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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  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.

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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWheelset Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e998g (+\/- 30g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRim Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e345 +\/- 15g (raw finished)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProfile Depth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eExternal Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32mm at widest point, 29.5mm at uprights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInternal Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eERD\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e540.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHole Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 holes front and rear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpokes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUltralight carbon aero blade, 20 front \/ 20 rear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHubs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVenn RECD-02, 36-tooth ratchet, ultralight shell, S\u0026amp;S ceramic bearings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFront Axle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 x 100mm thru axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRear Axle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 x 142mm thru axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRotor Mount\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCenter Lock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrake Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisc brake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTire Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTubeless \/ Clincher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700c \/ 29\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCassette Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN3W, Shimano HG, SRAM XDR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNipples\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal aluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish Options\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGloss uncoated, Matte uncoated, 25k pattern (+30g per rim)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDecal Options\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilver Venn Hanko, Black Venn logo, None (plain carbon)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTool Access Holes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes (needs tubeless tape) or No (true tubeless, no tape needed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRider Weight Limit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRim Warranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWheel Warranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLead Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade to order - ships 5 to 8 weeks after payment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly Required\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo - ships as a complete built wheelset\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does the 500 C UL compare to other 50mm wheelsets?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe 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.
