Every one of us at KRU is a cyclist. We love sports and we appreciate the effort required to reach a distant objective. At our company we believe we need to support two types of competition. The first one is that of every cyclist competitor in the world, amateur or professional, climber or timetrialist, stage or sportive racer. The other one is a belief that, ultimately, sport is about improving oneself and making sure you’ve given it your best effort. That’s why our main goal is to make the most advanced and comfortable components. We want to help you Advance Your Riding. We are introducing the most advanced range of cycling wheels. KRU wheels are completely re-engineered and designed from the ground up, effectively raising the technology level in the market and the riding experience of cyclists. We achieved this with patented proprietary technologies, clever design solutions and visually appealing features. KRU comes from the word CREW, a group of people who work closely together. We love training and sport is what brought us together when we first met in Milan, Italy, 20 years ago. We then became passionate cyclists and later started successful professional careers creating and selling wheels and other cycling components for some of the most renowned brands. Many of these products are so popular that if you own a road bicycle there’s a good chance you are already using one of our products today. Fast forward now, we decided to come back together for the KRU project to combine our experiences and join forces in starting a new page of the cycling industry. We apply our passion for cycling to everything that we do: product research, design engineering, careful testing, carbon fiber manufacturing, mechanical know-how, and chain supply knowledge.

Each element is a part of a greater whole. That’s why we call the main features of our products K-elements.

KRU wheels are designed in-house from the ground up. Our product development is characterised by a willingness and ability to question every prior assumption the industry has made. The KRU team has a strong experience creating products for many of the most renowned cycling brands. We make our decisions by staying in close contact with cyclists and we are motivated by an immense passion for this sport and lifestyle. Our products are made to bring meaningful and practical improvements through clever technical solutions so that we can offer value to as many cyclists as possible. KRU wheels are built on 5 innovative technologies that bring meaningful improvements for both the professional and amateur rider. The technological advancements we introduce to the cycling industry span across every possible stage of the product development process. Research of new patented technologies, reengineering of manufacturing processes, development of proprietary design, exploration of new combinations of materials, strict quality testing processes are some of the tools we use to shape our products. WE HAVE DEVELOPED OUR OWN PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES, WE CALL THEM “K-ELEMENTS”:

H T U E B C H & N O S L P O O G K Y E S

In recent years the development of cycling wheels has been predominantly focused on assemblying together parts from different producers or at most applying minor modifications to the shape of the rim. The industry appears to have failed to introduce meaningful technology advancements and to have completely forgotten the central component of a wheel’s structure: the hub. Our approach has been nearly the opposite, the hub is where we’ve started the development and put the most effort and testing. During our research we noticed two big areas for improvement over existing products on the market. One is an imperfect alignment of the bearings which often causes durability issues, especially when the quick release skewer is tightened excessively. The other, is that the vast majority of cyclists never apply any maintenance to the wheel, even less to the hub. This means that there is a substantial amount of cyclists whose wheels and hubs are literally slowing them down.

To address these issues we have completely redesigned the structure of a wheel hub and patented it under the name of Enhanced Bearings Performance (EBP). Our hub assembly process is also unique in the industry. We use a full 5 axis CNC machined production process in a single manufacturing station while bearings are all inserted at once with optimal alignment and controlled preload. • Completely rethought hub design and assembly • Unaffected by overtightening of the quick release (actually rolls faster) • No maintenance required (200.000 km guaranteed) • Fast rolling resistance and lower friction comparable to ceramic bearings • Performs well where other products fail

Spokes failure is the most common maintenance issues affecting road cycling wheels for many cyclists. Tackling this problem quickly become a priority in our effort of completely redesigning wheels. Spokes are central in making sure that the structure of a wheel maintains its rigidity. Causes of their failures include imperfect alignment, an incorrect amount of tension because of improper setup or loss during normal use. To create the SAS technology we have drilled an hemispherical groove in the hub flange and added a ball shaped washer placed underneath the spoke head. This design allows spokes to perfectly align from the hub flange to the rim increasing their ability to withstand tension loads, maintaining the shape of the wheel at lower tension and decreasing the risk of wheel failure.

Major benefits of the SAS technology include higher stiffness which maximises power transfer, higher durability, lower risk of broken spokes and an improved riding experience, especially on fast corners. Our tests have demonstrated an ability of KRU wheels to reach very extreme lean angles at corners.

