Equator Wavy
Our most advanced wheels with a wavy profile: They remain controllable even in crosswinds and gusts, yet thanks to the irregular weaving of the fibers the wheels are lighter and 20% stiffer
Better Control and Aerodynamics
The wavy profile uses the tubercle effect to reduce the formation of turbulent vortices. The rim is noticeably more stable and easier to control in crosswinds and gusts.
You’ll feel as though you’re riding on lower rims than you actually are. A sudden gust of wind or a passing truck won’t jerk your handlebars as much as it would with a classic rim of comparable height.
Greater stiffness and lower weight
The sinusoidal profile created by the irregular weaving of the fibers increases the material’s stiffness and allows for a stronger nipple attachment.
The spokes are tensioned to 140 kg—20% more than on our standard wheels.
The result is a lighter, stiffer wheel with better dynamics and energy transfer.

Top-quality Japanese Toray carbon fiber
We use T700 and T800 fibers. We manufacture the prepreg (carbon fiber fabric) ourselves at our factory. This gives us complete control over the entire process.Epoxy with Nanofibers (NCT)
We add carbon nanofibers to the epoxy. This makes it up to 30% stronger and more resistant to chipping. The smaller amount of epoxy in the mixture reduces the weight of the rim.High-quality and widely available parts
We intentionally use proven parts that are easy to find. This means you can have your bikes serviced anywhere without having to wait for non-standard parts.
We don't sell wheels, we make them
Behind Equator stands the Gigantex factory. One of the world’s most respected manufacturers of carbon rims, supplying brands such as SRAM, Mavic, Fast Forward, FSA, and Truvativ.
We don’t resell rims; we’re a factory brand with our own know-how and nearly 100 patents.
