Lightweight. Stiff. Built for fast road riding.
The Avian CR3 is a lightweight carbon wheelset engineered to deliver an impressive balance of weight, stiffness, aerodynamics and durability.
Weighing just 1,220g in the 45mm configuration, the CR3 is designed to provide rapid acceleration and a responsive ride while maintaining the stiffness required for sprints, fast cornering and everyday performance riding.
The CR3 uses T1100 carbon fibre combined with Avian's customised resin system to create a lightweight yet strong rim. The rim has been tested to withstand a 110J impact and is capable of handling up to 140kg of spoke tension, giving the CR3 a strong foundation for a performance-focused wheelset.
Avian's Loop construction uses a continuous piece of carbon fibre through the main section of the rim rather than the traditional multi-piece construction. This improves the integrity of the carbon structure and contributes to the wheel's stiffness and strength.
The Mega-Structure rim design eliminates external spoke holes, creating a more continuous carbon structure. This increases rim stiffness and strength while also removing the need for conventional rim tape, potentially saving around 50g from the overall system weight.
The CR3 is equipped with lightweight Alpina Ultralite Aero spokes, manufactured in Italy, paired with Sapim Secure Lock nipples. The locking nipple design helps prevent spoke rotation over time, supporting long-term wheel stability and consistent spoke tension.
At the centre of the wheelset is Avian's R270 hub, featuring a serviceable ratchet system designed for durability and straightforward maintenance.
Available in 45mm and 50mm rim depths, the CR3 gives riders the choice between a lighter, more versatile setup and a deeper aerodynamic profile. Both versions use a 30mm external rim width and are compatible with clincher and tubeless tyres.
The result is a fast, responsive and technically advanced carbon wheelset that offers many of the features expected from significantly more expensive performance wheels.
Purim
Not only paint free. Under Purim technology, the raw rim is already close to painted rim so only need to be slightly polished and thus reserves more strength and stiffness.
