{"product_id":"duke-strada-42-wheelset","title":"DUKE Strada 42 Wheelset","description":"\u003cp\u003eAsk a room of riders what depth they'd pick if they could only own one road wheelset and the answer converges somewhere right around here. The Strada 42 is the all-rounder of DUKE's Elite road range: enough profile to be a first honest step into aero, light enough — 1,169 grams the pair in the Mad Max build — that nothing about it feels like a compromise. Toray T1100 carbon, DUKE's SLR5 layup, laced by hand in their Vendée, France workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 42's talent is behaving well everywhere. It accelerates with real efficiency, holds speed on rolling terrain, and stays composed in crosswinds that make deeper wheels a handful — confidence-inspiring across varied terrain and the long days where a wheelset's manners matter more than its numbers. The 25mm internal width is shaped around a 28–30mm tire, DRC damping filters road buzz, and DUKE's Offset asymmetric lacing balances spoke tension side to side for lateral stiffness and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction is the full DUKE playbook: SpokeCore molds every spoke hole into the layup rather than drilling cured carbon, and the VFP finish skips clearcoat entirely — lighter, more scratch-resistant, cleaner to produce. Hooked and tubeless-ready, each set arrives taped and valved with spare spokes, nipples, and a build certificate, and every DUKE carbon rim carries a lifetime, transferable crash-replacement program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe build these with DUKE's own Mad Max 3 hubs with black Sapim spokes, or Tune's Nano hubs in silver with silver spokes, and your choice of XDR, HG11, or N3W freehub. If you're looking for a custom build around these rims — spoke counts, decals, a hub we don't list — \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003ereach out\u003c\/a\u003e for a quote.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke","offers":[{"title":"MadMax 3 - Cx Spoke Black \/ XDR","offer_id":51996180152637,"sku":"210000065647","price":3690.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tune Nano Silver - Cx Silver Spoke \/ XDR","offer_id":51996180185405,"sku":"210000065648","price":3890.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MadMax 3 - Cx Spoke Black \/ HG11","offer_id":51996180218173,"sku":"210000065649","price":3690.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tune Nano Silver - Cx Silver Spoke \/ HG11","offer_id":51996180250941,"sku":"210000065650","price":3890.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MadMax 3 - Cx Spoke Black \/ N3W","offer_id":51996180283709,"sku":"210000065651","price":3690.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tune Nano Silver - Cx Silver Spoke \/ N3W","offer_id":51996180316477,"sku":"210000065652","price":3890.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1234\/3118\/files\/duke-strada-42-wheelset-studio-1.jpg?v=1784418416","url":"https:\/\/abovecategory.com\/products\/duke-strada-42-wheelset","provider":"Above Category","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
