VeloElite 50mm Carbon Road Wheels

Designed to provide awesome speed and quality, blended with a stylish and custom look the VeloElite 50mm Carbon Road Wheels offer a balance of aero and low weight with head turning looks. They feature a deep section 50mm rim, with Sapim CX-Ray Spokes and a choice of 3 different hubs from the DT Swiss range alongside our very own VeloElite ONE hub.

We do not compromise on quality, all our wheelsets feature the same high quality carbon rims, with a subtle VE logo, or for the understated look. Our entry level 350 model is more than a match for its competitors, offering exceptional value for money. Our medium and top of the range 240 and 180 models take on the big boys and win. They are lighter, better built and handmade, all at a price that is considerably cheaper than our rivals. We also offer the all new VeloElite ONE range, based around our ONE hub.

All our 50mm carbon road wheels are tubeless ready.

Tom is a fantastic bike mechanic and wheel builder. Wheels that look great, perform incredibly and don’t cost the world. I’ll never get my wheels from anywhere else 👌🏼

I purchased 3 set of wheels from Veloelite and have riden them in all seasons. The gravel wheels G38 and GF40 have had some hard winter miles and continue to perform faultlesley. Great service and advice.

I bought a set of Carbon R50s with DT350 hubs last year and rode them all the way from Land’s End to John o’ Groats, they didn’t miss a beat.

Having ridden quite a few different carbon wheels, what really stands out with these is the excellent balance between responsiveness and comfort. They feel fast when you push on, but never harsh over long distances. The freehub is also pleasantly restrained, which is a big plus for me as overly loud hubs have been a real bugbear on other wheelsets I’ve owned.

I’m running P ZERO Race TLR 30mm tyres, which complement the wheels perfectly, noticeably improving both performance and ride smoothness. I also love the subtle design, they look and feel premium.

On top of that, Tom is a great bloke and offers genuinely excellent aftercare. I’d definitely choose these over a bigger brand, the quality is clearly, and you simply can’t match the personal touch you get with VeloElite.

I’m a huge fan and will definitely be a returning customer.

Tom goes above and beyond to build these wheels and keep the customer happy. Nothing was too much trouble. The wheels themselves are top notch and perform very well. I've had 3 sets now and had no complaints whatsoever with all of them. 5 🌟

The VeloElite R50 carbon bike wheels are a standout choice, combining aerodynamic efficiency, strength, and versatility. Here are the key reasons why our 50mm carbon wheels are the perfect addition to your bike.

Aerodynamics Wheels

The 50mm rim depth strikes an excellent balance between aerodynamic gains, practical usability and still low weight. At higher speeds, these wheels reduce drag, enabling you to maintain momentum with less effort.

While deeper rims like 60mm or more offer increased aerodynamic benefits, they can be more challenging to handle in crosswinds.

This makes them suitable for riders who want a performance boost without sacrificing control.
