Designed to excel on high-elevation circuits and high-speed flats, AURA 52 integrates cutting-edge technologies specific to its range:
– Rims with a double core. An innovative construction reinforced with high-modulus M40J fibers, offering an optimal balance between lightness and robustness.
– The innovative titanium/carbon hybrid spokes. Ultra-light and resistant, they absorb vibrations for increased comfort over long distances.
– The ESO UL+ hubs. Machined from 7075T6 alloy, their optimized geometry guarantees impeccable lateral stiffness, while their steel gear mechanism ensures exceptional durability.

« What I like most is the handling and comfort! The steering is precise and they smooth out road imperfections. With this aero and super-light weight combo, we have an advantage over the competition! » says Loïc Ruffaut, 20,000 km annually, winner of multiple prestigious gran fondos.

With a record weight of 1070 g per pair and a rim depth of 52 mm x 22 mm internal width, AURA 52 is ideal for 25 to 30 mm tires, ensuring optimal aerodynamics and remarkable stability.

« With AURA 52, we are redefining performance standards. Increased comfort reduces fatigue, energy transfer and air penetration optimize speed, and reliability meets the demands of the best specialists. » adds Adrien Gontier, founder of RAR in 2007.
