The beginning of a new era
What is high performance? Fluid dynamics simulations, wind tunnel testing and field trials alone are not enough. When technical skill pairs with the desire to be better, it generates a state that makes the passing of time enjoyable and imperceptible. Mind and body united by a single flow where conscience becomes action.
We were looking for an answer and we found it in the Kleos Race Division (RD): a new engineering vision that makes the same methods validated by professionals available to all.

Rims
Three different heights: 36, 50 and 62 mm. The new lamination combines the best Toray T1000 and T700 carbon fibre fabric with UD finish. Elegance and racing spirit.

Spokes
Assembled on Ergal nipples, the double-thickness straight pull stainless steel spokes feature an aerodynamic profile that is different for front and rear. A winning choice: the wind tunnel tests confirm it.

Hubs
The Ergal 7075 T6 hubs are mounted using CeramicSpeed bearings and a freewheel body with titanium pawl carrier. The left flange on the front wheel uses Miche Aero Blade technology. The aim: to shield the air flow and reduce aerodynamic resistance. It's called marginal gains: for us, it's the ultimate in technology. Race Division.

Aero Tubeless
The Kleos RD 36 and Kleos RD 50 are equipped with a 21 mm inner well while the Kleos RD 62 offer a wider section: 23 mm. The retention hook meets the modern ETRTO standards and is compatible with all commercially available tubeless and clincher tyres.

The new Kleos RD Range
It is never easy to combine high performance and reliability. To achieve this we worked in every single detail that makes up the new Kleos RD. Wind tunnel and road tests to create a completely new wheel series which today stands at the top of Miche's road range.
Lightness
Weight isn't everything. Apart from extreme downward inclines and major climbs, aerodynamics is what makes the difference. And there's a line that mustn't be crossed. We've put safety first without losing sight of the final weight of each wheelset.
Smoothness
Reducing aerodynamic resistance is not enough. To really raise the bar you also need to work on the friction. Together with CeramicSpeed, we have designed bearings made specifically for the Kleos RD range.
Stiffness
Vertical elasticity and torsional stiffness. The wheel as an integral part of the bicycle system calibrated to a single engineering model. Where even the eyelet of a single spoke can make the difference.
Race DivisionIt's the competitive spirit that generates high performance. Starting with the brand new Kleos RD wheels Miche has moved the first steps in a new dimension that combines past know-how with cutting-edge technology of the present. The RD programme components and wheels embody this philosophy. What is our wish? To make it so every cycling aficionado can enjoy the same technical solutions validated and used in competition by our athletes.
