Chris King's ARD44: The Eco-Friendly Aero Wheelset
TL;DR
Chris King has launched the ARD44 all-road wheelset, featuring recyclable thermoplastic rims made from FusionFiber, a nylon-carbon composite material that is fully automated and results in zero waste. The carbon footprint of the rims is 30% lower than standard epoxy-based carbon rims, and the material is quieter, more impact-resistant, and fully recyclable. The wheelset is designed for both road and gravel use, with a hookless bead and a 25mm internal rim width. The ARD44 wheels turn on Chris King R45D hubs and come with a lifetime warranty.
