Most tubular wheels that have internal nipples attach the spokes either to the inside of the aero section of the rim to reduce the overall length of the spoke, or attach them to what would be a traditional looking box section rim that uses an aero “fairing” that is glued to the box section rim to complete the profile. The latter is said to improve wheel stiffness and performance by those who use the design.

At TOKEN, we are taking things one step further with our patented G-Spoke design. Using metal grommets to support the load of the spoke, the same portion of the rim that the tyre is attached to, actually supports the nipple and spoke. By attaching the G-Spokes directly to the outer part of the rim you’ll get better power transfer to the tire, since there is less rim material between the two.

The G-Spoke design has been a few years in the making, and currently only available on our T50S wheel set.

TBT BEARINGS

TBT Bearings (Tiramic Bearing Technology) deliver outstanding performance. Ceramic balls are 60% lighter than steel, extremely durable, smoother and accelerate faster than their steel counterparts. The starting torque of Tiramic Bearings is only 74% of normal bearings while the turning torque is only 67% of normal bearings. Both these factors significantly reduce chain drag making pedalling lighter and your ride much smoother.

SPOKE

G-SPOKES

Patented by TOKEN, G-Spokes connect directly to the outer part of the rim right next to the tyre. All the power is delivered right down to the road and not lost in the rim. G-Spokes possess much stiffer climbing power and allow you to build up greater overall momentum.
