Makadamm Legacy 45 road bike wheels

The Legacy 45 Disc Héritage Édition MaKadamm s represent the culmination of 15 years of research, development and French craftsmanship at MaKadamm. Designed and assembled in Toulouse, this pair of wheels embodies the excellence of high-end handcrafted craftsmanship, intended for cyclists seeking absolute performance, exclusivity and pure riding sensations.

Weighing 937 g per pair, the Legacy 45 pushes the boundaries of the weight-to-stiffness-to-aerodynamics ratio for a 45 mm semi-high profile. It is positioned as the ultimate wheel for multi-terrain performance, capable of excelling in the mountains as well as on long, fast sections and rolling terrain.

Its performance is based on three fundamental pillars:

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

The MK HFV Heritage Edition 45 mm (327 g) rim is constructed from a very high-grade carbon lay-up combining UD1 T1000, UD2 T1000 and UD3 T800. This structure guarantees maximum longitudinal stiffness, remarkable lateral stability and instantaneous power transfer, even at high speeds.

The design and aerodynamics are enhanced by FMD (Flasher Micro Design) carbon etching, integrated directly into the fibre, combined with Rocket Polishing sodium oxide varnish, which improves airflow and water flow whilst increasing the surface’s hardness and durability.

The MK CTM2 2.5G spokes, true structural carbon spokes, combine T1000 carbon fibre, titanium and magnesium. Their optimised 3 mm cross-section improves stiffness and aerodynamic efficiency, perfectly suited to the 45 mm profile.

The MK UFO CNC Micro 3D hubs, made from 7075 aluminium and fitted with CERAMICSPEED ceramic bearings, offer exceptional smoothness, maximum reliability and mechanical precision of the highest standard.

Each pair is individually laced and adjusted to suit the rider’s physique and riding style, making the Legacy 45 a unique, responsive and incredibly efficient wheel.
