Drive SL 58D SS 🔥🔥
A road race wheelset with a masterful balance of aerodynamics and stiffness, offering balanced value and convenient serviceability while maintaining excellent aerodynamic performance.
MSRP:73800
Built with a 25mm internal width, it unlocks the true potential of 29–32C tires — lower pressure for unmatched ride quality, yet reduced drag for higher speeds. Inside, a one-piece titanium freehub (60T/6°) delivers instant engagement and long-term durability, while a precisely tuned hub with a tension difference of ≤7kgf between both sides and an increase in lateral stiffness ensures that much more watt is transferred directly to the road.
All of this is wrapped in a lightweight 1440g package (36mm front / 34mm rear external widths), validated by over 20 laboratory tests and wind-tunnel-proven real-world performance

The Drive SL 58D SS features a 25mm internal rim width, paired with a profile specifically optimized for 29–32C tires. This design effectively eliminates the “lightbulb effect” after inflation, providing superior sidewall support during cornering and out-of-the-saddle sprinting.
The Drive SL adopts a front/rear rim architecture: the 36mm external width of the front wheel prioritizes crosswind stability and precise handling, while the 34mm external width of the rear wheel reduces drag and enhances aerodynamic efficiency within the turbulent airflow behind the rider.
A wider internal width enables greater air volume. The 25mm internal width supports lower tire pressures, delivering enhanced vibration damping and long-distance comfort—every kilometer, more composed. Through continuous optimization of the rim layup, the Drive SL 58D SS achieves an ideal balance of low weight and aerodynamic performance within this high-volume platform, with total weight reaching just 1440g.
Titanium naturally offers excellent corrosion resistance and impact resistance. Elitewheels has gone a step further—mastering the thermal management challenges of titanium processing to machine the ratchet teeth and freehub body as a single piece (60T ratchet, 6°engagement angle).
