Venn 500 C UL Ultralight Carbon Spoke Wheelset
Description
The Venn 500 C UL is an ultralight aero road wheelset that weighs in at a stunning 998g - roughly 200g lighter than comparable 50mm disc wheelsets from Zipp, ENVE, Roval, Shimano, DT Swiss, Mavic, Cadex, Princeton, or Lightweight. Built around Venn's precision filament-wound carbon rims, the 500 C UL delivers a rare combination of climbing agility and aerodynamic punch in a single set of wheels. The 50mm profile and 25mm internal width are optimized for modern 28mm+ road tires, offering improved rolling resistance, vibration damping, and confident handling. Laced with 20 ultralight carbon aero blade spokes front and rear, this wheelset translates every watt directly into forward motion with virtually zero flex or energy loss.
Finished without a clear coat and left in raw gloss or matte carbon, the rims emerge from multi-part articulated tooling fully compacted and virtually void-free - no filler, no paint, no added weight. Whether you're targeting podiums or pushing personal bests, the 500 C UL is an all-rounder built to perform at the highest level.
Key Features
- 998g Wheelset Weight: One of the lightest 50mm disc wheelsets available - approximately 200g lighter than top competitors from Zipp, ENVE, Roval, and others.
- 50mm Aero Profile: Provides meaningful aerodynamic drag reduction while keeping weight to a minimum - ideal for mixed terrain racing and fast road rides.
- 25mm Internal Width: Optimized for modern 28mm+ road tires; improves tire volume, rolling resistance, vibration damping, and sidewall support.
- 32mm External Width: Creates a stable, convex airfoil shape that remains predictable and controlled in crosswinds.
- Carbon Aero Blade Spokes (20F / 20R): Near-zero elongation under load ensures instant, lossless power transfer; bladed profile reduces aerodynamic drag.
- Venn RECD-02 36-Tooth Ratchet Hubs: Ultralight hub shell with S&S ceramic bearings delivers instantaneous engagement and frictionless rolling efficiency.
- Tubeless Ready: Compatible with traditional clincher and modern tubeless tires; ships with tubeless tape included. True tubeless (no tape) option also available.
- No Clear Coat Finish: Moulded to net shape using articulated multi-part tooling with controlled pressure and temperature - resulting in a fully compacted, virtually void-free wall that needs no coating.
- 5-Year Rim Warranty / 2-Year Wheel Warranty: Backed by Venn's industry-leading warranty terms and rigorous 100 J impact testing (UCI requires only 40 J).
- Multiple Cassette Compatibility: Available for N3W, Shimano HG, and SRAM XDR - fits a wide range of drivetrains.
- Disc Brake / Thru-Axle: 12x100mm front and 12x142mm rear thru axles; Center Lock rotor mount.

Why You'll Love It
Venn has been pushing the boundaries of carbon rim technology since 2010, earning 10 awards and honours including a Eurobike Award in 2015 for the world's first filament-wound bicycle rims. The 500 C UL is the culmination of that engineering legacy - a wheelset that proves you don't have to sacrifice aerodynamics to go light. With impact resistance tested to 100 J (more than double the UCI's 40 J requirement), these wheels are built to handle the real-world demands of racing and hard training, not just lab conditions. Riders who have invested in the 500 C UL consistently report a transformative difference in both climbing and flat-road speed. If you're ready to roll on a wheelset that outperforms options costing significantly more, the 500 C UL is a decision you won't second-guess.

FAQ
How does the 500 C UL compare to other 50mm wheelsets?
The Venn 500 C UL weighs approximately 998g, making it roughly 200g lighter than comparable 50mm disc wheelsets from leading brands including Zipp, ENVE, Roval, Shimano, DT Swiss, Mavic, Cadex, Princeton, and Lightweight. That weight savings is significant for climbing and acceleration without giving up the aerodynamic benefits of a 50mm profile.
What tire widths are compatible with this wheelset?
With a 25mm internal width, the 500 C UL is optimized for modern 28mm and wider road tires. The wider rim bed improves tire volume, reduces rolling resistance, and provides better sidewall support for improved handling. It is compatible with both traditional clincher and tubeless tires.
Is this wheelset tubeless ready?
Yes. The 500 C UL is fully tubeless compatible. It ships with tubeless tape for setups with tool access holes. A true tubeless option (no tape needed) with no tool access holes is also available. When run tubeless with sealant, flat tires are virtually eliminated - ideal for both racing and long-distance riding.
What cassette standards does the rear hub support?
The Venn RECD-02 rear hub is available for N3W (Campagnolo / newer SRAM), Shimano HG, and SRAM XDR. Please select the correct cassette type at checkout to match your drivetrain.
How long does it take to ship?
The Venn 500 C UL is made to order. Lead time is approximately 5 to 8 weeks after payment is received. If you have questions about your specific delivery window, please email us at service@omahasportsandgames.com and we'll be happy to assist.
What warranty is included?
Venn covers the rims with a 5-year warranty and the complete wheelset with a 2-year warranty. The rims are also impact tested to 100 J - more than double the 40 J required by the UCI - providing strong real-world confidence in the product's durability.
