resin system, which enhances the rim’s overall durability and braking performance! The grooved track helps move water and debris more quickly out of the way between the brake pads and rim, and also provides additional edges that add friction, allowing the pad to better grip the braking surface. The high-temperature resistant resin construction ensures the track can withstand over 280°C, and paired with the grooved track, it can handle extreme temperatures and dissipate heat build-up away from the pads better.
It’s time to talk about the hubs and spokes. We developed the Orome Valar DT series wheels with DT Swiss hubs and Sapim spokes. These two brands are the leading experts in the wheel field, and they are professional and reliable. We believe no one would reject such excellent parts in their wheels! The Valar DT series assembled the latest generation of the DT 240 hub on both rim brake version and disc brake version. The latest 240S ratchet EXP freehub system increases the bearing lifetime thanks to the increased bearing distance. The new version of the end caps simplifies the tool-free disassembly and makes maintenance easier. The hollow-machined ratchets transfer the energy invested directly into acceleration thanks to the 36 teeth. The spokes of Valar DT series are Sapim CX-Ray, the best aerodynamic elliptic spoke, made of fatigue-resistant 18/8 stainless steel. Almost as light as titanium, they said the CX-Ray still receives one of the best results in fatigue testing of any spoke. Its unique strength and flexibility make the CX-Ray suitable for top-level bicycle wheels.
Tubeless compatible, all of Orome Valar wheels are tubeless compatible with bead seat retention, reinforced carbon hooks, and 19mm width internal rim bed ensuring a wider range of compatibility with tubeless tires from most manufacturers. Tubeless systems are designed to run at lower pressures than tube systems without any negative effects. A floor pump and the tubeless rim tape are needed for our wheels when you install the tubeless tire. We didn’t seal the spoke holes because our engineer thinks it will be easy to replace the spoke in some cases. If you’re not ready for tubeless, Valar wheels are also compatible with traditional clincher tires and tubes.
No matter where you go, the reliable and outstanding Orome Valar DT wheelset will provide you with a unique appearance and riding experience! And it’s a reliable partner for your next challenge and is bound to put a smile on your face the second your feet touch the pedals.
