Absolute, our jewel

Moyeux RARSince our first handbuilt wheel, several years ago, until our latest creations on the website RouesArtisanales.com, we constantly searched the absolute optimization for a rider: his weight, his strength potential and his riding terrain.
Our RAR Absolute creation is the conclusion of this long term performance research. This creation, fruit of our experience is our jewel.
If our four standard creations, Svelt, Optimal, Magnum, Tempo do not suit you perfectly, because you are of a uncommon size/weight, or because you prefer a 100% custom wheel, we can offer you something unique, hand built with the best components.

Our selection of the best components were done on reliability, performance and availability criterions.
So we offer the RAR, Corima, Kinlin, and Edge Composites rims. The brands of hubs we trust are : RAR, Tune, DTSwiss, Powertap, while the spokes we offer are coming from DT Swiss: the DT Aerolite and DT Competition models, or from Pillar with its PST TB Aero 1422 (titanium). Depending on what you wish, your needs, your potential and weight, we will of course increase or decrease the number of spokes.
The nipples will be available in several different colors: red, blue, black, silver and gold.

The Absolute wheelbuilds, full custom, are only built on order. The prices are available through a sale quote.
