Makadamm Legacy 35 road bike wheels

The Legacy 35 Disc Héritage Édition MaKadamm embodies 15 years of innovation, technical expertise and passion developed by MaKadamm in Toulouse. Entirely designed, developed and assembled in France, this pair of wheels stands as the ultimate benchmark in high-end craftsmanship, designed for discerning cyclists seeking an exclusive, high-performance and durable product.

Weighing just 893 g per pair, the Legacy 35 remains the holy grail of lightness for a mid-profile wheel, whilst offering exceptional stiffness and energy return. More versatile than the Legacy 25, it is aimed at cyclists seeking the perfect balance between aerodynamics, efficiency and stability, thanks to a taller rim and a reinforced structure.

Its performance is based on three fundamental dynamic principles:

- Advanced carbon architecture and HARDTECH 3 HCV resin,
- MK CTM Carbon Titanium Magnesium 2.5G spokes,
- Ultra-precise central drive stiffness.

The MK HFV Heritage Edition 35 mm rim (297 g) features a very high-quality carbon lay-up combining UD1 T1000, UD2 T1000 and UD3 T800. This construction optimises longitudinal strength, lateral stability and instantaneous power transfer, whilst maintaining excellent vibration tolerance.

Aerodynamics and aesthetics are enhanced by FMD (Flasher Micro Design) carbon engraving directly into the fibre and by the Rocket Polishing sodium oxide finish, significantly improving air and water flow, whilst increasing the surface’s hardness and durability.

The MK CTM2 2.5G spokes are genuine structural carbon spokes, incorporating titanium and magnesium. Their cross-section, which is slightly larger than that of the Legacy 25, improves stiffness and aerodynamic efficiency, perfectly suited to the 35 mm profile.

The MK UFO CNC Micro 3D hubs, made from 7075 aluminium and fitted with CERAMICSPEED ceramic bearings, guarantee exceptional smoothness, maximum reliability and mechanical precision worthy of fine watchmaking.

Each pair is laced and adjusted specifically to suit the cyclist’s physique and riding style, making the Legacy 35 a unique, responsive and perfectly balanced wheel.
