Since their creation, the Supertypes have represented an innovation in many ways. In particular the 550 T DX are the flagship of Miche in the performance field. A top of the range pair of wheels that make the weight and smoothness the workhorses. In fact the Team Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli she chose them to dress and complete the look of her own Bottecchia even during this season.
They have been conceived and designed primarily for use in speed races such as time trials and sprints, where the ability to aerodynamic penetration and rigidity become fundamental factors. Characteristics that do not, however, exclude use on climbs and medium-mountain routes, also thanks to the implemented technologies. These Supertype are a concentration of performance that enhance the characteristics of the bike, forming a perfect harmony between athlete, vehicle and asphalt.
Wheels for the race
For these Supertype 550 T DX Miche didn't just design a model that would outperform the competition in terms of aerodynamics, but went further. In fact Performance and lightness are guaranteed by the use of technologically advanced materials. A perfect recipe that translates into versatility on flat and uphill terrain.
Made entirely in Italy, these wheels are the best the Veneto-based company offers to the most demanding road racers. It's no coincidence have been chosen by Team Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli to race also this seasonA combination that makes it a winning example ready to be emulated on everyday roads.
Aero rims
The 550 T DX wheels are built with a profile from 50 mm to larger sectionThe circles are in 3K carbon fiber with high-modulus carbon laminationThey are available with 38mm and 50mm profile for the assembly of tubulars from 23 mm to 32 mm.
The 3K carbon fiber lamination and the aerodynamic profile allow for enhance your bike with particularly rigid but at the same time light, high-performance and easy to ride wheelsA combination of features that have impressed the most expert but which are also appreciated by those who do not boast an advanced sensitivity.
Premium hubs
Miche's attention to detail and performance obviously also extends to the most sensitive and important parts of the rims. In fact, as far as the hub is concerned, they chose to use a 7075 aluminum with oversized flanges and straight pull spoke pattern with 14+7 . There are also movement registration rings on both the front and rear.
Regarding the closing of the brake disc, It is recommended to use only the Shimano ring original for thru axle, with a 27 mm internal bore. The traction and braking forces are expressed in an optimal manner, maintaining an extremely low weight. The movement is on sealed SKF bearings and the freewheel body is CNC machined from AL 7075 T6 and titanium.
Weight and price
The tip the scales of these Supertype 550 T DX is positioned on the 1.488 gramsA featherweight considering the technical characteristics and the chosen profile. price available on the website in the version described is 2249,99 euros.