• Design allows spokes to perfectly align from the hub flange to the rim supporting higher tension • Higher wheel performance in terms of stiffness and stability • Greater durability of the spokes, less maintenance required • Faster average speed while riding corners • Higher maximum corner lean angle >45°

In our effort of rebuilding wheels from the ground up, our research showed clear areas of improvement in the way rims are manufactured. In particular, we focused on improving their structure. The structure of a wheel directly affects its stiffness, speed and durability. KRU technologies address two areas in particular: lamination and materials. Seamless Laminate Construction (SLC) and Solid Lamination Enhanced (SLED) solve industry-wide challenges in the lamination stage of carbon rims manufacturing processes. Also, thanks to our knowledge of materials, we have introduced Vapor Grown Carbon Fiber (VGCF), a clever solution that solves the conundrum of striking a balance between strong mechanical properties and the ability to resist high temperatures. Our wheels take advantage of high quality manufacturing facilities and we invest strongly in research & development and quality control. We constantly monitor production and apply strict tests to ensure our wheels are reliable and durable. True to our intention to strive for continuous advances in cycling technology, we set up our own tests to raise the bar of industry standards. An example is our “European alps test” reproducing the stress of the steep descents of italian Dolomites mountains and demonstrates the outstanding performance of our materials and designs.

• We applied seamless lamination technology on both the rim and clincher hooks to substantially improve the construction of the wheels • One seamless 3K layer is wrapped all around the rim bringing superior stiffness, increased strength and extended durability • On the clincher hook this technology means no weak points and decreased risk of wheel failure compared to traditional lamination methods that require cutting the hooks and removing excess fiber

• Applied carbon nanofiber technology used in aerospace by enriching high TG resin with nanotubes synthesized with “vapor phase” method • Higher thermal conductivity helps spread the heat in case of overheating • Great results: Passed with wide margin our custom testing standard “European Alps Test” reproducing the steep descents of the most famous and technical italian mountains

Hi TG

The most common disc wheel solution in the market is a normal wheel with a cover which means that while using that wheel you are carrying a lot of unnecessary weight with a structure optimized to be something it’s not used for. Our approach has been instead to optimize for its real life use. That’s why our Disc Wheel is a single piece monocoque wheel that is empty inside. The walls of the wheel are structural since they carry their own weight. This makes the wheel very light with superior stiffness.

• Carbon lamination provides a strong construction • Empty wheel with structural carbon walls to obtain high stiffness at low weight (approx 980g without coating for our W-GEAR disc wheel)

Wholistic aerodynamic design

Contours of Velocity Magnitude (m/s)

• Wholistic aerodynamic design takes into consideration all relevant variables, including the tyre. • “Wing shape” wheel design reduces turbulent drag and optimizes aerodynamic performance • Declining brake track (25.5mm width at its middle section) reduces aerodynamic drag • Maximum width optimized for each individual wheel (max width for 38mm wheel: 27,5mm; 55mm wheel: 28,5mm; 88mm wheel: 30mm) reduces the turbulent flow and minimises fluid drag force • Wide rim allows great aerodynamic performance for different sizes of tyre • Design optimized for fantastic performance with all tyres that are 23mm wide or bigger

Our design is influenced by feedback from cyclists and multi-sport athletes at each stage of our development process. We initially define ideas based on inputs from our customers, partners and athletes. Then, we test those ideas at each stage with computer based software like “computer fluid dynamics” and real-life field testing for our prototypes. We apply short cycles of iterations where a product is only allowed to progress to the next stage if we see satisfactory results. This allows us to continuously optimize our products until we reach a high-quality product we are ready to release.

Stickers Our stickers can be applied on top of your wheel decals for further personalization. Available in the same colours of our hub caps. They are available as an outline or full letter.

Custom details We believe your bike should not only be fast, but also look great and feel unique. We’ve created several unique ways to help you personalize your bike. A comment we constantly get from cyclists is that they are always looking for ways to further personalize their racer. Also, they care about matching colours and appreciate the appearance of a well designed bike. We currently offer two standard colour combinations (grey and black) with three options for further personalization (yellow, green, red) and we are constantly looking for ideas to add more.

Hub caps KRU hub caps create a unique identity for your bike to help you break your “Personal Best” in style. They also provide extra protection for the bearings and the internal mechanic parts by making it more difficult for dirt and water to infiltrate.

Our axles are characterised by an innovative integrated camme system that allow for an easy and fast change of wheel without any extra weight. We’ve achieved this by using an elastic ring and a spring so that the nut can’t be separated from the lever.

Our titanium skewer is our lightest option and are available as an optional accessory (5mm axle). Matching end caps are also available as an extra.

We believe you should have the best riding experience possible. For this reason we have created a range of accessories with the same effort we applied in designing our wheels. These not only include spare parts, but also additional components created to give you more personalization and convenience of use.

Our brake pads are manufactured using a low density compound and a heat resistant polymer for better heat dissipation. They are also kevlar reinforced and UV resistant coating for extended durability. KRU brake pads are the only recommended option for our carbon rims.
