OZ499: conceived, designed and made to be in the heart of excellence.
The result of a project which brought together a craftsman from the Vicenza area, Simone Carlesso, and OZ Racing, one of the leading manufacturers of car wheel rims. This partnership, which spanned a year of research and trials aimed at providing athletes and cycling enthusiasts with an exclusive product boasting unique technical features, resulted in the creation of a wheel which has already become a design icon.
From the laboratory to track and road tests, looking for the best technology: a wheel that marries high-tech design and outstanding aerodynamic efficiency and is unique for combining lightness and safety. It is the highest expression of its materials, carbon, titanium and ergal.
Testimony of the cutting-edge technology and world-class design which mark a turning point in the way we conceive and experience cycling. It is not just a sport, not just a competition.
Edition is its only limit. 500 numbered pieces, each having its exact weight inscribed. The prototype: black and red. The first 35 pieces: black and bronze and then...black and silver.
OZ499 is a once in a lifetime, a collectors item, which will never be proposed again.
