  • RAR AURA: Revolutionary Innovation

    Innovation Beyond Limits

    Marking two decades of excellence, RAR unveils AURA, an ultra-lightweight wheel that redefines power transfer with exclusive high-modulus carbon-titanium hybrid spokes, 300% stronger than the finest stainless steel.

    This groundbreaking construction drastically reduces weight, amplifies efficiency, and maximises comfort by filtering vibrations.

    Available in tubular or clincher-tubeless versions, with a 24mm profile for agile climbing, a 40mm profile for versatile circuits, and a 52mm profile for aerodynamic speed on rolling courses, AURA propels competitors to absolute performance.

    True to its pioneering spirit, RAR opens new horizons for bold enthusiasts.

    Mastery of Exceptional Materials

    At the core of AURA lies a technological breakthrough: slender hybrid spokes, weighing just 2g each, with optimised titanium-carbon bonding for unmatched stiffness and aerodynamics.

    ESO V2 UL+ hubs, crafted from aerospace-grade 7075T6 alloy and refined through finite element analysis for asymmetric machining, weigh only 78g front and 178g rear.

    Dual-core M46J composite rims structure the walls with high-modulus fibres, minimising deflections for superior force feedback.

    Internal balancing and a traditional hooked design ensure fluidity and safety.

    AURA transcends the ordinary, delivering enduring excellence.

    Cutting-Edge French Craftsmanship

    Handcrafted in Maubeuge with exclusive artisanal expertise, AURA combines composite mastery, precise machining, and advanced material bonding for extraordinary reliability.

    Produced in limited batches on order, each wheel bears a micro-engraved mark attesting to its elite status, with full traceability and a robust warranty.

    From epic climbs to demanding circuits, AURA fuses French tradition with cutting-edge technology, offering elite riders a cycling experience of absolute precision and refinement.

  • Hubset

    RAR ESO UL

    The ESO UL+ version, specifically engineered for carbon/titanium hybrid spokes, enhances tensile strength. Machined from the finest 7075T6 aerospace-grade aluminium alloy, finite element analysis has enabled additional asymmetric machining to significantly reduce weight.

    • Front: 78g
    • Rear: 168g (+35g XDR full steel body)

  • Bearings

    SKF

    Standard on RAR ESO hubs, SKF bearings, manufactured in Japan or Italy, feature a polymer cage and double rubber seal for optimal smoothness after a brief break-in period, minimizing friction for lasting efficiency. For competitors seeking precision, SKF bearings provide the perfect balance of durability and performance.

    • Ideal Use: Competition – ROAD / MTB / GRAVEL
    • Maintenance: None
    • Endurance: Standard
    • Friction Torque (6902 at 15°C): 0.55 cN.m

    Cycling Ceramic

    Available as an option across the RAR range, Cycling Ceramic bearings are assembled in France with ultra-hard ceramic balls, steel races, and low-friction rubber seals, delivering instant responsiveness from the first rotation. Periodic lubrication maximizes their longevity. For performance enthusiasts, these artisanal French bearings transform every pedal stroke into an experience of pure, fluid precision.

    • Ideal Use: Competition – ROAD / MTB / GRAVEL
    • Maintenance: Lubrication every 2,000 to 5,000 km
    • Endurance: Standard
    • Friction Torque (6902 at 15°C): 0.30 cN.m
