Makadamm Legacy 55 road bike wheels

The Legacy 55 Disc Héritage Édition MaKadamm embodies MaKadamm ’s most radical vision of performance. The result of 15 years of development and master craftsmanship in Toulouse, this pair of wheels symbolises the very pinnacle of French high-end cycling in its most refined, exclusive and high-performance form.

Weighing in at 1017 g per pair, the Legacy 55 is a true powerhouse, designed for powerful cyclists, dedicated road riders and competitors who love to push their limits. Its 55 mm tall profile, combined with the secure Hard Tech Hook system, guarantees exceptional stability, controlled inertia and formidable aerodynamic efficiency.

Compared to the Legacy 45, the Legacy 55 marks a major leap forward in stiffness. It handles watts… and megawatts… with ease. Its exceptional efficiency is based on three fundamental performance 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 55 mm (387 g) rim features a very high-quality carbon lay-up combining UD1 T1000, UD2 T1000 and UD3 T800. This construction ensures exceptional lateral stiffness, perfect stability at high speeds and instantaneous energy transfer, even under heavy load.

The design and aerodynamics are taken to the next level thanks to FMD (Flasher Micro Design) carbon etching integrated directly into the fibre and the Rocket Polishing sodium oxide varnish, which optimises air and water flow whilst increasing the surface’s hardness and durability.

The MK CTM2 2.5G spokes, which are genuine structural carbon spokes (not sleeved), combine T1000 carbon, titanium and magnesium. Their 3 mm aero cross-section is specifically dimensioned for the 55 mm profile to optimise stiffness, aerodynamics and instantaneous response when accelerating.

The MK UFO CNC Micro 3D hubs, made from 7075 aluminium and combined with CERAMICSPEED ceramic bearings, ensure remarkable smoothness, extreme mechanical precision and reliability worthy of World Tour standards.

Each pair is individually laced, tensioned and adjusted to suit the cyclist’s physique and riding style, making the Legacy 55 a unique, demanding and exhilarating wheel.
