About company
In 2018, out of an active passion for cycling, our company was founded, dealing in building carbon wheels.
The wheels which in terms of safety and technical parameters will be at the forefront of renowned manufacturers.
The wheels intended for both amateurs and enthusiasts of "two wheels" as well as future and professional cyclists.
FALCON is the fastest representative of the animal kingdom, reaching speeds of up to 400 km / h !!!
Riding on the FALCON's is like a falcon flight (agile and energetic, calms down at longer distances).
Over the four years, thousands of cyclists and triathletes have trusted our wheels, and their number is growing every day.
We are very happy about it and it confirms that passion breeds professionalism. Professionalism gives quality, and quality is a luxury that you can feel while riding our wheels.
Professionalism is a process, not a destination. This is an additional motivation for us, allowing us to build fast, stiff, reliable and, above all, safe carbon wheels.

HANDBOOK ABOUT WHEELS
1WHAT RIM DEEP SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR MY ROAD BIKE?
38 mm - perfect for mountains, hilly routes, on a flat you will also feel the difference vs lower profiles.
50 mm - perfect for mixed routes, for the mountains for more advanced riders.
60 mm - perfect for flat and hilly areas.
88 mm - perfect for flat areas, dedicated to time trial.
2WHAT KIND OF HUBS SHOULD I CHOOSE?
For road wheels with brake on the rim you can choose between Powerway R36 hubs or DT Swiss hubs (350, 240 exp, 180 exp).
The Powerway R36 rear hub has a system of 3 pawls freehub working on 24 teeth.
All kind of hubs DT Swiss and F101 work in ratchets system 36T
For F101 hubs are used TPI bearings, the same as for DT Swiss hubs.
The F101 hubs are well sealed and their simple design results in excellent operation and trouble-free operation.
3TUBELESS OR TUBE TIRE?
For MTB and Gravel / Cross-country wheels, we strongly recommend tubeless tires. Possibility of driving at lower pressures without worrying about the inner tube (called snake). Off-road, it also means greater comfort and traction.
In road wheels, tubeless tires mean higher puncture resistance, higher ride comfort thanks to lower pressure, lower rolling resistance, better grip in tight and fast turns. The disadvantages include the need to ensure the presence of air in the wheels if they are not used for a long time so that it does not go to zero, because then it may be necessary to supplement the sealant.
If for some reason you are concerned about the tubeless system in your road bike, then a tire with a tube is also a good solution.
All our road, triathlon and gravel wheels come complete with rim strips that are suitable for both tubes and tubeless systems, without the need for tape use. You can change the system at any time. Just remember to use tubeless tires (TL, TLR markings).
4WHAT PRESSURE IS OPTIMAL FOR MY ROAD WHEELS?
Tire pressure is a very important element affecting the comfort and safety of riding. For our road rims with an inner width of 20/21mm, it is recommended to pump no more than:
Tubeless tires Tube tires
25 mm - 92 PSI 25 mm - 106 PSI
26 mm - 91 PSI 26 mm - 105 PSI
28 mm - 90 PSI 28 mm - 104 PSI
32 mm - 88 PSI 32 mm - 103 PSI
5WHAT DOES THE TG RATE MEAN IN THE CARBON RIM SPECIFICATION FOR RIM BRAKES?
TG TG is a value describing the maximum temperature to which a given rim can be heated without affecting its structure. The epoxy resin used in the production of carbon rims, after exceeding this temperature, changes its state of aggregation from solid to gel. At this point, the rim is damaged. Bubbles form on the braking track and the rim deforms irretrievably.
Many of the wheels offered on the market are built using rims with a TG 210 or even lower. We use carbon rims a TG = 250 !!!
A carbon rim has not yet been invented, which cannot be "burned" on a downhill.
Using the right brake pads, taking care of their proper positioning in relation to the rim, skilful braking (pulsating with both brakes at once, brakes applied no longer than 5 seconds) and "not swinging" with high tire pressure will allow you to enjoy your carbon wheels for many years.
Therefore, you can feel safe when you choose our wheels.
6Spokes Sapim CX-RAY or CX-SPRINT or D-LIGHT?
We use only Sapim cx-ray spokes for the wheels dedicated for road bikes.
These are eliptic spokes (aero), and the road wheel should be as aerodynamic as possible.
In Gravel wheels you can make a choice. If you plan to use the wheels only on this bike, you can safely opt for Sapim d-light spokes. They increase the weight of a set of wheels by only 24 grams, and reduce the cost of buying wheels by over 60 euro. However, if you plan to use these wheels also on a road bike, we recommend you to choose Sapim cx-ray or Sapim cx-sprint spokes
Sapim d-light spokes are a reasonable choice for MTB wheels, but if you want to reduce weight, choosing Sapim cx-ray spokes will take you down by 28 grams.
7WHAT KIND OF BRAKE PADS SHOULD I CHOOSE?
For riding in dry conditions, cork pads, which are free for the purchased wheels, are sufficient.
In wet conditions, we recommend SwissStop inserts for less experienced cyclists.
