Pro-Lite Gavia P55 Clincher carbon wheelset

pro_liet_gavia_clicher_carbin_wheel

Price:790 €5_csillagbuy-now_3_yellow_refl

Our first Pro-Lite product that soon will be  available in our shop. It is a great price-value offer! If we compare it to the classic and very acknowledged Shimano Dura Ace 7850 C50, which weighs 1725 grams, we find theat the Pro-Lite weighs less than the expensive one!  With the introduction of a ceramic coating onto the braking surface combined with the Pro-Lite brake pad supplied you need never worry about brake performance again. In the wet or dry. As tested by some of the most fearless and stupid riders we could find.
