The Pride Control V2 Helium wheelset combines lightness, stiffness and responsiveness to meet the demands of BMX Race riders seeking performance. Developed by Pride Racing, it combines ultra-light Helium rims and high-precision Control V2 hubs to deliver rapid acceleration and excellent reliability in competition.
The Pride Helium Expert Rim, specially designed for competition, stands out with a weight of under 300 g in Pro and Expert sizes. Its low profile enhances acceleration and manoeuvrability, enabling explosive bursts of speed and precise handling on BMX tracks.
It benefits from the Arcos System manufacturing process, which optimises the rim’s internal structure and allows the properties of 6069-T6 aluminium to be fully exploited. This high-end material offers an excellent balance between lightness, stiffness and strength to tackle the most demanding tracks.
The wheels are fitted with Pride Control V2 hubs, CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminium, with high flanges to improve the overall stiffness. The rear hub features a 7075-T6 aluminium driver with a 6-pawl micro-toothed system engaging in groups of three, offering 180 engagement points for almost instant acceleration, ideal when exiting corners or at the start.
