Deda SL5 DB Carbon Tubeless-ready 50mm wheels set 2026

Designed for cyclists who demand performance, durability and speed, the SL5 carbon wheel strikes the perfect balance between aerodynamic efficiency and versatility. With a rim height of 50 mm and an inner width of 23 mm, the SL5 provides exceptional tire support and stability, whether you choose a clincher or tubeless configuration. Made of high-modulus UD and 3K carbon fiber, the SL5 provides outstanding stiffness and responsive power transmission while maintaining a low weight of only 1,390 g per pair. Equipped with new “Allroad” hubs, steel bearings, and a robust 40-tooth double ratchet engagement system, the SL5 ensures high smoothness and fast, efficient power transmission.

50 mm rim height
With a rim height of 50 mm, the SL5 offers exceptional tire support and great stability with both clincher and tubeless configurations.

High-modulus carbon rim
Made of UD and 3K high-modulus carbon fiber, the SL5 provides exceptional stiffness and responsive power transfer while maintaining a low weight of only 1,390 g per pair.

New 23mm inner channel
The new 23C rim is designed to accommodate tires from 28 mm, improving the overall aerodynamics of the wheel-tire system. External nipples simplify maintenance and centering, making adjustments quick and accessible. ABS® prevents nipple and spoke loosening, ensuring stability and reliability over time.

Ptfe and Kevlar layer
A thin layer of PTFE and Kevlar has been applied in the contact area between nipple and rim: this improves nipple adjustment precision and optimizes fit, reducing friction and wear over time.

Allroad hub technology
With lower flanges, the hub body is more compact and aerodynamic, reducing air resistance and improving pedaling efficiency. The lightweight construction provides significant weight reduction without compromising strength. The result is a hub that is reliable and smooth in operation.

40-tooth ratchet system
The 40-tooth dual ratchet system halves the engagement angle compared to the previous generation, providing immediate pedaling response. The cylindrical spring ensures greater stability and consistent operation of the mechanism.
