Created out of passion for cycling
Our journey begins with a deep love for cycling and the pursuit of excellence. Born from a relentless curiosity for innovation and an engineer’s fascination with precision, we set out to create high-performance components that redefine what’s possible on the road.
By uniting German engineering with advanced Japanese carbon technology, we harness the transformative power of premium materials. Our wheels are designed to empower cyclists to push their limits and feel the difference.
Our products embody German engineering and masterful craftsmanship, merging cutting-edge technology with a raw aesthetic and, thus, saving weight: that is our uncompromising approach. Each wheel is a testament to our passion: a commitment to delivering unparalleled performance, control, and acceleration.
Join us in celebrating the joy of cycling and discover the power of riding with RAYDN—where passion and precision meet to inspire greatness.
RAYDN Carbon Wheels, Raw Performance.
Our wheel-sets redefine excellence, offering a spectrum of options tailored to your cycling needs. Whether you're conquering steep ascents, slicing through the wind on flat stretches, or participating in a TT, RAYDN has the perfect companion for your ride.
With RAW aesthetics, ultra-lightweight carbon rims, and precision craftsmanship, our first “R” race-line is designed for those who demand the absolute best. Featuring carbon aero spokes and hybrid ceramic bearings, these wheelsets deliver maximum efficiency, redefining control and agility on the road.
Engineered for effortless acceleration, our wheels exemplify ethereal lightness, ensuring superior handling and responsiveness in every situation.
Optimized for both tubeless and tubed tires, the 21mm wide internal hooked rim enhances safety and compatibility across a broad range of tire pressures. Designed for tire widths between 26mm and 30mm, with 28mm offering the highest aerodynamic performance, these wheels strike the perfect balance between speed and stability. Additionally, our rear wheels spoke holes are of-set by 2.5 mm for a more even spoke tension distribution where it matters.
By combining T800 and T1000 fibers, we are able to fine-tune the balance between weight, stiffness, and durability, resulting in wheels that are both responsive and robust under demanding racing or riding conditions.
To meet UCI road racing standards, wheels must withstand an impact of 40 joules ±5% to gain certification. Our “R” race-line far exceeds this benchmark, engineered to endure impacts of at least 80 joules ±5% under UCI test conditions; for durability and performance.
