To mark the 15th anniversary of the Biturbo wheels, Bike Ahead is breaking with a long-standing tradition. The striking carbon wheels with a six-spoke design are available in colour for the first time – in either Frozen White or Frozen Bronze. The anniversary edition comprises three models and is limited to 15 sets of wheels per colour worldwide.
Ever since the launch of the first Biturbo wheels 15 years ago, Bike Ahead has been committed to a distinctive look featuring six carbon spokes and an unpainted, exposed carbon finish. For the anniversary edition, the manufacturer is departing from this concept for the first time. According to Bike Ahead, the matt finishes in Frozen White and Frozen Bronze are intended to evoke the appearance of frozen surfaces.
The carbon structure of the Bike Ahead Biturbo Edition 15 retains the company logo. The colour options were selected by the company’s founder, Christian Gemperlein, and applied by a specialist bicycle painter. The anniversary edition comprises the Biturbo RSX for MTB use, the Biturbo Gravel Aero and the road model Biturbo Aero 2.0. All wheelsets continue to be handcrafted in Würzburg.
Conclusion
With their six-spoke design, the Bike Ahead Biturbo wheels are already incredibly striking. In their anniversary livery, they’re now an absolute head-turner. The limited-edition Biturbos are visually striking in a way that few other sets of wheels can match. Road cyclists and gravel bikers are guaranteed to turn heads! - Jan Timmermann, TOUR editor
Six spokes for a Hallelujah
The distinctive six-spoke design was originally created as a final-year project by Bike-Ahead founder Christian Gemperlein. What began as a one-off piece has evolved into a complete range of wheelsets, which today rank among the best-known carbon wheelsets in the high-end segment. The monocoque construction allows the carbon lay-up to be tailored to different loads. This is designed to combine high lateral stiffness with riding comfort. It takes around two days to produce a wheel. The Biturbo Edition 15, limited to 15 units per colour and model, is now available via the Bike-Ahead webshop and authorised specialist retailers.
