*NEW* OROME VALAR CS50A 50mm Wave Carbon Disc Wheelset

Claimed weight 1310g ±15g per wheelset Frequently asked questions What is the benefit of the wave-profile rim?

The rim rises and falls in depth around the wheel rather than remaining constant. It is designed to retain the aerodynamic benefit of a deep rim while supporting more predictable handling when wind conditions change. Are Sapim CX-Ray spokes easy to replace?

Sapim CX-Ray spokes are widely used by wheel builders and bike shops around the world. They are generally easier to source and replace than proprietary carbon spokes, making the CS50A a practical option for regular riding and racing. How does the CS50A differ from the CS50D?

Both models use 50mm wave-profile Toray T800 carbon rims. The CS50A uses Sapim CX-Ray stainless-steel spokes and an aluminium-alloy freehub body, with a claimed weight of 1310g ±15g.

The higher-spec CS50D uses flat carbon spokes and a titanium-alloy freehub body, reducing its claimed weight to 1225g ±15g. The CS50A is the more practical choice if straightforward spoke replacement and servicing are important, while the CS50D prioritises the lowest possible weight and a stiffer carbon-spoke build. Which freehub option do I need?

Most Shimano road cassettes use Shimano HG, while SRAM road cassettes with a 10-tooth smallest sprocket generally require SRAM XDR. Shimano MSR is available for compatible Shimano setups. with your cassette or groupset details if you’re unsure.
