SLAVIA versus FESTKA SCALATORE: 120 years of cycling evolution

Designers have worked to create wheels as light and as tough as possible. In the past, higher stiffness was achieved by using more spokes, but at the cost of increased weight. Modern carbon spokes stay ultra-light, even in larger diameters, providing them with perfect rigidity. The FESTKA’s wheels can have fewer spokes than those on the SLAVIA, which means less weight while giving the wheels the required level of stiffness.
